I am excited about getting out and covering comedy rooms. To bring you all the deets on why the specials, when you hang out in the comedy rooms you can almost see whose up nexts. Stay tuned, but until then, here’s why we’re doing it.

A standup show filmed in a comic’s home city always resonates well. Allow me to tell you, but you have to watch it for yourself. I enjoy when veteran comics take the stage because there’s this ability to connect that many younger comics have not acquired and you get that right away with Mike, he reads the room well; he jokingly said he knows everyone in it, but nonetheless he read it.

Let me start by saying that I did not know what Phat Tuesday was being from Chicago. I have heard of all the comedy rooms throughout the city over decades, but few beyond. I saw one of my favorite comics Luenell (@heyluenell), go live on Instagram on Monday afternoon, so I jumped in to find out she was interviewed for a new docuseries on Amazon Prime, created by Guy Torry (Actor/comic), titled, Phat Tuesday that premiered February 4, 2022. I had to google it to learn it was a popular comedy room in Los Angeles back in the 1990s, Phat Tuesday at the Comedy Store.
