Yeah you did a good job pissing us all off at the show. Bringing up the Steelers/Hawks Super Bowl really got underneath our skin haha. There was also the extremely overweight girl sitting front and center (I mean, come on...at a Jeselnik show? She should have known better haha) who was going to school to be a journalist. I believe you said something along the lines of, "Let me guess, food critic?"

Nailed it.

I saw you perform at Bumbershoot, which included about 40-50 people walking out during the middle of your set. Do you have a favorite 'stick-it-to-the-audience' memory? Something where you just said 'fuck it' and knew you weren't going to win the audience over, so you decided to try to get everyone as pissed as possible (aside from Great Barrington, that is)?

Also - I was able to get a signed CD & picture with you a while back. Just wanted to say thanks for taking a few minutes to talk to a random dude, as you've been one of my favs for a while now...and contrary to what a lot of people think of you, you seemed like a pretty swell dude. Keep it up, man!

Nah, she was just sitting there by herself watching the show. As soon as he started talking to her, you could tell that the people in the audience who knew his style knew that it wasn't going to end pretty. Felt bad for the girl, but what are you gonna do...

Side note - Bumbershoot is a pretty large art/music festival, and this show had a few different comedians on the bill, so I'm guessing a lot of people showed up for "some comedy show"...hence the massive number of people that got offended and walked out during his set. At least that's my take of the situation. There was an older couple (maybe late 50s early 60s) actually from Pittsburgh ("Our daughter was in a Wiz Khalifa music video.".....Me: You must be very proud.) standing behind me in line who asked if I knew who any of the comedians were. They asked if Jeselnik told political jokes, to which I replied something along the lines of "Nah, mostly misogynistic and darker stuff....like rape jokes." They were two of the people I watched leave halfway through his set. He saw them leaving and quipped along the lines of, "Damn, there goes my target demographic."

...Why the fuck do I remember so much from this show? My memory usually sucks...haha
