DELRAY BEACH – Comedians often take the stage thinking some of the worst thoughts.
What if I forget my jokes? What if the audience doesn’t find me funny? Is my zipper down?
Low on the list of those thoughts is, What if I fall of the stage?
It turns out, James Austin Black should have been a little more concerned about that final question. Where some comics lean into their jokes, Black pretty much fell into his. In the Stand-Up Spotlight below there’s a link to the video.
In addition, there’s news of Marcella Arguello’s upcoming HBO Max comedy special, comic Lucas Zelnik’s deft handling of a audience member claiming to have Tourette’s Syndrome and a look inside the more affordable cars inside Jay Leno’s Garage.
Get out there and get funny (and watch where you step.)
STAND-UP SPOTLIGHT – Feb. 7, 2023
Comedian Falls Off Stage at Laugh Factory While Telling a Bad Joke
The comedian is James Austin Black, who is a member of So Far So Good, a sketch comedy show based in Chicago. Black commented on the original Instagram post, which was co-authored (co-posted? co-Insta’d?) by the group and Laugh Factory: Chicago.
So yes, considering the perfect timing of the fall and the source of the video, there is almost a 100% chance the entire video was, uh, staged. I will leave a 1% chance it was real just because it’s nice to believe in something. I mean, people still do fall down in 2023 right? It just probably happens more often when there aren’t three cameras shooting them.
Comedian Marcella Arguello’s New Special “Bitch Grow Up!” Debuts February 10th on HBO Max
In “Bitch, Grow Up!”, Arguello couples her larger-than-life stage presence with her brutally honest take on post-pandemic hook ups and why broke men are better in bed, an exploration of how “Beauty and the Beast” triggered an epiphany, and a self-reflection on her middle school D.A.R.E. essay. Arguello makes her standalone debut with this hilariously relatable stand-up comedy special taped at the Roulette Intermedium in Brooklyn, New York.
Stand-up comedian earns praise and respect for the way he handled an audience member with Tourette syndrome
A stand-up comedian, who has quite a reputation for shutting down hecklers from the audience in a matter of seconds, has earned praise for the way he handled a person with Tourette’s syndrome during a live show.
Lucas Zelnick was in the middle of a performance when someone from the crowd shouted an expletive at him. Instead of shutting down the person with an insulting remark, the comedian asked the audience to show some compassion and humour.
10 Surprisingly Cheap Cars In Jay Leno’s Garage
Would it surprise you that some people recognize Jay Leno better as the white-haired guy with lots of cars than television host, comedian, writer, and actor? Jay Leno did stand-up for years before joining NBC’s “The Tonight Show” in 1992, and we’ve overheard him say he bought his cars with money he made from stand-up comedy.
Well, if as reported by Celebrity Net Worth that Jay Leno takes home some $10 million annually from a hectic stand-up touring schedule which includes more than 200 dates a year, then we see how none of his salaries from “The Tonight Show” went to paying for his millions of dollars worth of vehicles. The content of Jay Leno’s garage includes a $20 million 1934 Duesenberg Walker Coupe, $12 million McLaren F1, $4.8 million Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita, and a $2.56 million 1939 Lagonda V12, to name a few.
