The Downside with Gianmarco Soresi
The NYPD almost made Gianmarco miss a spot at at the Comedy Cellar and after complaining about that for a bit, Mohanad Elshieky shares what the police (or lack thereof) are like in Libya, the frustration of having your cartoons interrupted by Gaddafi speeches, living under a government that openly admits listening to your phone calls, helping translate for English-speaking journalists and then being accused of working with the CIA, hearing comedians complain about cancel culture when you’ve literally been shot at for your work, moving from Benghazi to Portland and then applying for political asylum because the government is looking for you, and we end by celebrating the end of pandemic comedy.

Comedian Mike Recine ruthlessly rips into the c*m towel merch I sell after shows and tells me I’ll earn his artistic respect after I burn them all in a fire (dm me if you want to buy one). We also talk about the homemade tomato sauce he used to sell after shows, growing up in New Jersey, having an autistic little brother who’s not so little anymore, the time he helped me move and I killed the U-Haul battery, cooking for your significant other, having your significant other and mother conspire to secretly sell your smoker, how much our semen is worth, and the unbearableness of theater kids when you have a real man’s job.

Kate Willett joins us to talk about the downsides of unicorn hunters, using dating apps as a bi woman, ticket processing fees, Olive Garden, Christian summer camp, asking “What’s it like to be gay?” in early AOL chatrooms, agnostic prayers, stumping for the left and (usually) losing, whether it's necessary to come out as "kinky" to your parents, parents who live separately but stayed married, and the cult tactics of Christian summer camps. My girlfriend also makes a surprise appearance at the end even though we discussed I would be recording until 6.

Our guest, comedian Dana Donnelly, once tweeted that Sweetgreen was too expensive and got a $100 gift card from them but that may have had more to do with her 170,000 Twitter followers.

Russell watched all of Summer House (for the second time) to prepare for our episode with comedian Hannah Berner. We talk about fake laughter, fake orgasms, a corporate gig where I got booed for making a joke about ExxonMobil, how Dave Chappelle is “stuck in the comments”, thinking you’re the Ruth Bader Ginsburg of reality television, the awkwardness of reunion episodes, ego death, being one of the top 250 tennis players in the world for girls 14 and under and then getting the yips, using the bathroom at a Buffalo wings convention, and how pit bulls get a bad rap.

Doug Benson shares the secrets of the Houdini Hole and why it’s vastly superior to the Houdini Museum. We also discuss the scammer that’s targeting stand-up comedians, growing up in San Diego and taking school field trips to Mork & Mindy tapings, not getting bullied in high school because your older brother is on the football team but then he graduates, getting cast as Santa instead of Jesus, smoking pot in hotels, being an extra, a stand-in, a Universal Studios tour guide, and we conclude that the best comedy special would be one where the audience members are allowed to drive over the comedian.
