If you live in St Louis and are looking for something to do this weekend, I have a very fun afternoon standup comedy show tomorrow at 2pm at Perennial Brewery in South City. There's a great lineup and you will be done by 4. www.eventbrite.com/e/comedy-mat...

i highly recommend checking this incredible parody of modern history channel tv shows, its so well done with great production, you won't regret taking some time out to watch it www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEJM...
I hadn't heard of this controversy before now, but it's really great to see one of my favorite comic creators come to the defense of one of my other favorites. Also this is really well articulated and I gained a new appreciation for the level of visual research that goes into nonfiction comics.

My middle school bully died years later from getting drunk and being bit by a snake and my first thought when I heard was "hell yeah, that's hilarious." He didn't do anything nearly as horrible as Lindsey Graham.
My hot take is that Lindsey Graham did many contemptible things but if you’re furious that his Senate Democratic colleagues are posting nice things about him today you need to put down your phone, get some fresh air, and remember a time when a colleague you disliked departed this mortal coil.

Listening to this week's Jackie & Laurie Show, @jackiekashian.bsky.social just said something about her dad that literally made me double over with laughter, then immediately sighed and said "so maybe there's something funny there people will want to hear."

Not only was Steyer's answer on this really good, it's appalling how BAD Becerra's answer is. He immediately rolls over then tries insulting the reporter's intelligence.
i cant believe tom steyer is the first dem politician (that ive seen) to proudly and forcefully make this correct and obvious counter argument to the bigotry but im glad he did
If you're stuck trying to fix a scene or make a plot point work better, just try to think of the stupidest thing that can happen in that moment. It won't necessarily be the answer, but it'll get you to the answer that is always stupider than what you originally had. This is probably comedy specific.
Writers: what’s a solid piece of *craft* advice you wish you’d known sooner? Mine is this: when making writing decisions, always stop and ask yourself what is best for the SCENE. What are the scene’s goals? Does this sentence, this paragraph, this line of dialogue serve those goals? If not, fix it.

Very fun hearing @whatsallthispod.bsky.social pick my entry for British Thought of the Week. I don't know why, but I just knew @libbycwatson.com would love diving into the Weights and Measures Acts.
Jackie is one of my favorite comics of all time, and I have loved all of her previous specials/ albums. I'm very excited to listen to this on a future roadtrip (my preferred non-live way to experience standup), but everyone else should watch this immediately.
dear everyone i know - especially comics that like me and happen to be far more successful - please repost and gush about my new special and album youtu.be/v5kJlI41V2g?...
