Joe describes Holzman's spotlight-only sets and his wild, improvised material about nobody liking Billy Joel despite selling out Madison Square Garden, plus a Hedberg story about following a high-energy opener.
- Tim recalls Holzman's set at Madison Square Garden was amazing.
- Holzman had a bit about nobody liking Billy Joel despite selling out MSG 300 times.
- Tim made a real effort to get Holzman to Austin because Comedy Store wasn't utilizing him right.
- Holzman now has an audience at the mothership and shows are sold out with people expecting to see him.
- You have to set the stage and tone right; putting high-energy performers before a deadpan comic kills the vibe.
- With Holzman, if people don't know what's going on it's tough, but once they do, they're in for something unusual and interesting.
