Here's a rare photo of me doing crowdwork, taken at the Ice House in Pasadena. God willing, I will be doing a 100% crowdwork free set this Saturday evening on the very same stage. It's a 5pm show, your kids will be fine if you sneak out for a few hours.

Absolutely crazy the consistency with which the Trump family keeps ending up on the side of grown men who abuse young girls.
YIkes! Ohio watch this and think about what it means.

Donna Arthur lost custody of Amy Acton at age 12 after Acton's stepfather was charged with raping her. Arthur stayed married to him until his death. Acton and her brother have been estranged since. Multiple outlets cite 1978 court records of the charges. actonforgovernor.com/dr-amy-actons-… dispatch.com/story/news/pol…

Do you think you could tell the difference between what Trump is doing and someone pulling a Nathan Fielder-type joke on everyone where he runs for president and then says increasingly ridiculous things to see what it takes for people to finally break?

I can tell you when.
I genuinely don't understand the hostility toward James Talarico. You can disagree with his theology, his politics, or both. But he consistently comes across as someone trying to treat others with kindness and dignity. Why has that become so controversial?

A lot of sadness for these executives that lose their jobs but crew members have been losing their jobs for years. Hopefully the next group of executives understands their job is to make fucking money. Good time to revisit my @THR column: hollywoodreporter.com/movies…
