Not My Favorite Ep.14: New York Stories

Are you a New Yorker? Did you move here or were you born here? What makes a New Yorker? Well some people have the cajones to say who is and who is not a New Yorker and I counter with some ideas of my own as to what makes a New Yorker. One comic. One mic. One producer who won’t stay quiet. This is a solo podcast about comedy, culture, and the weird position of trying to be a thinking person in a very stupid world. I break down what’s happening inside the comedy scene, what’s happening outside it, and where a working stand-up fits in the middle of all of it. Expect honest takes on stand-up, cultural moments, internet drama, the business of comedy, and whatever else deserves to be roasted that week. Occasionally my off-camera producer jumps in to fact-check, argue, or make things worse. If you like stand-up, behind-the-scenes comedy talk, and a comic trying to figure out where he belongs in the circus, this is for you.

In this episode, I talk with my producer Scott about the state of entertainment in the new age of calling everything fascist and how some people, who extoll the virtues of leftism, are actually doing leftist politics a disservice. Funny stuff!
