a list of people and their douchebaggery
Lately I want to quit standup almost every day. It’s not performing itself that is driving me crazy. I think it’s New York. I have a lot of (don’t say irons in the fire!!!) things going on. Maybe my problems have two prongs like a kangaroo (look it up). Prong 1: I seem to get overwhelmed with unstructured time. Prong 2: people are generally awful.

There
are so many things that suck about New York that I won’t even mention the constant
smell of urine and halal. I moved here going on four years ago. My first set of roommates were great. One was
an editor and the other made puppets.<---- sure they drank beer and whatever
but they were nice guys. My second apartment in the beginning was awesome. I lived with two sane women. That was the last time I would be able to say that because after those two moved out, my living situation that followed had been comprised of reptilian dwelling PMS ridden floozies. I was so distraught mainly because the first set were so great. That's what delineates everything else as so abhorrent. The first two I clicked with. I moved in and we all got along beautifully. There were no petty quibbles or trivial
objections about towels or who put what where.
I like to think that I am pretty easy going. I never would comment about other people’s
furniture particularly after having moved in last. I would never break balls about an antique or
a table. You know who does that? Bitches
with no furniture. <----- I wrote about this particular topic having
coined a new pseudonym for this specific roommate of “pterodactyl.” The two amazing roommates ? one went to Houston to get married
and the other moved in with her Bulgarian boyfriend in a different part of
Astoria. Sadly, they were replaced by juvenile
water dragons with perpetual PMS.
The
Eastern European wears skin tight jeans with whore boots. There must be a rodeo in town (I don’t
believe Queens, New York hosts such types of activities but I suppose one never
knows). The other one is a textbook
narcissist with an enormous rear end. I
must have been like a serial killer in a past life to have been given such a treacherous
plight. You can read about them in more detail here.
While roommate drama is threatening my very sanity, I did a show for a theatre in
Massachusetts. I don’t want to name
names but I’ll say it something Center for the Arts. It was in Natick. After the show, the headliner and I were
standing at the doorway greeting the audience as they were slowly filing
out. People commented how much they
liked the show. A friend of the
headliner came over. They greeted each other
with a hug and then the friend proclaimed, “I was waiting for you to do that
bit about the underwear.” The female comedian replied “well there was enough filth that went on before me
that I left it out,” implying that the other comedians, which - I was the only
one standing there at the time, did too much dirty material for her to then
follow with some stupid bit about underwear.

ReplyDeleteWow, just...wow. What kind of fat, insecure, self-loathing (insert c-word here) does shit like that in front of the other talent's face?! You should name shame.
