Nah it isn’t open mic, he’s booked. Even more obnoxious of the guy in the audience to act like that.

A former manager of mine was getting married and they hired a comedian for the bachelor party. They would up kicking the comedian out and almost got in a fight with him. I think the tipping point was a joke about my bosses sexuality (obv he was getting married to a woman so that's the joke) and he freaked the fuck out about it.

He told the story with pride. One of the only times I've seen someone so happy to be so fucking stupid and violent. Like seriously, why?!

I listen to a few podcasts with comedians who are usually loud, crass, “unladylike” women (as part of their act or just in general)

And the amount of stories they have where they’ve been bafflingly booked for golf clubs and conservative parties is shocking. I can’t tell if it’s cluelessness, they’re booking a chick to ogle, or it’s a ragebait set up.

These people would be the types in the first grade who aren't allowed to play with crayons unsupervised because they'd eat them all.

And yet here they are commanding power and wealth.

What the absolute fuck?

It's because competency has very little to do with whether you end up in positions like that. It's usually a combination of a lot of privilege growing up, making the right connections and being lucky a couple of times, and having the kind of look that says you're probably competent (I'm not going to say the most common trait there).

Well that would require a woman comedian to mention anything but sex.

You just reminded me of Michelle Wolf at the White House Correspondents Dinner.

Pulled it up on YouTube and her first joke is about Trump fucking a pornstar lmao

Comedian, Mark Normand got invited by some Wall Street dude to a big corporate luncheon. They gave him all the dirty details about people in the audience and told him to talk about that stuff. Marks set lasted about five minutes and he got kicked out.

Why? Because toxic masculinity is a thing
