March 16th 2024 and Jimmy was in Las Vegas to start a short US tour leg, with 2 nights at The Mirage Theatre (bill as his Terribly Funny 2.0 tour, although this was overlapping the start of the new tour, Laughs Funny).
Having some free time (?) he dropped in to do the Pete & Sebastian podcast (Pete Correale and Sebastian Maniscalco).
Just short of an hour this podcast has a lot of giggles in it, mostly at Pete’s expense. Some topics covered include:
- Pete’s head shape
- Bantering in the playground
- With comedians – which of your parents were sick?
- Comedy releases dopamine / serotonin
- Nobel prize
- George Carlin – 7 words you cannot say
- Cancellation and self-censorship
- Natural Born Killer, apology joke
- Overton Window
- Dark sense of humour
- Sebastian’s latest special / dressing for the occasion
- Encouraging Sebastian to tour outside of the US
- Jimmy writing new jokes and reading them, on stage, from a sheet of paper, each night
- Rosetta Stone of Comedy
- Interactive part of gigs / heckling
- Using an intro screen of jokes, before Jimmy comes on stage
- Talking to Tom Cruise re Stanley Kubrick
- Charm v Charisma
- Queen’s Jubilee and the “Mr Carr” joke (more here)
- Don Rickles
- Allan Havey
