I just came home from the Marc Maron Comedy central taping in NYC

I just came back from the NYC comedy central taping. It was at the Hudson Theater on 44th and 6th. Marc totally rocked, as usual.

He used a joke I’d never heard before. What if Jesus had lived longer and there was a third testament? It would include a story where this older Jesus is caught up to his knees in water, saying,
“Damn! I used to be able to do this!”

And the only remaining apostle would be like, “Hey, dude. It’s cool. Let’s take a break, relax, and we’ll come back and try this again tomorrow.”

He also let loose one about every time he sees Cheney on TV talking, he thinks he sees the serpent try to sneak out of his mouth and crawl back in his ear. And he imagines the republicans saying,
“It’s happening again, only , this time, it’s in public.Get him outa here…”

No Butch the cat jokes, so, I was bummed. He said he had a new part time job: Filling his ipod. He re-did the joke about listening to the ipod on the subway instead of doing what you’re supposed to do: Make a list of all your failures in life.

He ended with a riff about our addiction to technology and cell phones. He said if he leaves the house without the phone, he can’t function, remember anything he’s supposed to do, anyone’s number or where he lives. He said, “But, the sattelite doesn’t know where I am!”

He kept ripping a guy in the front row who wouldn’t laugh at him. That was funny.

It’s gonna air on comedy central. I think they said it would be the first show of the season, but I’m not sure. If you haven’t seen him live, don’t miss it. He’s even better on camera than radio.

At one point he was talking about how we applaud for him, and said. “I guess that’s unconditional love, isn’t it?” and the audience exploded. He had us right from his entrance, and said that all our cheering would make him cry.

Well, you made us laugh, as usual, Marc, and for that, yes, you do have our unconditional love.

BTW, Marc, I was the woman in the top row balcony stage right in the red sweater. I saw you in new jersey last year. I won’t make it on camera but it was great having a good view from the front row. You’re the best!

Get a TV sit com, PLEASE!

We love you!

2. Hey JazzJunkySue

Not to hijack your thread, but have you seen Abraham Burton, saxophone? (recommended) He was my student when I taught at IS 70 on W 17 Street, in the 1980s.


I'll be looking for marc's special, thanks. I really miss Morning Sedition.
