@mclaincausey do you watch that show because he’s almost as grumpy as you?
-
Haha yes I do @Matt
It’s interesting that he’s a prodigious asshole but also in his odd way really cares about people. Decent show, I give it a B+ so far.

Loved Taylor Tomlinson's newest special on Netflix. She's been so consistent over the last three shows, building on the onstage persona she's created and refining her craft.
Happy to see her getting the recognition she deserves by the mainstream with her taking over from James Corden on one of those late night shows

@T4920 I’ve been a huge fan of hers and I only lasted about 6 minutes before I turned it off. Said to my wife that I felt like she’d become a second rate Whitney Cummings. It felt to me like she was rushing through her material. Thought the laughter sounded canned. Should I give it more time? I was also excited about the TV show and thought that was terrible as well.

I don't really watch (regular) television so haven't seen her show, but I enjoyed this special just as much as any of her others. Always found her very relatable, and grounded by the way she address her own personal issues as part of her act. This shines through more in second half of this special for me personally..
Don't see any parallels with Whitney. Although thinking back (watched it a few days ago), this could've been the faux confidence she was portraying in light of her recent successes, whilst setting up for the premise of the show, that being her apprehension about not being able to 'have it all' (family, friendships, sound mental health) as her career really starts to take off.
I'd give it a little more time to see if it clicks, but that just me though

@T4920 I just felt like her timing/cadence was really off. I'll definitely try it again,as I agree with what you've said about her. During the pandemic I'm pretty sure that she toured with Whitney,who did a special on Only Fans TV, when she was pregnant, that I thought was absolutely brilliant. It's free,you just have to get the app.

@Jett129 I'll check it out sometime. Generally, I really like Whitney too.
On the subject of comedy, big comedy festival in my city at the moment..
I was caught off guard at a show last night when the young, female comedian dropped the darkest (and most unexpected) joke I've heard in years... Burst out laughing, but NOBODY else in the venue made a sound, people were looking over their shoulders at me in disgust
She gave me a subtle look/smile a few seconds later, almost as if to say 'thank you for laughing, obviously I wasn't serious...'
I won't repeat the joke here, but if you like this post I'll DM it to you
still on the dogs's side, though 🫣
