Speaker 1 (00:03):
Callaroga Shark Media very busy for a Sunday. Hello, I'm
Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. Let's follow yesterday's
lead and try and keep everything light and silly. Christina Pe.
Christina Pozitski has added her voice to those who did
(00:23):
not enjoy Megan Markle's new Netflix series With Love Meghan.
Before we get to Christina Pe, I'll give you my take.
I was watching it with my wife and I said,
I think this is kaufman Esque level comedy. There's no
way Meghan Markle is serious about this thing. This has
to be a put on. She can't possibly be serious
about the bees and making candles. I think it's an
(00:44):
Andy Kaufman level bit, making Megan Markle the greatest comedian
of our generation. So I plot her for that. If
you want to hear just entertaining savage reviews of the
Megan Markle series, check out our sister podcast, Palace Intrigue,
where we talk about the royals. I'm the writer on it.
I've been assembling this stuff. When I say the reviews
are unkind, that's an understatement anyway. Christina p said she's
(01:09):
an actress playing the part of a human being right now,
and it's not working. Christina shared this with her one
million followers on TikTok and said, I don't know what
the bleep of this show is. The problem from minute
one is that she's trying to be perfect all the
time and it reads as phony, as inauthentic and not fun. Megan,
you just need to be an actress. Just go act
(01:30):
You're great in suits, but when it comes to being
a household branded name, you better be that thing through
and through, otherwise people know that you're being fake and inauthentic.
She's like, I don't even like honey, but now I
appreciate it because I see how hard it is to get.
And then she makes beeswax candles out of real beeswax.
But she's like, I've never done this before. Yeah, you've
never done this before, And I can tell. We can
(01:50):
all tell. Savage Love at Ballas Intrigue, where you get
your shows, Matt Rife is playing two nights at Madison
Square Garden this summer. Matt says it's so unbelievable. It's
about as big as a comedian can get. Realistically, I
think there've only been about four comedians who've done stadiums
above arenas, even if it's not MSG. I mean, the
Toyota Center is a dream, but it gets to Madison
Square Garden above that it does seem like all the
(02:12):
bucket list items are checked off at that point. It's
the most famous venue on the planet stadium wise. Bill
Burr has definitely played Fenway Gable, Glacias has definitely played
Dodger Stadium. Larry the Cable Guy has played a football
stadium in Nebraska. I'm sure I'm forgetting others, and you
can remind me in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News
podcast group. Rife says it's actually not the first time
(02:34):
he's played MSG. I opened for Dave Chappelle on his
fiftieth birthday and I got a taste of it. I
was like, Wow, this would be unbelievable to do on
my own someday. Here we are, two years later, actually
making it happen. I'm stoked. New York City has always
been good to me. A mecca of stand up. Riife
talked about arenas versus smaller theaters and said I can
do the same kind of show in a three hundred
person comedy club as I do in a twenty thousand
(02:55):
seat arena all time out there. I would think the
likes of Jim Gaffigan would disagree on that, And I
remember quoting Jim on something like that maybe two weeks ago,
and Jerry might disagree. I'm not a performer. I don't know.
Riife said, that's kind of what I pride myself on,
being able to take the same kind of performance, same
type of show, and same energy that's relatively intimate to
such a big room. Yes, there's fifteen thousand plus people there,
(03:16):
but it just feels like we're hanging out at one party.
Some comedians can sometimes step out of their comfort zone,
but me, just people there. The energy in an arena
is miraculous. Man. I don't know how it's to describe it.
It's incompet it's to be the same adrenaline rush is
when someone catches a game winning touchdown. It's so much
fun and you could feel everybody having fun. It's like
getting hit with a blast of positivity, which I imagine
is the same description an adult film star would give.
(03:38):
Rife welcomes newcomers, and he was asked what they can expect.
I guess it would be context and more context. Comedians
never want to give away too much online. That's why
I post so much crowd work, because there's such unique
instances that are never going to be duplicated. That's what
unique is. Yes, I'm a language snob when it comes
to unique, I highly doubt I'm ever going to see
that person again. I'm never going to be in the
same circumstance and the same venue again and never hear
(03:58):
the same story. So it's almost like a little this
is kind of what's happening at the show. If you
come to the show, you're gonna get an hour of material,
you're gonna get interactive experience as well. I'm most likely
gonna talk to somebody and have a fun interaction there
and again, going back to the energy, Yes, we're all
entertained sitting and staring at our phone all day thinking haha,
that's funny. But to actually sit there and experience and
be part of it, it's physical experience as much as
(04:19):
mental and emotional. For anyone who has never been to
a comedy show before, it's the same as going to
music concert. No, it's not. You gotta hear your favorite
musician live. We'll keep an eye on this one. Kevin
Hornt's Bridgeport show was canceled for an unknown reason. Kevin
Hart was supposed to play the Total Mortgage Arena in
downtown Bridgeport on March twelfth. Ticketmaster said the event organizer
has had to cancel. Kevin Hart never afraid to take
(04:43):
a gig. He likes to work. He's got a new
animated series because of course he does. This one is
called Lil keV. Not the most original idea here at Kevin.
I feel like Chris Rack has done this before. The
series is set in nineteen ninety three in North Philadelphia
and follows twelve year old Kevin Hart, who's wilder man
and unshakable optimism constantly collide with his neighborhood's harsh realities.
(05:04):
Kevin Hart stars as Kevin Hart. Wanda Sykes stars as
Kevin Hart's hardworking mother Nancy, alongside Dian Cole, who stars
as Uncle Richard Junior, Nancy's formerly incarcerated younger brother. The
show blend's comedy and satsire while tackling real life issues.
Lil keV is the first original animated series for b
et plus, and if you visit beet dot plus at
(05:26):
a big long url, you can watch episode one. Here's
the story I bumped yesterday because it was political and
we weren't doing that yesterday. Lewis Black spoke to Dailycommercial
dot Com. Lewis is not happy with this whole do
g Elon Musk thing. Lewis has only twenty percent of
our workforce in the federal government comes from Washington, d C.
And I've said for a long long time that I
worked for the federal government for the Appalachian Regional Commission.
(05:47):
My father worked for the federal government as an engineer.
He went to work, he did his work, He built
c minds, and he helped make defensive weapons. Right says
his father didn't sit around going gee, I wonder he
did his full day's work. Jobs are important to people,
gives their lives. Meeting at about ninety five percent of
the people who work for the Feds. It's what they
do and they love what they're doing. But they're being
treated as if they did something wrong. And DOGE has
(06:08):
no proof except for the fact that they think they
need to cut them out. Don't act like because you
work in the private sector, holier than now. And this
is where normally there's a print interview. I'd get into
a lot of profanities. Lewis said, the job cuts don't
make sense. You know we're lowering the taxes for rich people.
I mean, this isn't brain surgery. There is a comedic
musical artist out of the UK. I'm not sure how
(06:29):
they pronounce the name of their band pay attention here.
I think is pronounced kont in the Gang ku n
and another letter I always pronounced kunt in. The Gang
have released a new song about the ailing Pope. It
is called Is the Pope Gonna Croak? And I'm recording
this on Friday afternoon. Hopefully the Pope has not passed
(06:50):
away between me recording this and the sentence personally, I
hope all people live a long life, and I will
mention for the second time in three days I'm of
the Catholic fate anyway. Is the Pope Gonna Croak underlines
the fact that the Pontiff is not made of magic
and someday, like all of us, he will pass away.
And like I said, hopefully not between Friday and meeting
recording this. Let's see what's happening at south By Southwest
(07:11):
on a Sunday four o'clock improv for Humans with the
best improvisers in the universe. All right, who were the
best improvisers in the universe? They are, apparently James Adomian
Anthony Tamnwick. Those are two good choices. Matt Besser, great choice,
Lisa Gilroy, great choice. Yeah, anybody else, you know, if
we want to challenge their premise that these are the
(07:33):
best improvisers in the universe. So there are other good improvisers.
Wayne Brady always seem pretty good to me at it.
Who else would you add? Facebook group, Daily Comedy News
podcast Group. Five o'clock The Comedians Comedian is recording an
episode with Scott Ackerman. At six o'clock, The Stand presents
WITS Live at south By. WITS is this new comedy
network that got a lot of press earlier in the week.
(07:54):
Kudos to their pr people. They announced some podcasts and
just every media outlet picked it up. Personally, I think
the reaction was oversized to what was actually announced, but
that's neither hearing her there. Congratulations to them. They've got
a Sunday night slot at south By, and on this show,
Joe DeRosa, Sam Jay Ian Lara and TJ. Miller. Also
at seven o'clock, The don't Tell Comedy All Stars. Now,
(08:14):
I had this question. Normally, don't tell comedy doesn't tell
us where the show is, that's what it is. But
this one is at the creak of the cave at
seven o'clock and I even know who's performing. It's Greerborn's,
Drew Dunn, Megan gilly Opi Olagbaju, and Laura Peak. Now, guys,
that's not what don't tell comedy is. This is the
opposite of don't tell comedy. This is tell comedy, which
(08:36):
is a hack joke, but it is the proper joke
to make in this circumstance, despite it being hack. Eight
o'clock Bonnie McFarlane, None of This is Real, says parentheses
stand up comedy special. What does that mean? Let me
click on it. Join award winning comedian and writer Bonnie
McFarlane for an exclusive live taping of her new comedy
special None of This Is Real. On the bill, Rich Voss,
(08:58):
Drew Dunn, and on a McFarlane. Pretty busy for Sunday Night.
A lot of times Sundays are Debta Comedy festivals, Allegian
Knight's at X at nine o'clock. Chad Dommiani Christina, Catherine Martinez,
A porn A Naturla, Natalie Palaminez, Nick Fune, Melissa Via Signor.
I like that line up a lot. I would go
to that. The description spend the night with comics and clowns.
(09:19):
We love as we bring the Allegians eponymous variety show
on the Road Legion Night's launched late in twenty four
at the opening of The Allegian's new room, The Vault,
at ten o'clock a live comedy event called Would You
Bang Him? Rich Voss and Barney McFarlane. This hilarious mock
game show features a lineup of male comedians delivering quick
sets to a panel of female judges, who then answered
the question would you Bang Him? I love it? Reggie Conquest,
(09:42):
Drew Dunn, Punky Johnson, Jay jorden Ian, Lara vonn Ay, McFarlane,
Caitlin Plufo boy, She's every roll of a sudden, Rich Voss,
Maddy Wiener. That sounds like fun. And at eleven, the
super Good show they have. I think it's AI or otherwise.
It's a stylized photo of what a comedy audio might
look like. It just looks so fake. Whatever generated it.
(10:03):
This is a stand up comedy show that is advertised
love the description on it. Alex English, Lynn Cobletz, Pete Lee,
Maddy Wiener, Godfrey all right, I haven't done this in
a while. I'm gonna do, though, what if we were there?
What would I make you go to? Let's see at
four o'clock we're absolutely hitting Matt Besser. That'll take us
to five point thirty, so we're gonna miss Scot Ackerman. Boy,
that's a shame six o'clock show, Let's skip that and
(10:28):
go to Let's see, Let's do Don't Tell at seven.
Then we'll grab a beverage and do would you bang him?
At ten? And I'm old, I can't stay up for
the late show. I'm going to bed. You can solo
on that one. And the Sydney Comedy Festival has announced
their lineup. Now, if you've been listening for a few years,
in April, you're going to hear me really deep dive
(10:50):
on the Sydney Comedy Festival. I like to see what's
going on down there and share some different comedians so
you know we're not every day going Hey, Bill Bird
did this and gafficated that it's fun to talk about
other people, So I personally really really enjoy spotlighting. The
Sydney Comedy Festival back for its twentieth anniversary, three hundred
and forty shows from April twenty first to May eighteenth,
(11:11):
a lot of good content. In the second half of
the podcast from Me, Scottish comedian Daniel Sloss kicks things
off with the festival's first one Night Stand, a Sydney
exclusive show at the Sydney Opera House. That's Thursday, April
twenty fourth. New for twenty twenty five is the Sydney
