00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.880
Caloroga Shark Media. Happy tax Day. I'm Johnny Mack with

2
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:15.119
your daily comedy news out on Netflix today. Tim Dillon special.

3
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:18.760
This one called I'm Your Mother. Described as a no

4
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:22.480
holds bared on, apologetic ride through today's chaos. Tim Dillon

5
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:25.000
tackles everything from his odd loyalty to the British royal

6
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:29.199
family to roosting the world's absurdities and more with no filter.

7
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:32.759
There is a trailer. Let's listen. It's so funny what

8
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:35.840
we find about in America. We're gonna ban TikTok or

9
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:39.000
we're not. I don't know. I don't care how you

10
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:41.280
feel about that. At a certain age, you gotta shut up.

11
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:44.960
Like I'm thirty nine years old and I have friends

12
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.479
that are still They're like, they can't ban TikTok. I'm

13
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:53.399
like you, Ralph, sit out, Sit this out. They can't

14
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:59.439
ban that child's dancy. Yep, Ralph, this looks terrible. Please stop.

15
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:04.200
Where am I gonna watch children? Dash? All right? Hey enough?

16
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:09.480
This one was filmed at the comedy Mothership Joe Rogan's

17
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:12.359
place in Austin, Texas. It seems like it has better

18
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:15.560
audio than his previous Netflix special. A Real Hero did

19
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:17.920
that one. The mix on that was just not good.

20
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:20.840
I am a big fan of Tim Dillon's podcast. I'm

21
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:23.040
not sure his stand up is as good as his

22
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:27.239
podcast is, but the podcast is top notch funny. Every

23
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:31.400
single week, Loreale put out a press release to discuss

24
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:35.200
their new relationship with Nicky Glazer. My headline here, tap

25
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:38.280
the breaks. I'm gonna pull out some of the language.

26
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:41.879
I get it's a press release, but guys, relax with this, Okay.

27
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:44.840
Nicky has had a great what is it six months

28
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:47.840
now since the Golden Globes. Not even Nicky's had a

29
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:49.920
good year going back to the Tom Brady Roast and

30
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:53.159
the Golden Globes. Get it. She's kind of the it

31
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:55.799
comedian right now. But we gotta tap the brakes with

32
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:57.879
some of this language. I will read to you from

33
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:01.840
the press release. Nicki Glazer partnering with Loreal. Their shared

34
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:05.040
commitment to pushing boundaries and bringing innovative ideas to life

35
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:09.879
provided a natural alignment for an authentic partnership between Loreal Professional,

36
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:13.639
Airlight Pro and Nicki Glazer. All that's fine, All right, here'shere,

37
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:16.360
I'm gonna start to push back. The Queen of Comedy

38
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:20.039
shared her thoughts on the partnership the Queen of Comedy?

39
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:23.280
Are we really going to call Nicki Glazer the Queen

40
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:25.960
of comedy? I don't know who the Queen of comedy is.

41
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:28.479
Maybe nobody should have the title right now, but are

42
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:31.919
we really going to call Nicki Glazer the Queen of comedy?

43
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:34.240
So all right, relax with the Queen of Comedy, who

44
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:38.120
shared her thoughts on the partnership's seamless synergy, noting comedy

45
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.680
is all about timing, and so is great hair. I'm

46
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:43.000
always on the go, and Airlight Pro let's me get

47
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.520
that perfect look for on and off camera performances quickly. Also,

48
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:50.000
it just feels elite. I mean, the tech is next level.

49
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:53.240
The infrared light the dryer is actually helping to dry

50
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:55.919
your hair fast without damage. And as someone who highlights

51
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:59.159
my hair and always experiences breakage, this is so important

52
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:01.840
to me. I'm picky about my tools because I often

53
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:04.560
get myself ready before shows without a full glam team,

54
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.599
And honestly, I was so blown away by the Airlight

55
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:11.240
Pro's power and precision. It's lightweight, powerful, and really easy

56
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:13.680
to use with all the custom settings. Nikki, did you

57
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:16.159
actually write that sentence? Yourself. Did you sit down with

58
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:18.840
your laptop and type the sentence. It's lightweight, powerful and

59
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:20.960
really easy to use with all the custom settings. Or

60
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:23.080
you know, perhaps a publicist helps you with this and

61
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:26.639
you just signed off on it. Nicki Glazer continues. It's

62
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:28.479
also quiet, so I can work on jokes and talk

63
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:31.199
to my friends backstage while I'm styling. I've never had

64
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:34.000
a dryer like this. I'm obsessed. Partnering with a brand

65
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:36.639
that's as forward thinking and dedicated to innovation as I

66
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:39.520
am in my own material just felt right. Airlight Pro

67
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:43.439
is defining the future of hairstyling, and I'm thrilled to

68
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.400
be part of it. The general manager of Loreal said,

69
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:49.800
Nicki Glazer is a major voice in comedy today. That's true,

70
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:52.439
she said, the forefront of the industry, just as Weird

71
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:54.759
at the forefront of beauty tech. It's a perfect match.

72
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:58.280
Nicki's authentic voice resonates with a huge audience, and like us,

73
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:02.080
she doesn't follow trends. She sets them. Now, the other

74
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:04.520
word I wanted to didpick was in the headline of

75
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:08.800
this press release, comedy Trailblazer. Nicki Glazer Now she might

76
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:13.680
be the queen of comedy. Maybe she is, but trailblazer here,

77
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:16.319
I'm wanting to complete the sentence. Nicki Glazer walked so

78
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:19.879
Blank could run. Can you complete that sentence? You can't?

79
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:23.319
Can you complete the sentence? Joe Rivers walked so Nicki

80
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:27.160
Glazer could run. That's a trailblazer. Okay, relax, I get

81
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:29.720
you want to sell hair dryers. Dave Chappelle will be

82
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:33.959
part of Toronto's Departure Festival and conference. Now why this

83
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:37.560
particularly caught my eye is I saw a tweet from

84
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:40.000
Bruce Hills. Now, who's Bruce Hills. Bruce Hills is the

85
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:42.920
executive producer of Departure Comedy who's putting this thing on?

86
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:46.040
But Bruce Hills used to be the big wig at

87
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:50.079
Just for Laughs Montreal before they had their financial challenges

88
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:52.279
a couple years ago when Bruce departed. So it's great.

89
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:54.720
Bruce is a good guy and it's good to see

90
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:58.879
Bruce running comedy things again. So with Bruce Hills and

91
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:01.439
Dave Chappelle at attached to this thing, we should pay

92
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:05.480
attention to what's going on in Toronto. Toronto's Departure Festival

93
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:11.480
comedy programming features rising Canadian talent with homegrown comedians including Jesseme, Rena,

94
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:15.319
Ivan Decker, Sophie Buddle, as On Phil's and Ali Hassan.

95
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:19.079
Comedy showcases focusing on emerging talent will take place at

96
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:22.600
the Comedy bart locations throughout Toronto, featuring breakout and next

97
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:26.319
gen comedians. Bruce said having Dave Chapelle take part and

98
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:28.480
Departure is a real honor for me the festival and

99
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:32.279
an amazing treat for our audiences. Starting off the inaugural

100
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:35.319
Departure Comedy Festival with somebody of Dave's caliber and influence

101
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:39.759
is incredibly exciting. The Departure Festival plus conference May sixth

102
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:42.879
through eleventh in Toronto and again back to Bruce Hills

103
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:45.319
used to be a big week at the Just for Laughs.

104
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.879
They not only did Just for last Montreal. There was

105
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:50.879
JFL Toronto, which was a great festival in itself. So

106
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:53.879
Bruce knows the city very very interesting development there. Will

107
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:57.079
keep an eye on that. Conan O'Brien must go. We'll

108
00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:01.800
be back for a whopping three episode ode season May eighth.

109
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:05.199
Conan will travel to New Zealand, Austria and Spain. In

110
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:08.560
these episodes, Bow and Yang would like someone else to

111
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:11.800
play JD Vans on SNL. He suggests please reach out

112
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:15.199
to Zach Galfanakis. Bowen says, I do my best with him,

113
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:16.519
but every time I have to play him, I go

114
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:18.879
to Lauren and say, you can do a buyback. You

115
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:20.680
don't have to stick with me. Please reach out to

116
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:23.839
Zach Galifanakis. Please reach out to Taran kill him. Yeah,

117
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:25.959
said I worked with an accent coach. We had to

118
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.839
find the middle between Appalachian but Ohio, Like, we really

119
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:30.120
had to find the right voice. And I was like,

120
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:32.240
I don't want to screw this up. I have such

121
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:34.399
an uphill battle here. Everyone in America is going to

122
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:36.519
be like the Asian guy's playing that guy. I was like,

123
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:38.319
I really got to nail this down. I'm just telling

124
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:40.360
you guys, I'm doing my best. Okay. It was a

125
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:43.879
good snl over the weekend, but there was a kerf fluffel.

126
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:49.879
Did you see the sketch The White potis very very fun.

127
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:52.480
I'm not sure it was hilarious, but the idea and

128
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:55.959
the production values on the White Potus just nailed it.

129
00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:58.920
Maybe laugh or laugh. It wasn't awesome, but the idea

130
00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:02.040
of it was amazing. Amy leu Wood you know her

131
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:05.839
from the White Lotus television show. She called out Sarah

132
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:09.879
Sherman's mean and unfunny impression of her character. Part of

133
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:13.240
the sketch made fun of Wood's character Chelsea Sarah Sherman

134
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:17.360
was wearing buck teeth. Amy said, while in honest mode,

135
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:20.120
I did find the SNL thing mean and unfunny XO.

136
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:23.800
She wrote this on Instagram. At least get the accent right. Seriously,

137
00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:26.560
I respect accuracy, even if it's mean. So to conclude

138
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:29.439
today's rant, HBO kind and supportive and never wrong me

139
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:33.800
So leave them alone. NBCSNL mean such a shame because

140
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:35.839
I had a great time watching it a couple weeks ago.

141
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:38.480
That's what the show's about. But there must be a cleverer,

142
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:42.480
more nuanced, less cheap way. According to Amy, she's had

143
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:46.959
apologies from SNL. I don't recall SNL apologizing to anyone

144
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:50.879
before I threw the phrase SNL issues apology into Google,

145
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:54.120
and I see headlines using the phrase SNL makes rare

146
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:59.439
apology being used several places. Website Media eight says, in

147
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:02.399
nineteen nine to a Wings World sketch, made a remark

148
00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:06.319
about then teenage Chelsea Clinton and her appearance Lauren Michaels

149
00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:10.879
and Mike Myers apologized. In twenty eighteen, Pete Davidson mocked

150
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:15.279
veteran and then GOP congressional candidate Dan Crenshaw's eye patch.

151
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:19.040
Crenshaw were's an eye patch because of a combat injury.

152
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:23.319
Pete Davidson offered a sincere on air apology, with Crenshaw

153
00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:26.759
himself present. This has nothing to do with comedy, but

154
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:29.800
while I have the floor, don't park in handicap spots,

155
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:32.960
you jerk? What set you off? Johnny Mack six fifty something.

156
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:35.519
This morning, I'm at the Donut Chain parking lot, doing

157
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:37.960
my thing, get my iced coffee, and there's just a

158
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:42.919
jerk sitting in the handicap spot, windows down, radio blaring,

159
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:47.480
and look, man, there's another spot two feet away. I

160
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:49.240
know you think you're just running in for a second,

161
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:52.519
but as somebody who had to drive around an elderly

162
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:56.519
ailing parent, don't use the handicap spots because the people

163
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:59.360
who need those spots need those spots. Okay, don't be

164
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:02.799
a jerk over it, get back to comedy. Sure, here's

165
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:05.720
the highest recommend I have of twenty twenty five so far.

166
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:10.720
Watch last one Laughing UK it's on Amazon Prime. It

167
00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:13.679
is the funniest thing of the year. So you've heard

168
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:15.440
me talk about this in the past, but I'll remind you.

169
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.000
So they take ten comedians and they lock them in

170
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:22.120
a stylized room TV studio set, and if you laugh,

171
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.799
you get kicked out. Jimmy Carr is your host. He's

172
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:27.840
the Jeff Proops of this thing. If you crack a smile,

173
00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:29.639
he can give you a yellow card. If you get

174
00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:32.240
two yellow cards, it's red, just like soccer. And if

175
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:33.759
you go straight to laugh, he can give you red

176
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.039
and you're out. It's fun to play along at home

177
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:39.720
and see if you can watch the show without laughing.

178
00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:43.559
I have failed every single time. In fact, during episode

179
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:48.120
two there's one comedian that I wasn't enjoying that comedian's presence,

180
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:50.600
and as the comedian did something, I kept thinking to myself,

181
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:52.879
can't stand you can't stand, you can't stand, you can't

182
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:56.039
stand you And that person made me laugh out loud,

183
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:58.399
and I got kicked off my own couch. I guess

184
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:02.480
I'm a particularly enjoying Richard Ayoad, who's great in everything,

185
00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:06.799
and Lou Sanders quickly becoming a very very favorite of mine.

186
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:09.200
It took me a minute to get used to Jimmy

187
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:12.360
Carr's current look. He has admittedly had a lot of

188
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:15.720
plastic surgery. He kind of looks like Jimmy Carr now.

189
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:18.799
I'd also like to buy him a sandwich. He's very thin,

190
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:21.600
and the camera adds weight to you, so I can

191
00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:24.279
only imagine how thin Jimmy is in real life right now.

192
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:26.799
But Jimmy is one of my favorites. So this show

193
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:30.919
I recommend. Last one Laughing UK I checked earlier this morning.

194
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:33.879
They have all the other international ones. Some might be

195
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:38.559
a little too far afield for us with American humor sensitivities,

196
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:40.879
but I think after I finished the UK one, I

197
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:43.039
might check out the Ireland one that they did also

198
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:45.840
South Africa, which if I recall correctly, was hosted by

199
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:49.679
Trevor Noah, so that's probably good. I recommend watch that,

200
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:51.440
and you can also watch Tim Dillanson A Good Night

201
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:55.120
of comedy. Huh yeah. Community fans know about six seasons

202
00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:57.559
in a movie. What if I said to you seven

203
00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:00.879
seasons in a movie? Joel McHale flowed to this one.

204
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:03.120
Joel said, I think there are some of us that

205
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:04.879
would love to keep going, And I would be like, great,

206
00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:06.559
If you guys want to do episodes, let us know.

207
00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:08.840
I think that'll probably depend on the success of a movie,

208
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:10.720
but I think if there's enough of a demand to

209
00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:12.440
do more, I don't know what look like, but obviously

210
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:14.000
the movie would have to inform a lot of that.

211
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:15.840
I'm game, and I know a few others a game.

212
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:17.200
I'm not going to tell you whom, but I would

213
00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:19.600
definitely do more. They're always like, oh, a limited series.

214
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:22.200
I'd totally be up for that. Okay. If we look

215
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:25.840
at the cast of Community, here's who I would guess

216
00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:30.519
would do it. Joel McHale obviously, yes, Danny Pody, I

217
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:33.440
mean he's doing the Dennis Lyrics sitcom. He's going to

218
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:37.000
do it. Alison Breen, she's got a bit of a career,

219
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:39.440
but she also tends to show up in a lot

220
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:43.200
of random things. I think she would do it. Gillian Jacobs,

221
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:45.879
I think she would do it. Donald Glover now he

222
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:48.960
left the show. Originally he seems to be the hardest

223
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:51.919
one to get. But what's Glover been up to lately?

224
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:54.600
I will answer that in a second. Jim Rash is

225
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.159
the dean, Yes, absolutely. Ken Jung likes to work and

226
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:00.320
often works with Michale, So I think he would do

227
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:03.120
it event Nicole Brown. I know she had some family

228
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:05.679
concerns and she had to walk away from the show

229
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:08.039
for a bit, so unclear and if she would do

230
00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:11.080
it now. Glover was quite hot for a little bit.

231
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:13.960
If we go backwards here in his IMDb, let's see,

232
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:16.799
he was the voice of Simba in the recent Mufasa

233
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:20.440
Lion King. All right, that's a legit gig. He was

234
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:22.360
a star of Mister and Missus Smith. But I think

235
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:24.200
they're going to swap the cast out for the next

236
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:26.080
season of that. But that was a good hit for him.

237
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:30.279
Atlanta ended in twenty twenty two. A month ago, he

238
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:34.559
canceled a Childish Gambino tour after a hospitalization and said

239
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:38.600
I have surgery scheduled and need time out to heal. Huh.

240
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:40.840
And back in twenty twenty four, he told The New

241
00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:44.159
York Times he was retiring the moniker a Childish Gambino,

242
00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:47.240
saying it was really just like, oh, it's done. It's

243
00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:48.799
not fulfilling, and I just felt like I didn't need

244
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:51.320
to build it in this way anymore. So who knows.

245
00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:53.039
I don't really have an answer for you. Maybe you

246
00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:55.480
can get Donald, maybe not, but if he's not touring

247
00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:58.440
because of surgery. The other hand of paychecks a paycheck,

248
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:01.399
is it less work to you play Troy then to

249
00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:05.519
perform a concert. I would guess maybe I'm wrong, don't know.

250
00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:08.039
We'll see if the movie ever comes out. On the

251
00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:11.960
other hand, At Moontower tonight, Brad Williams at the Paramount Theater.

252
00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:15.480
It's the only show tonight. It picks back up tomorrow

253
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:20.320
with quite a few shows. Looks like sixteen twenty shows tomorrow,

254
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:24.120
so we'll talk about Moontower tomorrow. The Age saw a

255
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:27.759
bunch of shows at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. One

256
00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:31.440
show is by artist, says Sez. The name of SES's

257
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:34.519
show is keeps Me Young. The Age tells us, if

258
00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:39.679
you only see one dyslexic bisexual musical comedian, and believe me,

259
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:42.080
that's a hard sentence to say. You say say with me,

260
00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:47.080
dyslexic bisexual musical comedian, say that five times fast, good luck.

261
00:13:47.559 --> 00:13:50.480
But if you only see one dyslexic bisexual musical comedis

262
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:52.559
se him getting better? Because I've said it ninety times,

263
00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:55.679
you didn't hear half the edits make it, says the

264
00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:58.320
comic and skating toilet critic is armed with a guitar,

265
00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:01.679
a stack of personal and wonderful cringy anecdotes, and a

266
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:04.759
willingness to plunder her life for laughs. She joked to

267
00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:07.360
the audience, I'm forcefully outing a lot of people tonight,

268
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:10.799
The Age says. Says reads the room well by acknowledging

269
00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:13.960
that stories about stuff you might do with your hands,

270
00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:17.240
bird crap on windows, and Jeremy from the football club

271
00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:21.519
may come across as a bit much. Four stars. Zoe

272
00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:25.360
coombs Mars show is called the splash Zone. This one

273
00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:27.679
did not get a great review, only three stars. The

274
00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:30.919
Age tells us the show relies on audience distractions and

275
00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:34.720
cultural references. Some of the punchlines are predictably daggy, but

276
00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:37.600
the fans lap them up. Daggy must be some ozzy

277
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:41.600
slang that I'm not familiar with. Google time. Daggy is

278
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:45.399
an informal adjective in Australia and New Zealand, slang primarily

279
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:49.919
used to describe somewhat or something that is unfashionable, unstylish,

280
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:53.039
or out of date. I like it, daggy, and let's

281
00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:56.200
do one more. Amy Gledhill's show is called make Me

282
00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:59.399
Look Fit on the poster. The review here were barely

283
00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:01.840
two minutes to Amy's show and the audience is already

284
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:05.360
swinging underwear in the air. That's fun. However, not every

285
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:08.039
yarn sticks the landing. A three minute speel about how

286
00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:11.200
much toilet paper she accumulates fizzles hard, and some of

287
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:14.279
her references are too British to translate to an Australian crowd.

288
00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:18.320
Three stars, and that is your comedy news for today.

289
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:20.200
If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it.

290
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:22.879
They might like it too. If you're on YouTube, like

291
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:25.120
and subscribe and all that stuff the YouTubers do you

292
00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:27.200
YouTube people know what to do? Do that hook a

293
00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:28.679
guy up? Will ya see you tomorrow?
