In comedy, you've got open micers sucking each other's dicks to get some stage time like five minutes at an open mic.
Comedian David Boyle is back with another episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', and this time, he's sharing his unfiltered thoughts on the show 'Baby Reindeer'. Boyle's wife watched the show, and while she found it emotionally gripping, Boyle had a very different take. He argues that 'Baby Reindeer' barely scratches the surface of the real horror behind stand-up comedy. According to him, the show's depiction of a comedian's meltdown on stage is nothing compared to what happens in real life.
Boyle hilariously recounts how such meltdowns are common in the comedy world, and often lead to nothing more than another night at an open mic with the same old jokes. He emphasises that true horror stories in comedy involve sexual scandals and exploitation, which 'Baby Reindeer' glosses over. Boyle shares some shocking anecdotes about comedians he's known, highlighting the dark side of the industry. Despite the heavy subject matter, his comedic touch keeps things light-hearted.
If you're curious about the gritty reality of stand-up comedy, Boyle's take on 'Baby Reindeer' is a must-listen.
