Thanks to Facebook we’re reconnected with a college acquaintance who is now a professional stand up comic. I’ve known people personally in pretty much every entertainment field, except for comedy, so talking to him has been enlightening.
Aaaand… How are you not going to share some gems into the rock and roll world of standup comedy after bringing that up?
Well, he really hasn’t given me any killer anecdotes. I kind of already knew this, but I didn’t know how much popular comedians pay other comedians for jokes. I also learned the power of morning DJs. Pat is a regular on Bob & Tom (Viewless Movie Reviews I think) and those guys have helped his career tremendously. I know David Cross loathes them, but if you are in this profession you got to do the morning show.
I also asked him who is the hottest comedian that others are looking up to right now, and he said hands down Louis CK. He is a comedian’s comedian.
Pat was hysterical in college and can only imagine him getting better with age. Maybe we can get him to do a gig down here.
