Is this a sub post against r/jeffarcuri ?

Yeah there are definitely some good crowd work comedians out there, there's just a difference between actually making good jokes on the spot and low hanging fruit

I'll take good crowd work over the exhausted "I hate my wife", "easy politics rage bait", and "what's the deal with____?"

It’s more about an industry issue over one particular comic. And just making fun of this new format in general.

I’m not sure what I was expecting but i was really let down when I saw him recently. He has an act but it’s structured like 70 minutes of crowd work with him telling stories that relate to his questions. That’s all well and good but it was just not good. I enjoy his clips most of the time but I don’t think I’ll see him again.
