😂 Far Too Funny List
📺 Watching - On my flight back from Mexico last week I loaded up on the iPad Jim Jefferies’ 2018 Netflix special: This Is Me Now. It had me in hysterics. While everyone else was trying to rest, I was hee-hawing on the flight. His bit about doing a corporate event featuring many A-list celebrities, had many people staring at me as I laughed out loud!
🎧 Listening - As many of you know, I’m a huge WWE fan! I often listen to a podcast by wrestling legend Chris Jericho called Talk is Jericho. For years, Chris has invited Guns and Roses bassist Duff McKagan to give his joke of the week. But I’m mentioning this today because I’ve just listened to his interview with Nic Nemeth. Known to many as former WWE Superstar Dolph Ziggler, Nic also performs stand-up comedy. And he’s gone through many of the trials and tribulations all comedians starting out go through. It’s also interesting to hear the parallels between wrestling and comedy.
📕 Reading - Matt Ruby has one of the best pages on Substack and has a great list of examples of the all-time great longer sets.
