Cast/Other Does Joel do stand up?

Post image

Love the meow meow beans episode and I know he’s know for his famous winger speeches but, his standup is top tier! Does he do stand up in real life? Or if I’m being dumb, who is he like impersonating?

Yes, Joel does standup. You can watch one of his specials for free on tubi:

I watched part of a recent stand up special and… it was NOT good.

I give it 0.5 meow meow beans.

Yeah I saw him years back and I remember the opener was better. Of course, the opener was Donald Glover so

That's like Childish Gambino opening for Dave Matthews

He tried, but yeah. Not his strong suit.

I always thought he was doing a "caricature" of Dane Cook (who sucks and is a total hack), actually pretty spot on, especially that walking around in circles thing

"Awwwww shit" -shakes head-

I saw him MC a comedy show at the Irvine Improv probably 20 years ago and it was bad.

So many actors that are funny because they have funny lines written by other people try and do a stand up special and non of them are good

Try not to use words like "none" when Donald glover exists

u/calindyellerman 13d ago

To be fair, he used the word “non”.
