Laugh Sabbath murders Joke Club and everyone is really miserable about it

But not really. The title of this post is a lie!

here’s an interview in which you learn the real straight poop.

MSNEO Hall

Laugh Sabbath’s Nick Flanagan: Comedian

like I did

MNLOP hell

Obsidian Sled’s David Dineen-Porter

MLD Drop Dell Bolb

ALright

it begins.. now

did you feel it beginning ?

Laugh Sabbath’s Nick Flanagan: Comedian

Whee

yes i did

the shift

Obsidian Sled’s David Dineen-Porter

it feels sort of like a sled being painted by an ogre

i’m sitting here in virtual cyberspace (very meta of me) with Nick Flanagan, the heretofore host of the Joke club, toronto’s long running alternative comedy night at the Drake Hotel

hi nick.

Laugh Sabbath’s Nick Flanagan: Comedian

That’s a very Sierra Online-style analogy

the thing you said earlier

hi

Obsidian Sled’s David Dineen-Porter

ahah, you know you can play those games on your nintendo DS?

Laugh Sabbath’s Nick Flanagan: Comedian

What games? King’s Quest, etc?

Obsidian Sled’s David Dineen-Porter

liesure suit larry, space quest 4

Obsidian Sled’s David Dineen-Porter

etc..

Laugh Sabbath’s Nick Flanagan: Comedian

awesome

i would love to

i loved those games

Obsidian Sled’s David Dineen-Porter

and all the “SCUMM” games, like day of the tentacle, monkey island, sam n max

Laugh Sabbath’s Nick Flanagan: Comedian

text adventures with graphics

Obsidian Sled’s David Dineen-Porter

from lucas arts

Laugh Sabbath’s Nick Flanagan: Comedian

i never played day of the tentacle but i am big on maniac mansions

Obsidian Sled’s David Dineen-Porter

and it’s to lucas arts i turn now, as you have recently started performing a major lucas arts show at the Rivoli with long time female companion (not romantically though) Rebecca Addelman

is that as excellent as it seems from the cold exterior

?

Laugh Sabbath’s Nick Flanagan: Comedian

The Hour Of Power

Obsidian Sled’s David Dineen-Porter

yeah.

Laugh Sabbath’s Nick Flanagan: Comedian

that’s the show I do with Rebecca, now at the Rivoli the last sunday of the month.

Obsidian Sled’s David Dineen-Porter

the last sunday of every month.

yeah

Laugh Sabbath’s Nick Flanagan: Comedian

The next one being February 25th.

Obsidian Sled’s David Dineen-Porter

is it amazing? do you want to talk about it a little?

Laugh Sabbath’s Nick Flanagan: Comedian

It is a show we’ve been trying to find a home for since december, and it was nice that it wound up being part of the laugh sabbath umbrella.

The first show went encouragingly well and it’s really fun to work out. We make stupid videos for it.

check em out!

Obsidian Sled’s David Dineen-Porter

(videos posted below, i assume by now)

Laugh Sabbath’s Nick Flanagan: Comedian

We’re looking forward to keeping the show going, and using it to be dumb together and to make us better at videos and performing.

hahaha not quite yet

Obsidian Sled’s David Dineen-Porter

Is it not ALSO true that you were recently FIRED from an unpaid blogging position because of a testacle reference?

Laugh Sabbath’s Nick Flanagan: Comedian

Pretty much

Obsidian Sled’s David Dineen-Porter

great!

Laugh Sabbath’s Nick Flanagan: Comedian

I have changed the story to ‘disassociated’ and the pay scale is apparently there, it’s just you need to earn points then start getting paid once you have 60 in a month

Obsidian Sled’s David Dineen-Porter

now, while you’re working at the rivoli with the Laugh Sabbath crew, what will happen to the old joke club show?

Laugh Sabbath’s Nick Flanagan: Comedian

i don’t understand it either.

Well, I love Joke Club but I’m burnt out on producing the show every month, plus I’m going on tour for at least two of the next six or seven months, so that slot will be occupied by various shows when I am not doing it. It’s being worked out at the moment, i believe.

Obsidian Sled’s David Dineen-Porter

yes, infact it has recently been announced that anothe toronto show that has been homeless since the fall, Circular Laaughing Breads, will take over at least a couple of the slots.

Laugh Sabbath’s Nick Flanagan: Comedian

very nice

You host that

Obsidian Sled’s David Dineen-Porter

what are your reflex reactions to that.

Laugh Sabbath’s Nick Flanagan: Comedian

with Jason Richards

i love it

Obsidian Sled’s David Dineen-Porter

yes.

Laugh Sabbath’s Nick Flanagan: Comedian

it’s exactly what i wanted

give shows with no homes a home

Obsidian Sled’s David Dineen-Porter

so would you say that you’ve successfully manipulated us all into your scheme?

Laugh Sabbath’s Nick Flanagan: Comedian

Obsidian Sled’s David Dineen-Porter

Laugh Sabbath’s Nick Flanagan: Comedian

Obsidian Sled’s David Dineen-Porter
