Sean Maloney poked around Nashville comedy a little bit a while back and wrote a thing he calls his “epic, unflinching portrait of Nashville comedy” for SplitSider.
While I appreciate him for writing this and for including me, even one mention of random idiots like this Lynn person is probably too many in a piece that doesn’t mention Keith Alberstadt or Tim Northern. It’s like Last Comic Standing putting the guy in the chicken suit on screen and letting him speak while touring comics were only visible for a second as the camera panned across the room. Thanks to Mr. Maloney for plugging NashvilleStandUp.com though.
This line sums the piece up pretty well: “Nashville comics are great, but socially inept for the most part. They’re lovely people but – ” says [Kendra] Corrie. “They just can’t get it together to be supportive in the way that I think that they would if they just weren’t afraid of human touch.”
