How Jeselnik Became Jeselnik - YMH Highlight

You don't wake up with the confidence of Anthony Jeselnik on stage. You grow into it. Anthony goes on Your Mom's House Podcast and tells Tom Segura and Christina P. how he started out and developed his style on stage.

Ayo as a comedian that does mostly the darkest of jokes, I am telling you, this is truly the best feeling. Ive had people send death threats to my mom and she called be about it and not gonna lie, when she said someone threatened to kill her over some joke I made about school; shooters I legit told my mom without hesitation, "Oh damn, that joke killed!" she didnt laugh, my sides burst. Idc, comedy is an art form we take pride in. Its not easy being a comedian.

Almost

[@Thisisnttravis]

Also it's what a twist

[@samuelalexander1014]

But he actually writes amazing jokes as well whilst using overtly offensive material to enhance the comedic quality of his material. He doesn't just go on stage and say offensive opinions and expect everyone to laugh at him

3:39 thank you so much for bringing this up, Jennie from the box here- as a box office clerk comedy club in Boston there's been numerous times people say to me closer quote what Christina pointed out pick something anything I love it when they're not happy with their time at the venue didn't think the comedian was funny and wanted their money back. It clearly states on our website the Entertainer along with a background description of both prior projects and what type of witty nonsensical material. Maybe it's because we're in a hotel they believe we can accommodate? Apologies for rambling, I be saying this every weekend😂

That was a good point about getting help from others. Once I heard that "others" can often point out problems in your writing, but rarely can offer good solutions.

[@gabelogan56]

If you're talking about comedy and short setup-punch type jokes. Mitch Hedberg, Stephen Wright, Anthony Jeselnik prob all don't need much input since it's all so very short and meant to be their thoughts/voice. But most writers benefit from other respected writers/minds input. Even if it means that you hear it and ignore it. It's almost always beneficial for others you respect to have a look at your writing. Sometimes pointing out problems and not offering solutions is a great thing... like they're saying "you could be better here... so go work harder."

[@nickabreu5121]

I know the Russell Peters joke: "I've been doing a lot of charity work. Have you heard of the Make A Wish Foundation? (Applause) Yeah, they do really good work and it's perfect for someone like me who likes kids but also gets bored really fast."

I had never heard of him.. I saw him this past May at the Comedy Store, we were in the 2nd row, and i was crying by the time he was done. He almost made up for Nick Swardson no showing.. (one of the reasons we drove to Hollywood for a couple days).. was disappointed he wasnt hanging out in the lobby after, but understanding it happens, no big deal, that would have been a huge bonus.. lol... ... Will definitely see him if he ever comes to Vegas... When i told a co-worker that i saw him, he was super jealous thats when i found out that he is a pretty big deal...

I travel a lot for work, every time I am in a new city or just somewhere, if I see a comedy joint, I go in, idc who it is.

Then again, I am a comedian so its nice to see material change from one area to another.

[@pennywisepuma2255]

Anthony has a unique style of comedy and to see him doing well shows that anyone can do it

[@rickdavis32]

I think it shows the exact opposite, he has a very classic confrontational style. He's slight and intentional, his pacing and delivery are exceptional. Just very hard to teach,he's a strong mix of Bill Hicks and Andrew Dice Clay with a pinch of Mitch Hedburg.

[@MrBlackLenses]

It’d be a pretty hilarious joke if Anthony just came out on stage and opened with “I dunno...something about make a wish kids?” And then just moved on lmao

[@TURFCC]

With the right crowd and delivery, this would be fucking epic lmao

[@lorduvaltv274]

He’s not a horrible person though, he admitted that most/all of his jokes are made up stories..

[@shannonpincombe8485]

Jeselnik is a funny guy. I love his schtick. The truth of ego and an internal dialogue which leans towards offensive is what he puts out there. Some folks don't want a mirror held up to their reality. You're all invited to his next 'Shark Party'.

[@michaelcole8999]

Holy crap! I was at an open mic comedy night and one of the bouncers (buzzed or drunk) was talking crap and heckling during a joke about people who don’t like Michael Jackson songs and I thought to so “okay, what do you listen to, Godsmack?”, But when I went in for it I just said “Uh oh, SOMEBODY got their Make A Wish granted visit to the Neverland Ranch!”. If I plan it, it’s only half as funny as it is if I try to structure everything, but I also don’t respond to hecklers and don’t get them often, but I would LOVE to see any 3 of these comics lay into a heckler or an entire audience offended over a joke. I really attempted in March this year, and suicide jokes are my bread and butter, but Anthony Jeselnik’s “Suicide Chunk” bit is the best. The paramedics driving me from my treatment for my intentional overdose to the psychiatric hospital suicide ward were not entertained by that bit that I quoted to them.... and it made me look more insane by laughing at them not laughing. I guess I don’t blame them though

People wanting you to read their work is very common in all entertainment. Authors, especially successful writers get the “here’s my story my friend or mother thought it’d be good”. “You write and we’ll share the Royalties”. Another favorite of mine is “ you won’t believe this but I’m working on a book too, for 5 years and when I get time I’ll publish it”. P.S I’m not a writer but I’m related to a few.

Some of the funniest things I have seen is when crowds dislike the comedian but instead of getting upset they turn it back on the crowd and just keep twisting the knife. I LOVE when they make the crowd understand that they paid for this to happen so they will just have to take it.

[@darkwing1128]

Saw him awhile back with Ali Wong, Chris D’Elia, and Joe Rogan. All very very nice people and great comics. Anthony even shook our hands after his set. People get too caught up in their feelings and are too self-centered these days. These people are stand up comedians, their jobs are to talk about the things in life that no one else does and make you laugh about it. Don’t click, put on, or go watch any stand up comedy if you’re not going into it with an open mind. Comedy is an art form, if you don’t like that brand of comedy shut up and find another brand. That’s what the internet is for. That goes for music and movies too.
