00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.199
<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shark Media. Hello on Johnny Mack with your daily

2
00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:14.400
<v Speaker 1>comedy news. Let's start with kiss el Paso. That's a

3
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:16.800
<v Speaker 1>radio station website. It's not a dating website. What do

4
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:18.399
<v Speaker 1>you think I'm doing down here in the basement. I'm

5
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:21.000
<v Speaker 1>just recording a comedy podcast. I'm not up to anything.

6
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:27.160
<v Speaker 1>The headline is comedian Tom Sogura secretly Austin's Ladybird Lake killer.

7
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:30.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna guess no, but I'll indulge kiss el Paso

8
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:34.039
<v Speaker 1>and see what's happening here. Kiss el Paso writes. TikTok,

9
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Well there you go has once again become the breeding

10
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:40.600
<v Speaker 1>ground for wild theories and eyebrow raising speculations. This time,

11
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:44.759
<v Speaker 1>TikTok is a buzz with a jaw dropping claim. Comedian

12
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Tom Sagora is allegedly a serial killer operating around Ladybird

13
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Lake in Austin, Texas and being handed a note by

14
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:55.000
<v Speaker 1>the lawyer. Please be sure to make it clear Tom

15
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:58.159
<v Speaker 1>Sagora is not a serial killer and this is just

16
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:00.359
<v Speaker 1>a bit okay, got it? Kiss el pas Yk. So

17
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:03.320
<v Speaker 1>not a dating website, writes. The theory seems to have

18
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:07.560
<v Speaker 1>started with a TikTok video analyzing Tom Sigora's comedy specials

19
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:10.640
<v Speaker 1>taking place in Austin, specifically after he moved there in

20
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:13.319
<v Speaker 1>late twenty twenty one. The video pointed out his frequent

21
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:18.439
<v Speaker 1>references to dark humor and murder, some of the supposed evidence.

22
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:22.159
<v Speaker 1>Since Segora moved to Austin, twelve men have gone missing

23
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:25.439
<v Speaker 1>around Lady Bird Lake. The theory suggests that Tom Sigora's

24
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:28.959
<v Speaker 1>move and the timeline of these disappearances are too coincidental

25
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.480
<v Speaker 1>to ignore. They also claim Sigora's show sales have been

26
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:35.879
<v Speaker 1>declining and the number of listeners to his podcast have decreased.

27
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:37.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm not familiar with that being a story, and I

28
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:41.280
<v Speaker 1>study this pretty closely. Observers have noted that Tom Sagora

29
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:45.280
<v Speaker 1>appears visibly frustrated and angry in his podcast episodes, which

30
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:49.120
<v Speaker 1>some interpret as signs of deeper issues. That's it. That's

31
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:52.000
<v Speaker 1>all the alleged evidence. We'll keep a close eye on

32
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:56.159
<v Speaker 1>that story. Meanwhile, Kevin Hart is still feuding with Michael

33
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:59.319
<v Speaker 1>Jordan and says I could care less. Kevin's been talking

34
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:02.000
<v Speaker 1>about Michael Jordan during his current tour and says, Michael's

35
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.120
<v Speaker 1>had an attitude with me for years because I hosted

36
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:05.920
<v Speaker 1>a celebrity event for him and he came in late.

37
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:07.280
<v Speaker 1>I saw him coming in late, and I hit him

38
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:08.759
<v Speaker 1>with a joke. It was quick, it was all in fun.

39
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:10.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know where it came from. I hit him

40
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:12.800
<v Speaker 1>with a quick one. I'm forty five years old. It's

41
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:14.319
<v Speaker 1>not about the progression of life. You get to the

42
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:16.280
<v Speaker 1>point where little things don't matter. I'm not the same

43
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:19.280
<v Speaker 1>person I once was now. It's unclear when the charity

44
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:22.319
<v Speaker 1>event took place, but in twenty sixteen, Kevin Hart told

45
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Kimmel what the joke was, which is, what age

46
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:26.840
<v Speaker 1>do you get where it's okay to wear your pants

47
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:29.759
<v Speaker 1>that high and nobody addresses it. He compared Michael's outfit

48
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:33.479
<v Speaker 1>to a pregnant lesbian. Over the weekend, Kevin defended himself,

49
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:36.039
<v Speaker 1>telling his fans he believes Michael Jordan is a horrible

50
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:38.919
<v Speaker 1>dresser and wears some of the worst genes I've seen

51
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:41.120
<v Speaker 1>in my life. He went on a joke that Michael

52
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Jordan has huge back pockets that can fit a Dell

53
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.120
<v Speaker 1>computer on one side and a modem in the other pocket.

54
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:48.319
<v Speaker 1>That is funny. The podcast is about to get a

55
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:50.960
<v Speaker 1>little naughty here, as we quote Kevin Harnton. There's another

56
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:52.919
<v Speaker 1>naughty story later, So if you have kids with you,

57
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe stop listening. Okay, adults, you're still here. Kevin told

58
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:58.080
<v Speaker 1>the story about when he had to buy penis bills

59
00:02:58.080 --> 00:02:59.960
<v Speaker 1>following an injury he sustained last year that cost his

60
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.319
<v Speaker 1>penis to look like a thumb and he could move

61
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:04.759
<v Speaker 1>his legs. Kevin joked at the gas station where he

62
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:06.520
<v Speaker 1>went to buy the pills would run out of stock

63
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:08.680
<v Speaker 1>because one guy buys them all and stores them in

64
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:11.560
<v Speaker 1>his back pocket. The joke, I said, there's only one

65
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:14.319
<v Speaker 1>back pocket big enough to fit that many penis pills.

66
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:18.879
<v Speaker 1>Michael Jordan. Michael penis pill Jordan. He then said Michael

67
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.240
<v Speaker 1>will kill him when he hears the joke. Kevin also

68
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.560
<v Speaker 1>made fun of Michael's kids and said, if you ever

69
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:25.759
<v Speaker 1>told me I could get Michael Jordan DNA off the street,

70
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:27.639
<v Speaker 1>I would pay top dollar for it, shoot it in

71
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:29.919
<v Speaker 1>my son's butt immediately, and go say all right, go

72
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:31.960
<v Speaker 1>to a layup jump. Let me see something. If you

73
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:33.800
<v Speaker 1>don't think Michael Jordan thinks about it every time he

74
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:36.639
<v Speaker 1>sees del Curry on the sideline celebrating with Steph Curry.

75
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Michael got to look down the couch at Marcus and Jeffrey.

76
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:42.319
<v Speaker 1>Look at you two just sitting here all cuddled up

77
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:45.319
<v Speaker 1>with different colored Jordan combinations every day. You two pieces

78
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:49.560
<v Speaker 1>of bleep Now, Despite the hilarity, Michael Jordan's son Marcus

79
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.680
<v Speaker 1>recently tweeted that Kevin Hart is a hilarious man after

80
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:55.879
<v Speaker 1>attending one of Kevin Hart's shows. Marcus tweeted at Kevin

81
00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:58.199
<v Speaker 1>Hart four real the hilarious man as a new joke

82
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:02.280
<v Speaker 1>about my brother and Michael joh watch that Kevin is

83
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.719
<v Speaker 1>continuing to tour until December. A friend of the show,

84
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Jason Zenneman, in The New York Times, wrote about Joe

85
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Rogan's comedy special, I addressed this specially yesterday. I thought

86
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:14.840
<v Speaker 1>it was a big bag of okay zinman rights. There's

87
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:17.800
<v Speaker 1>one question you don't hear investigated on the Joe Rogan podcast.

88
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:21.480
<v Speaker 1>One relevant to a success, but taboo in certain precincts

89
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:24.480
<v Speaker 1>of the comedy world. Is Joe Rogan good at stand

90
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:26.879
<v Speaker 1>up comedy? That can be a dangerous one for some

91
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.120
<v Speaker 1>comics to touch on, because Rogan is becoming a powerful gatekeeper,

92
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:31.759
<v Speaker 1>the owner of a club in Austin, Texas and a

93
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:35.000
<v Speaker 1>host who drives viewers to specials and movies. Whereas he

94
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:38.160
<v Speaker 1>performs patient thoughtfulness in his podcast, his stand up is

95
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:41.839
<v Speaker 1>frantic animated, full of unmodulated yelling, His eyes pop out

96
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:44.399
<v Speaker 1>and his face reddens. Midway through burn the boats, a

97
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:47.199
<v Speaker 1>jagged line of perspiration forms on his tight yellow shirt,

98
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:50.279
<v Speaker 1>making him look like Charlie Brown on steroids. Yeah, he

99
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:52.759
<v Speaker 1>had a bad sweatstain in there. Bad shirt choice. I

100
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:56.720
<v Speaker 1>didn't think Joe looked good, but he looked a little old.

101
00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Zinneman rights his jokes, relying the most well worn of

102
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.199
<v Speaker 1>stand up subjects, pat downs at the airport. When it

103
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:04.920
<v Speaker 1>comes to six men have you heard are different than women?

104
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:08.000
<v Speaker 1>The variation with Rogan is additional sentence, mocking the straw

105
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:10.399
<v Speaker 1>man of those who think the differences are purely cultural.

106
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:13.839
<v Speaker 1>His joke constructions are also familiar the things you think

107
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:16.399
<v Speaker 1>but don't do, the words he can't say. He leans

108
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:19.959
<v Speaker 1>into stereotypes that have cracked up drunken club crowds for generations.

109
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:22.879
<v Speaker 1>When he discovers a genetic test that he has some

110
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:25.920
<v Speaker 1>African ancestry. You know, a joke about penis sizes on

111
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>its Why I wrote that in the Facebook comments? So

112
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:30.120
<v Speaker 1>that was one of the jokes you could see coming.

113
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:33.360
<v Speaker 1>It was borderline hackey. Not only will nothing he say

114
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:35.439
<v Speaker 1>here get him in real trouble, but it bonds him

115
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:38.000
<v Speaker 1>to his audience, who are told repeatedly that critics are

116
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:41.199
<v Speaker 1>humorless and the media is unfair, deceptive and weird. While

117
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:44.160
<v Speaker 1>his stand up here is cliche, his podcast is not.

118
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:47.319
<v Speaker 1>Rogan has interested in ideas on his podcast, whereas in

119
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:50.560
<v Speaker 1>his new special he prefers playing dumb good stuff. That's

120
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Jason Zennemann. In The New York Times seven Days Vermont

121
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:57.680
<v Speaker 1>spoke to Ariel Elias. Any article about Ariel has to

122
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.519
<v Speaker 1>mention the shot scene round the internet. Her set at

123
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.399
<v Speaker 1>a New Jersey comedy club, Uncle Vinnie's in twenty twenty two,

124
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:06.040
<v Speaker 1>she incurred the wrath of a Donald Trump supporter. A

125
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:09.560
<v Speaker 1>woman can be heard heckling Elias in the video yeeling out.

126
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:11.560
<v Speaker 1>I could tell by your jokes he voted for Biden.

127
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:14.439
<v Speaker 1>Elias fire's back. I can tell by the fact that

128
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:16.240
<v Speaker 1>you're still talking when no one wants you to, that

129
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:18.920
<v Speaker 1>you voted for Trump. A few seconds later, the heckler's

130
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:22.000
<v Speaker 1>husband hurled a nearly full can of beer at the

131
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:25.519
<v Speaker 1>comedian Harryel says, look, I'd much rather have gone viral

132
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:28.040
<v Speaker 1>for a well crafted joke than having a beer thrown

133
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:30.160
<v Speaker 1>at me. I don't do a ton of political comedy,

134
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:31.720
<v Speaker 1>so I think it may have given people a different

135
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:33.160
<v Speaker 1>idea the kind of comic I am. But at the

136
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:34.959
<v Speaker 1>end of the day, the goal is to have eyes

137
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:37.360
<v Speaker 1>on you, gain followers, and sell tickets, so I'm grateful,

138
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:40.600
<v Speaker 1>even if it was vaguely traumatic. She was recording a

139
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:43.879
<v Speaker 1>new set in Burlington, Vermont, and says, after the crowd

140
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:46.360
<v Speaker 1>strikes stuff, I might choose all my taping locations based

141
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:48.279
<v Speaker 1>on whether or not I can drive to the venue.

142
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:50.120
<v Speaker 1>It's my first special, so I'm not sure what the

143
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:52.160
<v Speaker 1>process is supposed to be like, but I'm pretty sure

144
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:54.240
<v Speaker 1>what comes next is an editing process where I stare

145
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:55.920
<v Speaker 1>at myself and try not to critique my voice and

146
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.319
<v Speaker 1>my whole body endlessly, then start to beg everyone I

147
00:06:58.319 --> 00:06:59.879
<v Speaker 1>know with a podcast to have me on a promoter,

148
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:02.480
<v Speaker 1>followed by asking my manager a thousand times a day

149
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:05.600
<v Speaker 1>what I'm doing wrong. She plans to shop these special

150
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:08.079
<v Speaker 1>to streaming services and networks. If that doesn't work, she'll

151
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:10.519
<v Speaker 1>upload it to YouTube, but says there's no doubt that

152
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:14.279
<v Speaker 1>the market is crazy oversaturated. Now that's an understatement, having

153
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:16.040
<v Speaker 1>a specialist in the big thing it used to be.

154
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:18.480
<v Speaker 1>You're not looking for it to change your life as

155
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:21.839
<v Speaker 1>a comedian. And here's another naughty section. You're not still

156
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:24.319
<v Speaker 1>listening with the kids, are you? Are you watching the Olympics?

157
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:26.319
<v Speaker 1>Did you see the French pole vaulter? Did you see

158
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:28.199
<v Speaker 1>what happened here? In case you missed it, there was

159
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:30.560
<v Speaker 1>a French pole vaulter and he's going over the pole

160
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:33.279
<v Speaker 1>and then, uh, you know what knocked the pole over

161
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:37.000
<v Speaker 1>his penis. Yes, this is the thing that happened. Watch

162
00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:40.639
<v Speaker 1>the clip on the internet. God admit it's pretty funny.

163
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Sorry olympian who trained all that, But you probably suddenly

164
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:46.680
<v Speaker 1>have a lot more fans on social media than you

165
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:48.560
<v Speaker 1>would have had you won the gold. You know what

166
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:52.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. Nudge nudge. Some of the headlines covering this,

167
00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:55.839
<v Speaker 1>The Daily Beast went with Olympic pole vaulter loses thanks

168

172

173
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.079
<v Speaker 1>to listen to you other than this, of course, Patton

174
00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:16.519
<v Speaker 1>Oswald is the guest on Neil Brennan's Blocks. I enjoyed

175
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:19.560
<v Speaker 1>that a lot, Mark Marin dusted Off and Bob Newhart

176
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:22.160
<v Speaker 1>interview that I thought was really interesting, And at one

177
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.600
<v Speaker 1>point during it I forgot that Bob passed away. Bob

178
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:26.240
<v Speaker 1>was talking about doing some more acting. I was like, oh,

179
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:28.480
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to see. Oh, that's right, that's not gonna happen.

180
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Pretty good, not bad. Written by and starring Ellen Soland.

181
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:35.639
<v Speaker 1>Going to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival previews at The Tank

182
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.080
<v Speaker 1>in New York City tonight and tomorrow, and from Missing

183
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.399
<v Speaker 1>Perspectives the next wave of Australian female comedians Across the Pond.

184
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:46.639
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know you could cross the pond from Australia

185
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:49.559
<v Speaker 1>to London. Thinking of the world map, there isn't that

186
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:52.240
<v Speaker 1>two ponds? No, I guess not. I guess you could

187
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:55.840
<v Speaker 1>fly up to Asia and stay landlined. Maybe that's one

188
00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:58.720
<v Speaker 1>pond I've just I don't know. I usually associate that

189
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:02.360
<v Speaker 1>phrase with the Atlantic Ocean, and I digress some of

190
00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:06.480
<v Speaker 1>The up and coming comedians are Shaiera Gaglanie, Freddy Arthur,

191
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:09.240
<v Speaker 1>and Laura Rose. What got them in a comedy in

192
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:11.399
<v Speaker 1>the first place, Freddy said, I was very lonely, so

193
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:13.519
<v Speaker 1>I started going on dates. People always telling me I

194
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:15.120
<v Speaker 1>was funny. But this one guy kept telling me I

195
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:17.600
<v Speaker 1>should actually be a comedian. I'd grown up hearing that

196
00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:19.639
<v Speaker 1>women aren't funny, so I didn't even consider it. But

197
00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:21.480
<v Speaker 1>then he took me on a surprise date to a

198
00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:23.600
<v Speaker 1>comedy show, and I remember thinking, yeah, maybe I could

199
00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:26.360
<v Speaker 1>do this. We didn't see each other for long because

200
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:28.320
<v Speaker 1>he ended up sleeping with four other people and then

201
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:29.799
<v Speaker 1>realizing he was still in love with a woman he

202
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:32.080
<v Speaker 1>hadn't seen in ten years. But I kept going to

203
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:34.559
<v Speaker 1>stand up comedy because most up in my nights are

204
00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:37.480
<v Speaker 1>free and I was still very poor, Shaierra said. Growing up,

205
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:39.200
<v Speaker 1>I realized that making people laugh was the best way

206
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:41.200
<v Speaker 1>to avoid getting grounded. But to be honest, the turning

207
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.799
<v Speaker 1>point kind of came when a white male comic mistook

208
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:46.360
<v Speaker 1>me for another woman on the Brown women comedy lineup.

209
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:49.399
<v Speaker 1>I'd never done comedy before that, so I went to

210
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:51.799
<v Speaker 1>watch the show. Turns out, nobody really looked like me,

211
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:54.600
<v Speaker 1>but I did end up writing a short stet, doing

212
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:56.399
<v Speaker 1>as many open mics as I could find. Eventually I

213
00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:58.399
<v Speaker 1>ended up in the lineup for Brown Women Comedy and

214
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:01.240
<v Speaker 1>now we're bringing it to Edinburgh. Laura Rose said. It

215
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:03.960
<v Speaker 1>took a worldwide pandemic and me turning thirty to look

216
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:06.080
<v Speaker 1>back and realize it wasn't getting any younger. I always

217
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:07.799
<v Speaker 1>had a career to fall back on, a loving husband,

218
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:10.200
<v Speaker 1>and well with age, I started to stop caring what

219
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:12.679
<v Speaker 1>people thought, so I thought. Fit Shier said. When I

220
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:16.000
<v Speaker 1>first started, the comedy scene was like a boy's locker room, smellyon,

221
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:18.879
<v Speaker 1>full of bad jokes. But things are changing. Female comedians

222
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:21.279
<v Speaker 1>are finally getting the recognition they deserve. It's no longer

223
00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:23.600
<v Speaker 1>just about being funny for a woman. It's about being

224
00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:25.480
<v Speaker 1>funny period. But yeah, there's still a way to go.

225
00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:29.320
<v Speaker 1>The Edinburgh Fringe continues until August twenty sixth. Then that

226
00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:31.679
<v Speaker 1>is your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program,

227
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:33.759
<v Speaker 1>tell a friend about it they might like it too.

228
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:36.000

229
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:37.960
