We review the documentary Too Soon: Comedy After 9/11 which you can catch on Vice TV on Sept. 8th, just a few days before the 20th anniversary of the 2001 attacks. The documentary features interviews with comedians including David Cross, Gilbert Godfried, Janeane Garofolo, and Marc Maron about the struggle to re-establish humor's place in the aftermath of the attacks that day. The film explores how stand-up comedians, Broadway performers, late-night hosts, and Saturday Night Live helped audiences laugh even in the darkest of days. Our guest is Julie Seabaugh the director, executive producer, and story editor of Too Soon: Comedy After 9/11.Too Soon premieres on VICE TV September 8 at 9 p.m. and will be repeating numerous times thereafter. (VICE TV is available via all major satellite and cable providers and the VICE TV app via iOS, Android, Apple TV, Roku, and Chromecast.)Julie Seabaugh grew up on a farm in rural Missouri and discovered stand-up when Dave Attell performed during her senior year of college. Way back in 2003, she founded and edited the criminally ahead of its time print and online comedy magazine Two Drink Minimum. Now the only full-time freelance comedy journalist in the United States, she's contributed to The New York Times, Rolling Stone, The Hollywood Reporter, GQ, Variety, The A.V. Club, The Village Voice, The Huffington Post, Spin, Playboy, Vulture, Paste, Time Out New York, Time Out Chicago, and numerous other alt-weeklies. Seabaugh's coverage of modern roasting culminated in the 2018 book Ringside at Roast Battle: The First Five Years of L.A.'s Fight Club for Comedians, and her love of Mitch Hedberg led to producing/hosting 2020's Hope on Top: A Mitch Hedberg Oral History for SiriusXM's Comedy Central Channel (available to stream via the SiriusXM app). With Emmy-nominated director and editor Nick Scown, she is currently producing the documentary Too Soon: Comedy After 9/11. Participants include David Cross, Janeane Garofalo, Gilbert Gottfried, Lewis Black, Darrell Hammond, Doug Stanhope, and Marc Maron; the film's 2021 release will mark the twentieth anniversary of the attacks. Among her career highlights, simultaneous Bridget Everett Village Voice and Roast Battle L.A. Weekly cover stories ran on both sides of the country the week of September 8, 2014. Interviewees over the years include Carl Reiner, Christopher Guest, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Joan Rivers, George Carlin, Don Rickles, Eddie Izzard, Drew Carey, Howie Mandel, Jimmy Kimmel, Key & Peele, Judd Apatow, Lily Tomlin, Mitch Hedberg, Seth Meyers, Wanda Sykes, and Zach Galifianakis. Having previously served as A&E staff writer at Las Vegas Weekly, Seabaugh won a 2015 Nevada Press Association Award for a cover profile tracing the downward health spiral of The Amazing Johnathan. “It's obvious the author is a wordsmith,” judges wrote. “Every sentence is well thought out. It's full of lively adjectives and truly paints a picture of what the Amazing Johnathan looks like, what he's experiencing and how he got to his current state. I felt like he was sitting next to me, boisterously telling his story.”For nearly two decades Seabaugh has covered, judged, and moderated panels at festivals including the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Just for Laughs Montreal, SXSW, San Francisco Sketchfest, New York Comedy Festival, Just for Laughs Toronto, Sasquatch, Grand Rapids' Gilda's LaughFest, Montana's Big Sky Comedy Festival, Austin's Moontower, Portland's Bridgetown, the Seattle International Comedy Competition, Riot L.A., Nashville's Wild West Comedy Festival, and Atlanta's Laughing Skull.Follow Julie on:Twitter: @julieseabaughFollow us on:Twitter: @supdocpodcastInstagram: @supdocpodcastFacebook: @supdocpodcastsign up for our mailing listAnd you can show your support to Sup Doc by donating on Patreon.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Join Scott and Mark with their guest, Alex Velluto, as they chat about different cryptocurrencies and why Alex hates all of them. Alex Velluto is an actor, a writer, and a comedian on the rise. With two Dry Bar Comedy specials and millions of online views, Alex has performed in the top comedy clubs across the country in over 60 cities as a member of the Dry Bar Comedy Tour. Today, he shares his thoughts on healthcare, billionaires, and nudity-backed crypto. You don't want to miss this, so stay tuned and enjoy the episode!The Existential Crisis Behind CryptoWhen asked about his short-lived crypto journey, Alex went on about how much he hated it. Alongside investing and billionaires, cryptocurrency is on top of his “It can die in a fire” list. After investing a few cents into Dogecoin, he ended up with a lot less than he had imagined. And so, he pulled out whatever investment he had in Doge and swore never to do it again. However, this is not the only reason why he is bitter about cryptocurrency. At first, Alex jokingly said that he hates crypto because he wishes he had gotten into it sooner. But soon after, he also shared his experience talking about crypto with people he knew. In this experience, he intuitively realized that crypto is based on the value people put in it. And so, if crypto is based on the value people give it, then the same can be said for anything else—stocks, real estate, other people, etc. Hence, with cryptocurrency, Alex Velluto is constantly reminded that everything in life is meaningless, the one thought he tries to forget, even for a little while. And yet, here he is, talking about different cryptocurrencies in today's episode of Amigospc. The Aftermath of Decentralizing Big CompaniesOften, the goal of cryptocurrency is to decentralize large businesses such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Then again, while discussing how Helium plans to go up against The Internet, Alex posed the question, “What happens after they succeed?” Like the concept of anarchism, crypto's goal to take down big companies could only mean that crypto seeks to take their place, which is arguably just as bad. Later in the episode, Alex best described it as “taking down evil corporations by being more evil.” Of course, while this is a joke, there may be some truth to crypto's means to decentralize ventures in power. And while Mark tried to counter it with “what if crypto becomes sustainable,” it still begs the question, “who would be responsible for its regulation then?”. What would the distribution of resources be like then? Will the value of crypto be sustainable when, at its core, its value is based on what value people give it? So far, sustaining the value of crypto has already proven to be impossible. Hence, Alex's concern over the aftermath of crypto's success is still valid. Either way, only the future holds the answer to his question, and the number of existential crises in this episode is enough for one day.About Alex Velluto:Alex Velluto was named “Best of Fest” at the Golden Spike Comedy Festival. Alex also won at the Finger Lakes Comedy Festival in Ithaca, NY, and got into the finals at the Boston Comedy Festival. Since then, he has performed at other top festivals globally, including the Big Sky Comedy Festival and the Seattle International Comedy Competition.In 2016, Alex was voted “Best Comedian” by City Weekly Magazine. Now, his debut comedy special "Alex Velluto: Spurious" is currently streaming on Amazon. He is also said to appear alongside the cast of JK Studios, formerly known as Studio C, in their series Loving Lyfe. Not only that, he will be hosting a comedy walking series for NordicTrack despite being vaguely out of shape, according to him.

Join me as I interview one of my favorite people in LA Comedy Jeremiah Watkins!! A fantastic comic,improviser and musician tells his tales of the mean streets of LA Comedy and Beyond! Follow him on Twitter/Instagram @jeremiahstandup and me @EarlSkakel. Please also go to his website www.jeremiahwatkins.tv for all the latest news in his world!! Jeremiah Watkins is one of those comedians that you can't forget. Born and raised in Kansas, he's literally been performing since the day he was born. (His mom brought him home from the hospital in a Santa Claus outfit) Throughout childhood, he acted, sang, and began honing impressions. In high school, Jeremiah was known for his comedic music videos, sketches, and broadcasting segments which he won multiple awards for at the state and national level. At 19, Jeremiah landed his first job in the industry as an on-air personality at a local Kansas City radio station. A year later, he moved to LA to pursue his dream of becoming a cast member on Saturday Night Live. Since then, he has established himself as one of the most physical stand-up comedians in Los Angeles with his high energy and off-the-cuff style. He has appeared in multiple national commercials, and performs regularly at The Comedy Store, The Improv, The Laugh Factory and more. His show Stand-Up On The Spot was named 1 of "5 Funniest Nights in America" by GQ, and he recently placed 2nd in the Big Sky Comedy Festival. Watkins has also performed at Just For Laughs in Montreal, Comedy Central's New York Comedy Festival, and Riot LA. You've seen his comedic dance skills on VH1, and he can be seen starring in the the film i-Lived and the upcoming film Betting On Baker in 2016. He has also trained at Second City and The Groundlings, and has performed improv all over Los Angeles. No matter what size the audience, Jeremiah Watkins guarantees a memorable show experience like you've never seen before.
