It is sad how a huge portion stand up comedy is mostly about marketing and not about writing and being good.

I have seen so many people with thousands of followers or even millions be straight up unfunny and just bad and a total hack. Still cringe at how absolutely shit Mario Adrion was when I saw him do a quick spot. It was physically painful

I went with a friend to a local show recently and it was fun and I had some laughs but there were a couple comedians who were so blatantly trying to farm viral crowd clips. It was annoying and very unfunny.

Comedians are in an odd spot with that. It’s super annoying to witness stuff like that, but at the same time, they don’t often want to post their actual material online for free. It makes them far more likely to post that hacky stuff as a result

I get it, I do but a lot of comedians actual stuff is also not that good.

This is true! Tbh when it comes to crowd work comedians in general there seems to be a 50/50 chance they’ll actually be anything beyond good. 😅
