R&J #360 – Comedy Kumbaya

In The DLP Agenda by Matt Bluhm

Joe is planning the first official holiday gathering at his new home for Mother’s Day. A chance meeting with an often-discussed fellow podcast personality intrudes on Joe’s evening at the cinema. The Haddish camp appropriates one of Rob’s ideas, but it remains to be seen if he will benefit or be credited in any way. Rob drives all the way to Williamsburg to perform in front of 30 people and find enlightenment about having children. Rob is still tormented by his headshot dilemma and Robby’s Facebook
friend status is a casualty of the whole brouhaha. A couple of angry exchanges among the show personnel happened this week; one right before show time. Die Laughing Productions is dealing with some injured players following the most recent show. Joe plays it fast and loose with the check from the venue the following day. Joe sends well-wishes to a comedy colleague only to discover he’s been kicked out of the country. Preparing for a rare stand-up gig, Joe writes a phony set list. Rob continues to torture himself by participating in the recurring, local tournament-style comedy competition. Joe is jealous when the area’s worst comic somehow makes his way on to the local news.
