Joel Radio #211: Kung Fu Fighting
Jan 25th
A crazy fight between a comic an an audience member was all over the news this week. On this show reminisces about the near-fights and audience flare-ups he’s been a part of in his comedy career. This includes a giant Asian man jumping on a bar, and actually being spit on by a lady (maybe “lady” is more appropriate). He’s joined this week by veteran funnyman Kevin Kramis who shares what he’s seen, and the guys why these things happen at clubs and how, as a comedian, to avoid them. Corey Hall phones the show to talk about how he had to become “security” one night recently with a drunken lady at the Comedy Castle – no mike stands, stools, or furry middle-aged comics got hurt in that one. Also, Joel attempts storytelling to a live audience with mixed results. Find out his approach, and why a comedian must fight his own instincts to thing he’s being successful in that format. Plus, The Oscar nominations come out and Joel discusses the nominees, the snubs and tells good movies to see like The Florida Project, Columbus, and Lady Bird – you can skip Call Me Be Your Name. On the TV front, Crashing returns to HBO, Star Wars toys on Netflix and neither Kevin nor Joel has much interest in the NFL anymore.

Also, Corey on the new MST3K, Marvel and Walking Dead have worn out their welcome, Joel takes another look at Rogue One, The Handmaid’s Tale on Hulu is OK, but you’ve seen that before, and HBO’s Crashing nails the comedy stuff but misses with everything else.
