I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Man, that guy also has a direct line to my funny bone.
Seems like stand up specials are the only reason I haven't cancelled my Netflix subscription.

Louis is doing clubs. So tempted to drive to Des Moines for a Friday show.

Aaron Weber’s (Bargatze disciple) first half hour “Signature Dish” came out on YouTube today. It’s pretty good clean work. I enjoyed it.

Just saw Shane Gillis at Target Center. I don’t know how he can use any of it on SNL. Mark Normand as an opener surprised me.

Scored some row 2 seats for Louis here at the Orpheum here in September. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen him. 7 or 8 at least. He’ll always be my favorite.

I'm too cheap to get anything above the $100 range though
Still very good seats!

Re: The Stand-up Comedian Thread
Row 2 was $124 all-in per ticket. I used to see Louis in comedy clubs where he’d sell cds after the show. Was in row 1 at the Chicago Theater many years ago. I’ve never been close since. It will be great to see his dumb face again.Buby wrote:I also scored (2) tickets! (San Diego)daft twat wrote:Scored some row 2 seats for Louis here at the Orpheum here in September.

Anyone here familiar with the late Sean Lock? I’m just discovering him now but really love his humor. It’s a shame he passed from cancer.
