I just watched the PFT episode, it was amazing. I was bumming out about the boring repetitive shticks that go with standing infront of strangers and trying to make them laugh , and the first few comics didn't help appease my ennui . "HEY, I'm from somewhere and it's different, and here's something else!". Paul enters the stage and owns it and you can't sense one fake or contrived thing in his entire performance, it makes sense that he's standing there telling us these stories. I liked that he decided to keep the Deadwood reference.
I also liked Greg, I just wish he'd try and break away from all these club comedian vices and ticks, he's much funnier when he's looser on his podcasts. Also that guy will latch on a joke that doesn't quite work and ride the fucker for three years before dropping it. But that's part of his charm, at least to me.
The second season of this is taping soon in New York; you can sign up for tickets here. Records Friday, Saturday & Sunday, January 14-16 at NYU's Jack H. Skirball Center for the Performing Arts. Lineups are apparently still being finalized, but so far, Greg Behrendt, Pete Holmes and Maria Bamford have been announced as headliners.
Here's hoping Daniel Kitson swings by as he's best buds with John Oliver and in NY for a month of storytelling shows.
they just announced more comics
Al Madrigal, Brendon Walsh, Kyle Kinane, Anthony Jeselnik, Marina Franklin, Jen Kirkman, Deon Cole, Mike Lawrence, Kumail Nanjiani, Rory Albanese, Glenn Wool, Moshe Kasher, Rory Scovel plus more tbd...

I got tickets for Friday
saturday night
oh dave
How was the Friday show?
anybody?
oh dave
It was good. I think Mike Lawrence had the set of the night. He killed. Both Behrendt and Kirk Fox had to do reshoots, which were a little awkward. And them filming two shows in one night made it a little long. I started zoning out a bit about halfway through the 2nd show.
The lineup:
1st Show:
Brendan Walsh
Marina Franklin
Mike Lawrence
Greg Behrendt
2nd Show:
Kumail Nanjiani
Glenn Wool
Brendan Walsh
Kirk Fox
Well for anyone wondering who was on the second show:
Kyle Kinane
Jen Kirkman
Kumail Nanjiani
Al Madrigal
Rory Scovel
Kyle Kinane
Glenn Wool
Pete Holmes
Went to the Saturday show. Pete Holmes and Kyle Kinane were great, even though I had heard a lot of Kyle set on a Nerdist episode a few days earlier. His Cheddar Bay Biscuit bit could become the stuff of legends like Patton's KFC Bowl or Gaffigan's Hot Pocket.
oh dave
Friday was fun, everybody did well, Brendon Walsh, Kumail Nanjiani and Greg Behrendt were the highlights for me
I had heard Hannibal was returning for the second season. I guess that didn't happen. At least there are plenty of other places to see him!
