Alamo is a better experience overall, though. I'd rather premiere at a large theatre that also supports indies.

Some excerpts of his:
“I was walking down the street and I saw a young woman with her breast hanging out, and I said ‘ma’am, your breast is out!’ And she said ‘oh shit I left my baby on the bus!’”
“I got lucky last night yes I did encourages crowd to cheer my roommate got drunk and fell asleep with his mouth open”
“I was having breakfast the other day and I asked the waitress if she knows the difference between a teabag and a tampon, and she said ‘no I don’t’, so I says I’ll have the coffee then”
“I saw a waitress with a tampon behind her ear and I said ‘ma’am you’ve got a tampon behind your ear’, and she says ‘I’ve been wondering where my pencil is’”

I'm fine with risqué comedy. I saw David Koechner (Todd Packer from the office) and he certainly told many similar types of jokes. Even down to the whole "wife annoying" "something something gay people stuff" and a bit of punching down. But I actually found his stuff enjoyable and had a good time even if the topics were the usual.
Yeah, I'll admit it's not my favorite type of comedy, but there's a difference between crass for crass sake, and part of a well thought out comedy routine.
It's totally fine if other people like him; I just didn't find his routine compelling at all, and even found it just unfun to listen too. I've heard other people with similar types of humor and enjoyed their acts. His act just felt out of touch and made the women in our group uncomfortable, and not in a "good comedy is edgy" kind of way.

You guys should read the last part of the article again, they basically spell all this out. Including defining what blue comedy is…. Perhaps risqué comedy is not your style.

I wonder if they're getting around that by doing the "rent a bedroom, shared common space" thing?
Of course, the city cares fuck all what the citizenry actually wants.

That’s cool, it’s just the moxie is like the indie theater for Springfield so it feels more appropriate

It is to my understanding that in the city of Shawnee, Kansas, a similar law was voted in to “protect tenants from exploitative landlords”. As for Springfield, the unrelated tenant cap is news to me as of yesterday. While it’s true that there are zones where this does not apply and therefore cannot be legally enforced, unfortunately there is only a handful of affordable 4BR rentals available and all of the ones that I have specifically searched for on zoning maps are located in R-SF zones. Luckily, you’re right, it doesn’t really seem like the city even acknowledges this law.

Can confirm still no 5G for all of my Verizon devices! Did the usual “troubleshooting” nothing helped! So definitely an infrastructure problem!

Very interesting! Thank you for sharing. God forbid that young people have access to affordable housing, or even just low income individuals, for that matter.

That’s interesting, considering that I’ve heard that Drury does not have sorority houses on campus for the same reason, but we have a handful of fraternity houses.
Thanks for the resources, I have read through them a couple times now, very helpful:)

I did not say he was; I said his humor was. Boomer humor is a type of comedy. I don't mind it if done well.

sometimes I wonder if the Blue Room puts him up there just to set expectations low, that way the audience finds the the headliner funnier

They had him stand next to the stage two weekends ago. I believe it’s because he is having a more difficult time getting on and off the stage

When I did stand-up like a decade ago, he was still doing the "FOUR LEBSIANS GOING TO DIKE, IOWA" jokes and all his other shtick. He also got very mad at me for laughing too loudly when he made jokes. I guess he wasn't used to thay reaction.
