This is all material that I was working on for the hour, but didn’t make the cut (because I forgot it as I churned out new stuff). Filmed this set late 2017 at Comedy Cellar. A few notes because I’m anticipating your comments:
1) Real Housewives of ISIS became a show in Jan 2017 on BBC, 6 months AFTER I started telling that ISIS joke. I know the timing because a bouncer at the Cellar sent me the news article saying YO BBC STOLE YOUR SHIT. And part of me thinks they did, because lots of Brits come to the Cellar, and it’s not beyond the realm of possibility that some producer saw me do that joke and went back and said HEY BLOKES I’VE GOT A HA-LARIOUS IDEA I STOLE FROM AN INDIAN BOY – JUST LIKE WE STOLE EVERYTHING ELSE FROM INDIA. Point is,@BBC – you owe me money, and also that show was terrible.
2) It’s startling to see that I was using KAREN well before it become a national term. “I’m ahead of my time. Sometimes years out.”
3) Obviously Palestinians aren’t terrorists. That joke was written after some terrorists from Palestine attacked Israel via a tunnel (and then Israel reacted in a disproportionate response as it often does. Just give Palestine statehood already. Jesus Christ.) so I said Palestinians, not even thinking of the implications. I’m not sorry. Like you never make mistakes. You f’ing do-gooders.
