Just thought I'd start a thread on comedians, apologies if one already exists. Thought id kick it off with one of my favourite George Carlin shows. Also a big Bill Hicks fan and will post one of my favourites of him down the track.
Not familiar with Dark.... any relation to Jake?More than happy for more light hearted stuff. I'm just drawn to the dark arts.
I watched a set by Don Rickles recently, he ripped into EVERYONE. Wouldn't get a look in today.rodneys comedys great! Nothing wrong with one liners. I think its unfortunate that comedians are so PC these days. Most of the old comedians ripped on all facets of society. It's just entertainment.

Heres a bit you’re referring to:Heard a story (I think on the Talking Sopranos podcast which is a great podcast if you like the Sopranos) about Don Rickles on the set of Casino, he was cast in the film as himself entertaining at one of the casinos run by Robert DeNiro's character. Apparently he knew that DeNiro had idolised him as a kid so he absolutely ripped into him during takes to put him off, and Deniro did nothing about it.

I heard Scorsese saying Rickles would get stuck into him (MS) in between takes , going from playing the serious Billy to pisstaking Don.
Good luck Jeremy.Bumping this up...
I'm doing a show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival, 17 of them to be precise.
Here is the link if any of you are feeling inclined: https://www.comedyfestival.com.au/2024/shows/no-time-for-games
Playing in Richmond, on Bridge Road, so location is epic and you dont need to go into the CBD.
And if you're thinking "but is he any good?" (fair, and debatable), this article got written about me last year in the lead into a festival in Geelong. https://fortemag.com.au/its-a-comed...igs-jeremy-dooley-brings-no-doubt-to-geelong/
Will post a few recommendations as the festival gets closer too
