Standup World

Hey if you like well written jokes with a dark edge, you’ll love Adrienne Iapalucci. She’s pretty great. One of my current favorites. The gloves are always off. She’s not afraid to joke about any subject. So much fun to watch her work.

Her new Netflix special was directed by Louis C.K. who is as good as directing these things as anyone else I’ve ever seen. This one’s shot at The Comedy Cellar in NY and it’s no-frills so you can just watch the comic, which I happen to love in a special.

You might have caught her set opening for Louis on his ‘Back to the Garden’ special. If not, this it.

But definitely go on one of your kids Netflix and watch her special. THE DARK QUEEN. She’s going to be a big shot soon and you’ll want to say you were into her before your neighbor you don’t like was.

I’m giving you a good tip here. Don’t waste it. Love you!!

Also, if you’re in town, tomorrow, at the Laugh Factory. MIKE BINDER and FRIENDS

Come on down. PS. The Don Knotts thing is a joke. If you come expecting to see the long dead, Knotts, I’m going to tease you.

R.I.P. to ED BLUESTONE. Long time stand up comedy fans will know Ed from his droll humor on the Tonight Show in the Carson days, and his National Lampoon writing. (‘BUY THIS MAGAZINE OR WE’ll KILL THIS DOG.) Ed sadly passed away last week. This weeks podcast is a way to say goodbye to an old friend. Please enjoy it, and reach out to your friends and loved ones. Time goes by in a jump cut.

Love you, Ed!

Ed pictured with, Mitzi Shore, Jay Leno, and Billy Braver in People Magazine circa 1977.

If you have any good Ed Bluestone stories or memories, share them here. Thanks.

Okay, I've screwed up a few times but this was a big one. This is a masterclass in what not to do in the making of a podcast episode. This one was unusable. The sound was awful. I wanted to blame Kailey the producer but it was truly my fault. I was bummed too because I've wanted to have Greg on for a long time, and his new special, YOU KNOW ME, shot at the Comedy Mothership, was pretty damn amazing.

I did some quick re-jigging though, patched together a new episode. Let me know what you think. I feel it tells the story pretty well. I learned a lesson, put it that waty.

Also, check out his new special on YOU TUBE

Also, if you’re in LA MONDAY NIGHT…. This Monday. Oct 28th. Another killer. Come out, and say hello.

And Text me to 'MIKE' at 55444 to get on my guest list for FREE TIX and info on all of the shows we're putting on.

Thanks a lot!

Josh Wolf has an incredibly fun and entertaining new special up on YOUTUBE called FOUR STORIES that is truly worth checking out. It's a lot of laughs and a great look into an interesting as hell stand up artist. FOUR STORIES. It speaks for itself. But these are four good ones.

Also check out the conversation on it and a lot of other things on this weeks episode of the podcast. It's number 79 and he's my very first return guest but I wanted to have him on because this special is so much fun. Plus I really love this guy. I want to be him when I grow down.

WATCH THE SPECIAL.

A back to basics episode. Just Kailey and I talking about four incredible stand up specials. Ellen Degeneres new one, Adam Sandler’s ‘Love You’, and two of my all time best from a couple years back that I never stop talking about ‘Rothaniel’ Jerrod Carmichael, and one of my all time favorite hours ever, Greg Warren’s ‘The Salesman’.

Watch or listen to the episode about these specials, about what goes into pulling off a great hour about something personal or public, and how Richard Pryor more of less invented it.

Also;

If you’re in L.A. tonight,  Monday night, 9-30-24 at the Hollywood Laugh Factory is going to be great, plus we have VINNY FASLINE and KRISTY QUINN.

We’ve been having fun on these shows, this is going to be one of the best. Come down and say hello.

Brittany Schmitt is funny as hell. She’s a lot of fun. Check out this episode. We talked right before she went off for a camping trip with her father up in Canada to one of my favorite places in the world. Algonquin Park.

Her new special ‘Horny’ is funny, real, and raw. It gets pretty dark. She goes into her mother’s suicide at the back end of the special and is pretty open while still being damn comical on a subject that’s not easy to have fun with. She’s got guts. I really like this special.

Check it out.

Also, if you’re in L.A. tomorrow/ Monday night, 8-26-24 at the Hollywood Laugh Factory is going to be great. We’ve been having fun on these shows. Come down.

Francisco Ramos is a smart, funny, comedian. Granted he’s not that smart, he made the decision to come on my podcast, but other than that he’s made some pretty good career choices. He’s got a fun style, he’s loose and authentic and there really isn’t anyone working quite like him.

It was a good time having him on the pod, he seems to me like he’s at a place that even though he needs a break of some kind, as all performers do, he seems at peace, happy just to be doing as well as he’s doing. He’s got good energy.

He has a new special out that he shot at Brad Garret’s club in Las Vegas released by the 800 Pound Gorilla gang, and he’s doing great on the road, doing sets with pals like Carlos Santos, and his own headlining show.

The new special VENEZULA ’MERICAN is up on You Tube where you can get it free, or you can rent it on 800 Pound Gorilla’s site for an add-free experience.

Watch / or listen to the podcast, you’ll see how engaging this guy is. He’s a winner. You’ll want to get his special, and hopefully, rent it so he gets a little something out it.

Enjoy.

Also, if you’re in L.A. tomorrow night. He’s on my show live and in the flesh at the Laugh Factory.

Come by and check him out along with Dane Cook, Erica Rhodes, Katherine Blanford, myself and Griffin James.

Thanks!
