Since Dorian Died Two years after the death of his son, Ben Kweller doesn’t want to waste any more time.

three days after I got this assigned (about a musician I love, done by a writer I admire), I experienced a sudden, unexpected, and very close death in my life, so having this piece to work on was kind of like having a grief guide to hang out with :) www.vulture.com/article/ben-...

Can Nathan Fielder Save You From Dying in a Plane Crash? As an aviation journalist, I was skeptical of The Rehearsal. Then I talked to experts.

"As a journalist who writes often about aviation safety, I'm acutely aware of just how real and widespread deadly air crashes are. What if, for once, the extravagance of Fielder's solutions matched the scale of the problem?" from @jeffwise.bsky.social www.vulture.com/article/nath...

John Mulaney’s Playhouse In his new live talk show, the comedian has free rein to do whatever he wants. What exactly is that?

"There’s really no point trying to retain any kind of information."

For Comics, Honing Jokes Has Taken a Backseat to Marketing. Stand-ups need time and practice to get good. When they have to focus on promotion and their social media feeds, the art form suffers.

Ending the year with some worries about the art and craft of comedy. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/31/a...

I enjoyed this exchange because asking to go off the record in a Q and A is like asking for a Big Mac at a Burger King -- >

"Will we be able to go off the record for this part of the conversation?

I wouldn’t want to have this conversation off the record. The answer doesn’t help me, specifically."

no

I watch this when someone points out a typo in a feature I edited

The Comedian vs. the Crowd Disruptive audiences nearly drove James Acaster from stand-up. Instead, he decided to embrace the hecklers.

"It’s one of those things we debate: Do you have to suffer for your art? Do you have to be miserable? Do you have to have someone like J.K. Simmons on your back all the time in order to be great?" @hershalpandya.bsky.social + James Acaster: www.vulture.com/article/jame...

‘I’m Not Letting You Laugh at Me. I’m Perfect.’ Twenty years into his stand-up career, Anthony Jeselnik remains the king of crossed lines.
