Selling Out in LA and Young Comics Chasing Fame
from 155 - Death By Chocolate · #155
4 min
Tim mocks the idea that he's 'selling out' by being in LA, riffs graphically about corporate co-optation, and needles young comedians who move to NY/LA dreaming of fame while ignoring local Taco Bells and custard stands.
- Tim on comics who've heard 'yes' all the time and can't handle rejection, versus the traditional comedy business of constant 'no's.
- Young comedians wanting to be mediocre as their own contributions, throwing milkshakes thinking it'll spark revolution.
- Tim's in LA with his ass open waiting for a multinational corporation to mount him and use him for an army to murder families.
- Contrast: Tim selling out versus someone putting wigs on in a garage ranting—the latter is actually the future.
- Young comedians on the road all say they'll move to New York or LA to get good, but Tim just asks where the Taco Bell is.
