#521 The Death of Stand Up Comedy Clubs, and Rethinking our Givens



After being purged from comedy clubs, outside of the horrible Netflix special, I rarely get to see the current state of comedy in America. Judging by the pathological reaction establishment comedians have had toward my obvious observations, I assumed it wasn’t going well. But it’s way worse than I could have imagined. Let’s watch a clip someone sent me yesterday of what comedy is now, and then let’s rethink many of the givens we had five years ago that may no longer be true.
