STAND-UP COMICS PERFORM IN UKRAINAN BOMB SHELTER
Three Stand-up comics performed for about a hundred citizens in an underground bomb shelter in the Sumy, a regional capital in northern Ukraine, on March 19, according to local media outlet Cukr. The three comics faced a grim crowd but put on a lauded show according to several that were reported to be there. There’s not much to joke about right now in that part of the world but these three somehow managed to make the crowd laugh pretty hard for over an hour and a half. In a country governed by a former comic, I’m sure that alone is a set-up for many jokes.
The news of the show was picked up by top Indian comic Vir Das, who tweeted about the valiant comedians, as did many of the commenters on Reddit.
PETE DAVIDSON’S NOT GOING INTO SPACE
It turns out Pete Davidson’s not going into space after all. After announcing Pete was going up with the crew of the Blue Origin Rocket which was launching this month it now appears it doesn’t fit into Pete’s schedule. After the launch was postponed it got in the way of Pete’s Saturday Night Live schedule. (Or something?) Another theory is that Pete Googled how high ‘space’ is.
Blue Origin says they will be announcing their ‘sixth crew member’ very soon. (Paging Gary Busey…)
*NOTE; In the end, Pete’s seat was given to the architect of the spaceship. Gary Lai.
