Thank you.
appreciate it!
all of that information is pertinent. he is a retired factory worker with a little bit of money and bought into a comedy club business... it is probably time to leave, not out of protest from the comedy side, but because i doubt the business will thrive. i also bet the main owner(the one you say yourself you should be mad at) knows this guy is not qualified as comic or manager, but he was an "investor" at a time when people are not investing... inadvertent leg up for the hack, but a horrible business plan.
on the plus side, comedy club is a niche industry encompassing a lot of the service industry as a whole. with your experience there you should be able to build a nice resume and find work.
also, pregnancy factors huge into this. i apologize if i offended you. there is a lot to stress about when you are bringing a child into this world. if my livelihood and the livelihood of my unborn child was contingent upon some retired asshole with a a newfound hobby doing rogaine jokes from 1986 i would be freaking out as well. i see now what you want us to see in that video. you don't see a source of income. you see the end of the last 11 years of your life as you are about to become a mother. heavy stuff.
if you really think the ax is coming I would let this guy let you go rather than leave yourself. as darryl said, come in and take a paycheck until otherwise. i think the best thing to do is invest your time in finding other employment and refining your resume.
that was fucking terrible. not even bad funny. just bad and uncomfortable and bad.
At least he doesn't have a crutch-like transitional word that he uses whenever one of his jokes bombs.
ANYWAY....
Hey, check me out. I'm a ghost.
Doesn't having a baby prevent you from quitting a job?
good question. seems like the situation has more variables than an advanced mathematics problem...boom! calculus joke.
Remember: You can still raise your baby on good comedy thanks to the magic of the internets/DVDs/DCs
I agree this guy sucks but I got a kick out of some of his transitions/awkward defense mechanisms ("Nobody goes to the bathroom here?" "No...it's ok" "Well...let's just move on").
Sorry I can't keep it to myself, I know who it is....
Spoiler:
Shimmy - Start your own club. Bring everyone with you. Now's the perfect time. Pull a Jerry McGuire at the club one evening. Seriously. You have 11 years in the business, you're the ideal candidate to be a manager. Rename yourself Mitzi.
oh, and one of the perks of working at a club/agency... the filecabinets ..
this ones for you, Phil

Well I made it to 5:18 before quitting.
Edit: also, he says the name of the club, so I don't think you're being very wise about this if there is even the slightest notion toward staying.
