He's only going to be as good as the sh$t show on the ice in front of him, and we all know what that looks like. Not worried about this year. But... wasn't Northeastern a mediocre program and Levi put them in the national rankings? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 499 comedy clubs in the US, they have seen a 1% year over year decline the last 5 years, and they have a projected market size of $330M in 2023. Source below (albeit not to APA standards). It’s almost like a decisive narrative was introduce into the public discourse for the benefit of a few and somehow has made its way to a non-playoff teams message board as a pithy comment while the user is unaware their acceptance of that narrative continues to perpetuate it to no benefit of their own.

He's been quite outspoken about it. Pretty sure you could find several interviews with him with a quick search. (He can state his position far more eloquently and accurately than we could.)

These types of gigs have always had restrictions. This is not a new phenomenon. Personally I think this is a good sign. It’s good that comedians no longer have to play corporate and college gigs because they have other avenues for cash, namely podcasts. Today, a comedian that doesn’t take a college gig indicates one of two things to me: 1) they don’t need the money 2) they aren’t creative enough or bold enough to perform their act in an “unfriendly” space. And if #2 is the reason their act probably isn’t that great in the first place… Sorry to sidetrack the thread. Shalom Levi! Go Sabres! Edit: I created a new thread aboot comedy.

Not sure how to move these posts over there though… None of them have cited those reasons for refusing invitations. And I don’t think any of them have a problem with being creative, either, as non-creative satirists tend not to get gigs in any venue, let alone college campuses. College venues have long been the bastion for cutting edge satire. The greats like Mort Sahl, Dick Gregory, and others were highly sought after and they helped establish colleges as an audience eager to hear them. They were long considered a proving ground for their material. But something has definitely changed in the last 10-15 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
