One-Trick Ponies

October 15, 2017

I don’t normally go to comedy clubs, because most of the jokes are about sex. (Like nothing else funny EVER happens that the comedians could use for material.)

But last night I was suckered, because the comedy skits were being held at a restaurant where elderly women go to meet their friends for quiche; so I thought, “How bad can it be?”

Answer: Pretty bad.

Seriously: Now that comedy skits are all sex, all the time…Who has an advantage in the comedy arena? There’s no more shock value to give comedians that edge that they might have once enjoyed. What was edgy in the ’80s is now old hat.

They might have to go back to clean jokes just to stand out from the pack.


And I can’t wait.
