General Chit-Chat Thread: A New Beginning

Honestly I can say, so many motherfuckers went to do the Saudi Arabian comedy festival thing but the bright side is that a lot of people aren't letting that shit slide from what I've seen

Bill Burr going is the most disappointing

Seemingly, the comedy landscape is shifting a lot again in recent months. The whole Austin comedy scene or Rogansphere if you will is coming under a lot of fire and the wheels are kinda falling off there.

 

[Santa Hoss]

Bill Burr going is the most disappointing

Easily so. Mainly because he's the one who has positioned himself most as an intellectual voice for the people, but then he does this show and literally falls hook, line and sinker for Saudi propaganda. I really can't believe how oblivious he's been acting.

The only stand up comedian I like these days is Taylor Tomlinson

i saw her live a few years ago

 

[Butters]

she played in Des Moines.

 

[Butters]

funny enough i havent heard much about her since. I think she hosted that midnight show on comedy central for a bit

 

[Jimmy King]

She’s so funny, I loved her on After Midnight and her Netflix comedy specials are good

 

[Santa Hoss]

For the comedians who never really gave a fuck about public perception, it's like alright fair enough. Still bullshit behavior but people don't look to them for their strong morals. Bill Burr on the other hand, that's been his whole bit for a while lol.

 

[Santa Hoss]

And yet Shane Gillis and Stavros Halkias who are two of the most fratboy kinda type of comedians right now had the dignity to turn it down.

 

[Santa Hoss]

But like I said yeah, thankfully, those guys and people like Dan Soder, Marc Maron and Anthony Jesselnik have all been on their ass about doing the Saudi show, which is good to see

 

[Butters]

they need to send punks tweet to these guys

 

[Jimmy King]

I saw a post with David Cross ripping them to shreds about it

 

[Santa Hoss]

That Punk tweet should be laid to rest considering is was coming from a total hypocrite as well
