HOT JEW BROAD MAKES IT BIG IN STAND-UP. (FILM AT ELEVEN)

I have to say Rachel Feinstein really should be a major fucking huge star. I mean, don’t get me wrong, she’s doing great, but in another time, she’d have a ‘That Girll’  or a ‘Rhoda’ like sitcom and be headlining theaters and maybe even arenas. I’ve never met her, but she’s truly one of my favorite comics. She and Yamaneika Saunders, Rosebud Baker, Jessica Kirson and, a few others are part of a wave and a generation of comics that are just gut funny and it has nothing to do with the fact that they’re women other than it’s what they joke about. They have all of the firepower, brass, sass, and oddity of the mind of the best male comics working.

Rachel is such a solid performer. A great joke writer, a great character comic, and mimic. She’s also sexy as hell. She got that thing that Rosebud and Whitney Cummings have which is supposed to be a rule breaker in that she’s great looking. You’re not supposed to be really good looking to be a comic. Rachel, and Rosebud, and a few other women working have basically shit all over that rule. I’ve compared Rosebud to Michael Keaton in the past, in terms of her instant likeability, and handsome charm, but Rachel, to me, feels like a throwback to the notes Marlo Thomas played in her heyday. I know it sounds sexist as hell to say this, but a great looking woman is truly fighting an uphill battle to be funny in a lot of men’s eyes. You’re looking and thinking about anything but the jokes you’re supposed to be listening to. Yet, a great comic is a great comic and once you settle into the fact that she’s got the chops, the looks are just an add-on.  Like something a car dealer is going to throw in for “an amazing” price when you go back into the office and close the sale.

I think, besides the jokes, her best asset though is her characters and voice work.

Watch the small sketch/ short on this Instagram post. It’s right after she does one stand-up joke, but then it cuts to a piece where she plays an older woman having a relationship with a guy in prison. It’s a lot of fun. (With @dansoder playing the convict.)

Rachel would be great on Saturday Night Live. I’m not sure if that’s something she’d want to do, but if Lorne Michaels were on his game, (which he hasn’t really proven to be for awhile now.) she’d have been a cast member awhile ago.

I love this piece. A PSA she does for women. “How to get a fella.’

Born in Bethesda, Maryland, Rachel grew up in a traditional Jewish household. It wasn’t until the family moved to New York when Rachel was seventeen that she was able to begin to practice her comedy. She appeared in Comedy Central’s Samurai Love Gods, a made-for-mobile production, was on her friend Amy Schumer’s sketch show, in an Amazon series and did a couple of her own Comedy Central specials. 

It took a few more years and flops before Rachel finally got her big break. Last Comic Ctanding had been a favorite of stand-up comedy lovers. The ability to watch new talent fight for their comedic chance on stage in a survivor-type-like show merged what many loved about reality TV and stand-up comedy. Having launched the careers of Alonzo Bodden, John Heffron, Josh Blue, and Iliza Shlesinger. Audiences finally got a chance to watch Rachel grow as an artist and a stand-up comedian. 

One of the most notable bits that Rachel performs involves stories based on intimate personal experiences, dick pics, and sending nudes to the wrong number. She regales the audience with the story of sending an intimate picture to the wrong number and then having her best friend also send a picture to the same wrong number. She wonders what it would be like to be on the receiving end of those pictures and what she would think.  

Rachel ‘s a force to be reckoned with. She is no holds barred, filthy, and knows it. She embraces her down-to-earth weirdness and runs with it. How else can a young white, Jewish girl from New York suddenly sound like a 250lb thug from the streets named Trey.

   

I also relate to her a lot. Maybe it’s the Jew thing, maybe it’s because she started really young and so did I, but even more than that to me she’s a perfect example of what I love in a comic. Someone with a whole set of tools in their bag, that’s spent a long time working it, and just comes off like such a craftsman. Like I said earlier, she does seem to be a little out of her time, and in fact in another era, Amy Schumer would have been known as her friend, but she’s also perfect for this time as well. Her Youtube pieces and her Instagram bites are a great way to showcase all of her tricks and tools. A road Marlo Thomas or Valerie Harper never had.

Do yourself a favor and go see her live when she comes to your town. I’m going to as soon as I get a chance. In the meantime watch these links here, and enjoy her work.

I’ve spent almost the last week playing the Top Secret Comedy Club on Drury Lane in Covent Garden. It’s hands down the hottest comedy club in London. With a wild spark plug Punk rock beer spewn air to it, it’s a jam packed jungle of laughter that almost seems to shake side to side when the rooms are hit with the thrilling and throaty waves of uproarious laughter.

I went to the club the first time on the first of September when I arrived from Los Angeles. I was part of a contingent that met up there with Chris Rock and Dave Chapelle and Jeff Ross that descended on the place. Dave and Chris were jumping up onstage and it truly was like watching a nuclear fission go off the crowd was so excited to see them. I really don’t think that part of London had seen something that exciting in years. I sensed even Chris was shocked at how crazy the crowd was going. After finally getting them to settle down, he just calmly told them. ‘Please, try to manage your expectations.’

There’s two rooms at the Top Secret. The upstairs room which probably seats 150 and the downstairs room which I’d guess is a 250 seater. They’re both always sold out, and the downstairs room is the best room / non-safe space for comedy in London. It’s raucous and racy, with a young audience downing pitchers of beer and cheering on all the anti-woke jokes the world has to offer.

A PUNK CLUB

It does feel like a punk club. A punk club meets what you kind of feel the energy was like at the Cavern Club in Liverpool when the Beatles played there.

The club first opened in 2010 in a Community centre – one night a week – Friday – the owner, Mark Rothman,  a street performer at the time, was doing street shows in covent garden at the time juggling chainsaws, and he would do an a extra bit in his wrap up for money speech telling them about his new club and gave out flyers after the show to get people in.  It built from there and has become a true staple on the stand-up scene in London and I suspect all of England.

CELEB DROP IN’S

The Chappelle- Rock drop in was not that out of the ordinary either. Like the Original Comedy Store in Los Angeles, in the early days, and now, anyone and everyone drops into the Top Secret to work out new material. Pretty much the top names in Stand-up. Amy Schumer, Trevor Noah, John Bishop, etc. This week as I’ve been there, Paul Chowdhry has been jumping up to do guest sets and the crowds have been going pretty nuts for him as well.

MARK ROTHMAN

As I said, the club is the brainchild of the owner Mark Rothman who’s himself a damn great stand-up and former street performer. The hardest working little fucker I’ve ever seen in a Comedy Club or maybe even in comedy. He puts on upwards of twenty shows a week, goes on stage as emcee, works the door, the til, and just about every other job in the place. The vibe and vigor of the Top Secret is a direct result of Rothman’s energy. He’s a gift bag of all the tools of the great Comedy Club owners from Mitzi Shore to Dan Ward, Budd Friedman, and the Detroit Comedy Castle’s Mark Ridley. He loves comedy and he loves comedians. He’s a unique presence, and the heart, soul, and the DNA of the Top Secret. (He also pays his comics well, which I give him kudos for.)

 

VISIT THE TOP SECRET

If you’re in London, or visiting, you owe it to yourself to go and catch a show at The Top Secret.

Here’s their website to get tickets. Get them in advance. As I said, every single show sells out.

Tim Dillon spends a portion of his new Netflix special deriding people who like to see themselves as heroes. Especially nurses. And, a self-described narcissist, he declares himself in the title to be the “real hero”. He’s not serious, of course — as he sometimes has to point out when the audience isn’t quite sure how to react to one of his jokes. But he might not be entirely wrong. Dillon is a funny fucker. I have a ton of respect for him. He’s a brave dude and I love that about him. (He did give me some shit about my Comedy Store doc, which was fine, but was sad because I was all set to interview him the day before the shut down for the pandemic.) He takes no prisoners though, and stand-up needs that.

YOUNG TIM

Tim was born (January 22, 1985) and raised in Island Park, New York. His childhood there wasn’t exactly standard-issue, and, like a lot of comedians, he has no compunctions about mining it for material. There’s plenty there: tales of his schizophrenic mother and difficult father, his ruined trip to Disney World (guess who was responsible for ruining it), white-trash pig-outs at Pizza Hut, and getting fired from Sesame Street. 

That’s right — a former child actor, his first big break in show biz came at the tender age of 9, dancing the polka with Snuffleupagus! But after only 2 episodes, he was dropped in favor of a younger cast. (Ouch.) He calls himself a “failed” child actor. If it’s any consolation, Tim: I think if you’re on PBS getting down with Snuffy, you’ve made it, big time. He also toured as part of a production of Annie Get Your Gun, playing “Little Jake”.

But by the time he hit his teens, his life had taken a turn for the worse. At just 12 years old, he was doing drugs and hanging out in crack houses. He insists he learned valuable lessons from those experiences — though he wouldn’t necessarily recommend them.

After high school, he tried and dropped out of community college before getting a job selling subprime mortgages. He tells the sad-but-funny truth of how he was dumb enough to sell one to himself, which landed him in major trouble when the 2008 financial crisis hit.

At 25, Tim had an epiphany of sorts and made some big life changes. Within the span of a few months, he quit drinking and doing drugs (he’s been sober ever since), came out as gay to his parents, and started doing stand-up comedy. And that’s where he really hit his stride. 

While he was in NYC building his stand-up career, he also sold copiers from a call center, which no doubt provided him with an extra kick of motivation to succeed in comedy. Another temporary job was giving bus tours of the city. He refused to do the usual spiel, opting to highlight the residences of the rich and famous rather than the Empire State Building. Later he was able to start doing his very own comedic tours of NYC in a double-decker bus. This time around he was at liberty to take whatever route he wanted and say whatever he wanted while doing it. I’d opt for the latter version any day!

In 2016 he was featured as a “new face” at Montreal Comedy Festival; the same year he was named New York’s Funniest at Caroline’s NY Comedy Festival. His success on stage led to a half-hour Comedy Network special and a 15-minute set for The Comedy Lineup on Netflix.

THE TIM DILLON SHOW ON PATREON

Tim is a frequent podcast guest, and also hosts his own, The Tim Dillon Show. (In a previous incarnation it was known as “Tim Dillon is Going to Hell” and co-hosted by Ray Kump.) The show has over 42,000 Patreon subscribers and is one of the platform’s most popular podcasts. Now earning something to the tune of $2.6 million a year on that avenue alone.

On the show, he hilariously rants and rambles about culture, politics, entertainment and whatever else is on his mind. It’s co-produced by Ben Avery (Dillon’s best friend) who also appears on camera as a sort of sidekick. Ben refers to himself as the “laugh track”. He’s the Anderson Cooper to Tim’s Kathy Griffin (pre-breakup), shoulders bobbing up and down as he shakes with uncontrollable giggling.

Sometimes Tim gets serious and uses the show as a forum to express his real opinions on issues he’s clearly well-informed and passionate about. Like a lot of comedians, he’s surprisingly full of wisdom. You almost wish he’d get serious more often. But comedy can be to serious stuff, the ½ cup handful of chocolate chips your mom gave you to chase the teaspoon of Sudafed: the ratio is important, and we all know you can never have too many chocolate chips.

TIM ON ROGAN

Dillon’s a great example of how we’re in the Rogan era of star making in stand-up. I wouldn’t be writing about him right now if Rogan hadn’t had him on. Rogan’s Carson. That’s all there is to it. Rogan’s Carson and Tim got on and killed. A few times. They have great chemistry together. I also think his Rogan shots gave him the confidence he exudes in his own bits on his podcast which I love.

TIM ON NETFLIX

Tim’s latest stand-up special, Tim Dillon: Real Hero, debuted on Netflix this month (August 2022). His no-holds-barred, no topic off-limits style is on full display during his rants as he insults the audience, fellow comedians, his family, himself, and… well, basically everyone. He’s intent on making sure comedy survives wokeism and he’s doing a fine job. The real hero, indeed.

SEE TIM LIVE

Want to see Tim live? If you’re in Toronto or Salt Lake City you’re in luck. He’ll be at the Just For Laughs Festival in Toronto on Friday, September 30th. Next up are three nights at the Wiseguys Comedy Club in Salt Lake City (November 3rd, 4th and 5th).

Christina P.: Gen X Mom-Com Queen

By Abdul Basit Hashmi Standupworld staff writer

Christina Pazsitzky Segura is her full name, but she’s known in the comedy world as ‘Christina P’. Good thing, ‘cause it rolls off the tongue (and the keyboard) way easier. That means you’ve got no excuse not to type it into your search bar right now. If you don’t already know her, you’ll want to, so go ahead and do it. I’ll wait right here for you. (Don’t forget to come back.)

Christina was born on June 18th, 1976 in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Her parents, Hungarian immigrants, moved the family to the U.S. when she was five, and she grew up mostly in Southern California. She’s describs her childhood family life as “wackadoodle”, and talks about some of the tougher aspects: her parents’ divorce, her mother’s struggle with mental illness. Luckily—for her and for her fans—she has the gift of being able to find humor in almost any situation.

Watching Christina’s shows, you get the sense that she probably came out of the womb cracking jokes about the whole process. Her first foray into comedy was in third grade, memorizing and telling Truly Tasteless Jokes from the books of the same name. That’s got to be how she got so comfortable putting a humorous spin on subjects that a lot of comics would rather avoid in today’s climate of “safe spaces” and “trigger warnings”.

‘Black jokes’, ‘Jew jokes’, ‘Gay jokes’: they’re all on the menu. At times, the tension in the audience is so palpable she has to remind them that it’s just comedy, and that they can (and should) relax, laugh, and enjoy it for what it is. In that way, it is a safe space. 

 

Her style? Some fans describe it as “tastefully vulgar”, although some might argue about the “tasteful” part. She never did grow out of bathroom humor, and she’s proud of it. She’s not afraid to do sound effects, show off her “mom bod” (she’s a mother of two boys) or laugh at her own jokes. 

So, how exactly did she end up on stage displaying her muffin top, miming blow jobs and telling episiotomy stories?  Professionally and academically, she was originally headed in a very different direction. She went after and obtained a degree in philosophy from the University of San Francisco in 1999. 

After graduation, she made a short detour to law school, at her mother’s wishes which lasted two weeks before deciding it wasn’t for her. She started towards a graduate degree for philosophy, but left after only one semester. By the time she fully committed to pursuing a career in stand-up, she’d quit or been fired from 22 different jobs and figured at that point, it was comedy or nothing.

As with everything in the entertainment biz, it definitely wasn’t an easy path to success. She stuck it out though, finding it preferable to doing work she hated or just wasn’t good at. She credits her husband (Tom Segura, also a stand-up comic) with helping her through the grind. Christina and Tom met at a club where they were both performing and were friends for years before they finally got together. They were married in 2008—with $200 between them.

While working at MTV in the 90s as a writer and doing voice overs, she appeared on the reality series “Road Rules: Down Under” (she was also in an earlier “Road Rules” while still a university student). Her boss at MTV suggested that she do comedy, so she started out at The Groundlings (an L.A.-based comedy troupe and school). In 2001, she got her first break in stand-up at The Comedy Store in L.A. After that, there was no stopping her. She began appearing on comedy shows including “Red Light Comedy” (Showtime) and “Stand Up in Stilettos” (TV Guide). During the rise of her stand-up career, she was also busy writing for hit shows like “Chelsea Lately” and “Funniest Wins with Marion Wayans”.

She and her husband, Tom, have worked together on a number of projects. He shares her love of grown-up juvenile humor, and their similar styles make them an amazing comedic duo. They wrote and starred in a family comedy pilot for CBS which unfortunately never aired) and their podcast, “Your Mom’s House” is huge. In fact, Christina’s more famous in the podcasting world than she is in the stand-up world. They’ve been co-hosting the fan favorite since 2010; in 2012 it earned them a nomination for “Best Comedy Podcast” in the first Stitcher Awards. With the success of “Your Mom’s House”, the couple were able to launch their own podcast production company, YMH Studios.

On their show, they and their guests talk about a bit of everything: current events, fan-submitted video clips, and, of course, each other. Even when performing solo shows, they are frequently the butt of each other’s jokes—and they can be merciless. Somehow, they can roast each other to charred remains and stay happily married for many years.

In podcasting, Christina even found a use for that dusty philosophy degree—she hosted another show called “That’s Deep, Bro”, which takes the serious and adds a good dose of hilarious. Then there’s “Where My Moms At”, where the topic is all things related to motherhood. You can listen to “Your Mom’s House” and “Where My Moms At” almost anywhere you can find podcasts, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify. “That’s Deep, Bro” is a little harder to track down, but you can find some episodes on YouTube.

Back to the stand-up. She’s got three Netflix specials. They put her in more living rooms than ever before, and they’re the next best thing to attending a live show—you don’t want to miss these. The first, “Christina P. Mother Inferior” —a comedic treatise on motherhood, aging and her own childhood, was released in October 2017 and garnered rave reviews. She followed up with a half-hour special in 2018. (It’s episode #6 of the first season of “The Degenerates”.) Her latest Netflix special, “Mom Genes”, came out in 2022. You can probably get a good idea of the subject matter from the punny title. In addition to mom-hood, mom bodies, and mom pants, she takes a crack at millennials and younger generations from a Gen X perspective.

Still wanting more? Well, with all this going on she’s also managed to produce two one-hour comedy albums: “It’s Hard Being a Person” (2011) and “Man of the Year” (2015). And, of course, she tours, taking her stand-up routines all over the country, 

Her latest tour is underway right now, with dates through the fall. Tickets are available on her website, Christina P. Online.

The distinct impression someone gets from Eddie Pepitone during his stand-up comedy is easily described as a half-crazed yelling and half angry old guy from Brooklyn. Having a specialty in quick, punchy sets, Eddie Pepitone is one you must see to believe. His current podcast and the multitude of online videos available give you a sense of Eddie’s stand-up comedy.

Having grown up in Brooklyn, New York, and being raised by a Sicilian working-class father and a Jewish mother, Eddie walks the line between crass and high-brow comedy. There is no topic too far gone for him. One minute you’re talking about his dad and him waving to boats when he’s on the shoreline; the next, it’s about porn and hookers. There is seemingly no rhyme or reason as to the flow of Eddie’s stand-up comedy shows, and yet he always manages to come full circle by the end of the show.

Swinging moment to moment from flat out shouting his stance to quickly quieting down and changing his tone, the swing is so swift and well timed that you don’t even see it coming. It’s almost like watching two different comics perform. One moment he seems like he’s a 50-something who’s taken Ecstasy before coming onstage the next, he’s ranting about his father, who worked the docks in Brooklyn. To be able to weave together a troubled and unsteady childhood and weave it into a hilarious bit about being shamed by his wife for being a terrible husband, and that’s how he likes it, is not at all easy. Eddie makes it look easy.

Watching Eddie perform is tantamount to witnessing someone come in and out of Alzheimer’s. From the dips and turns from one subject to the next before eventually coming full circle to the original issue, Eddie catches you if you’re not listening. He comes out with things so quickly that you can watch and listen to his performances multiple times and continue to catch missed jokes.

It’s taken years, but Eddie has finally found his footing within the stand-up comedy world. Starting with an appearance in Last Comic Standing in 2003, he has rocketed into every direction imaginable to do with performing and making people laugh. From TV specials, TV shows, and voiced animation to movies, Eddie has been a part of it all, along with the 2012 debut of “Bitter Buddha”. The movie follows Eddie, and while some of the biggest names in comedy appear in the documentary, we’re all left wondering why it’s taken so long for someone as funny as Eddie not to have risen to stardom himself.

 

The release of his brilliant 2020 special “For the masses” had been heralded by New York Times to be the funniest special of that year.

 

Eddie has seemingly done it all and has yet to get a lot of recognition. He’s worked tirelessly since 2003, working on himself, his routine, and his style. Having once been hired as the “angry audience member” on Conan O’Brien, Eddie has been seen a lot in secondary roles. The time has finally come for him to make it big. He’s already been in movies alongside Will Farrell (Old School, 2003) and worked as both himself and character actors.

 

Eddie’s website is www.eddiepepitone.com, where you can buy tickets to his upcoming shows. He also hosts his own weekly podcast, “Apocalypse Soon,” where he speaks with other comedians about all things end of days. You can either listen to the podcast itself or watch the behind-the-scenes video afterward on Eddie’s YouTube channel.

He’s on tour right now. Here’s the spots to see him live which I highly recommend. Go to his website for details.

Jeff Ross is one of my best buddies. I love the guy. You know what that means, right? It means I’ll be dead soon.

Sorry. I had to make that easy, sleazy, joke. Once again, low hanging fruit is still fruit. There are a lot of great jokes to be made at Jeff’s expense, and the great thing is that no one will laugh at them as hard as he will. Jeff Ross loves to laugh. He also loves to make people laugh. He’s also got a big giant heart. He’s so much more than ‘the Roastmaster’, which don’t get me wrong is good work if you can get it, but he’s growing beyond that into one of the best stand-ups working in the business today. His act is so strong, so loose and yet so polished. He’s a veteran with a lot of decades in, and has matured in the way that only the really great comics can mature. Slowly, and often sadly.

As many know he’s had a lot of loss in his life. These last few years he’s lost everything but weight. (Sorry. I don’t know what’s come over me? Forgive me.) Seriously, Jeff has had a lot of loss recently, and actually his whole life. He lost his parents young, he was 14 when his mother died of Leukemia and he was ony 19 when his dad passed. He’s lost a lot of close friends, but he found out early on that he would never really be alone because he had not only a love for the world of comedy, but he was damn good at it. Anyone that knows Jeff knows how much he cherishes show business. How much he adores other comedians, reveres the past, and has a soft spot for the new acts coming up. The way I see it Jeff Ross is the perfect link between the old school comics of his pal Buddy Hackett, and Don Rickles, and the new modern comics like Chappelle, Sara Silverman, Louis C.K., Chris Rock and Jim Carrey. I will also tell you that he’s one guy that all the comics love as well.  All ages. He’s the person in comedy I go to when I need to talk real. I know a lot of people feel that way about him. He just, as I said, has a huge heart. It could be from all the pain and loss he’s had in his life, or he could just be a damn good Jew. Who knows? The way he treats new guys he meets is so interesting. I have to think he’s passing on the way these old fuckers treated him.

So yeah, Jeff’s standup has grown a lot as a result of the last few years and the audience reaps the rewards. Not only has his material matured, so has his whole act. He really is so much more than ‘The Roasmaster.’  Don’t get me wrong he still brings up a gaggle of volunteers from the audience most nights and does a segment he calls ‘speed roasting’ that’s not only hilarious, but stupefying to watch wondering how he does it. How his mind moves that quick? It’s truly so wild, and fabulously fluid some nights you wonder if any of the audience volunteers are ‘plants’, but they’re not. He’s just that damn fast.

Yet there are long stretches of the act, that have some really deep and measured routines. His piece on his dog sticks out to me, and as far as just jerk-back laughter funny he does an 8-10 minutes on the Queen of England, that is a world class bit, intended to be funny as hell, offensive, and at the same time, very loving.

His other act identity, which I enjoy so much is as part of Bumping Mics. It’s truly my number one most favorite thing to watch in stand-up right now. He and Dave Attell are Abbott and Costello on really good weed. Lots of weed. Maye some mushrooms as well. It’s a classic comedy routine. I refer to it as Comedy-Jazz. You can see three great episodes of them doing it on their titular Netflix series ‘Bumbing Mics’,  but if you ever have the chance to see them live you have to go, no questions asked. I go just to get my reps of hard laughter in whenever I can. Nothing makes me laugh harder than these two guys together. There’s an energy there that makes me so happy.

Jeff is currently touring the country. Sometimes by himself, sometimes with Dave Atell, and often with Dave Chappelle. Treat yourself to seeing him live. He’s a legend. He’s our Rickles or Hackett, or, better yet, he’s our Jeff Ross.
