Hello!
It’s been too long!

If you want to perform with us in October, the application form is coming up in this newsletter. But first the list.
😂 Far Too Funny List
📺 Watching - While I obviously recommend Stand-Up Comedy specials on a weekly basis, I must admit I don’t interact with them like I do in a comedy club. I don’t think anyone really does. I might find something funny but I don’t necessarily laugh out loud. But this week’s special had me laughing out loud on many, many occasions during its 75 minutes. It’s Adam Sandler’s latest special ‘Love You’ on Netflix. It feels like you are watching a movie and a stand-up show at the same time. I love his mix of jokes and music and it had me thoroughly entertained. Highly recommend!
🎧 Listening - I’ve recently mentioned specials by Mark Normand and Sam Morril. Well, they also have a podcast together called We Might Be Drunk. So I listened to their episode with Dan Soder and Shane Gillis where they joke about wrestling and the addictiveness of Jack Reacher… I admit I have been hooked…
📕 Reading - That one paragraph about Adam Sandler’s special above doesn’t really do it justice. I, like many, fell in love with his work during the late 1990s with movies like Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy and The Waterboy, then was disenchanted in the 2000s with his movies like Click. But he’s had a renaissance recently with his stellar performance in Uncut Gems. And there’s a great article on Slate that breaks this all down: Adam Sandler's Love You: The Netflix comedy special does something astonishing.
