It’s so fun. And has a high risk of being bad and uncomfortable. Which makes the highs that much more relieving and funny.

🎤People may tell you seeing local improv and standup is cheugy but let me tell you when it’s good it’s really invigorating. Especially when the performers are older it makes you feel more optimistic about aging.

🎤I’ve followed Adam’s work for almost A decade now but was not familiar with his work as a stand up. Watched this over the weekend and it’s a lot of fun! If you’ve listened to his podcast or seen video of him on picket lines, it’s not surprising Adam is great at the performance of story telling and even just talking. Doubly recommend if you or someone you love has ADHD
Side note - just a general recommendation for the streaming service it’s on, Dropout TV, if you’re a comedy fan!

Your 90% figure is something I use to describe how much art media is basically not good – tv, movies, music, etc. But the particularity of standup as an art form – the bizarre mutual expectation of a specific response (laughter) – means that it can “fail” more obviously. Mediocre music can be shrugged off, and pretty easily tolerated by most; it doesn’t come with the same expectations. But when someone’s jokes don't land, it immediately lays bare a devastating rift between performer and audience.
Most people just want to laugh, though, and they’re ok with laughing at anything that purports to be funny. You make a joke about the difference between men and women, I laugh, everyone goes home happy. So there’s a lot of trash that ends up getting elevated because it’s “good” enough to fulfill this social contract for enough people.
But there’s always good stuff out there!
I’ll 4th Chris Fleming and throw in Conner O’Malleys recent special. Sorry but they both yell, lol. If you want a very different, bizarre, highly personal, often uncomfortable, avant-garde, and of course, funny rec: Natalie Palamides’s Nate: A One Man Show which was out on Netflix a few years ago.

🌳Those anti-bush TikTok ads make me feel deeply offended…. Like who do you think you’re talking to.
Everything got better for me when I stop shaving my body hair.
