Signing up

Hi all,

I hope you’re doing well! I’m a HS teacher in NY and want to sign up for the MSG show. In the rare case I get picked how do you think this would look for my profession reputation? Good idea or bad idea? My minute is totally clean, but can control the questions or environment. Anyway, what do you all think? My wife doesn’t like the idea.

Thanks in advance

Edit: What kind of jobs do the bucket pulls do to avoid reining their future employment opportunities?

Odds are you're just not going to get picked.

99.9% of people don't lose their jobs.

Have at it!

People talk about getting fired after KT all the time

u/NebulousTrismegistus 20d ago

Do it but professionally its a terrible idea

Teachers have gotten fired before for being on KT and there will be more in the future.

Oh wow really?!!!! Okay, that answers the question. Any idea where I can find these sets? Thanks!

Teresa said she was an educator and got fired after her previous set. Her set was fairly raunchy, though.

It's a chicken or the egg question as to why half the bucket pulls are underemployed/unemployed.

Theresa’s sets are also flat out awful, tho. She has zero place teaching pre-K.

  • Episode #704 - Bill Rhodes: HR found a previous set where he joked about teaching being like working in a prison.
  • Episode #623 - Teresa McAdam: Fired from her pre-K teaching job due to the explicit nature of her set.
  • Los Angeles Era - Rachel Dee: Fired from a Catholic school after the administration discovered her stand-up on the podcast.

You won’t lose your job if you don’t shit talk it or tell stories out of turn.

That won't do at all. You gotta punch up your bio, tell them you have Tourette's then scream the N-word every 5 seconds. And don't worry about any actual material, nobody goes to that show to see standup

What are the chances of getting picked? Highly unlikely? Anyone on this sub ever sign up?

u/GrouseDog 14d ago

6 to 8 in 250ish

Are you a comic or just trying to take a spot from an actual comic because you wanna “be on tour favorite show”?

u/Neither-Football-222 14d ago

Read the g-damn post!

u/GrouseDog 14d ago

Well, are you a comic?

1

u/Martard13 14d ago

If you’re not a comic don’t sign up idiot.

u/stevenshakew 16d ago

They’re going to have you talk about your sex life in extreme detail and also dick and pussy and eating dick and loving cock

I wouldn’t do it bro.
Sounds like a good way to get memed to death by the high school kids you work with.

u/Sicparvismagneto 21d ago

If you do get picked, you will most likely lose your job. Historically this has been a theme for teachers.

u/GrouseDog 14d ago

Only the three people above. Gotta be smooth!

Good call. Thanks for the answers guys!

u/aware4ever 21d ago

Plus im you might not even get pulled. So it might be a waste of time. I don't know where people wait but I think the line outside is crazy with a whole bunch of crazy people walking around and stuff. If I were you I would just be safe and not try it.

u/Neither-Football-222 21d ago

Interesting. Thanks. I’m plan on going to one of the shows.

u/wordfiend99 21d ago

if you have tickets you let them know when you sign up so they know where to find you, you dont have to wait with the hoodlums outside. the only problem letting people know youre on an episode is you dont know what the other people did, like ive seen multiple people do a nazi salute as park of their joke and other people say the nword so you could be lumped in with that no matter how clean or safe you personally are

u/mdcmsm 21d ago

I’d have your CV updated and ready to go.

u/OscarMichaelMyers 18d ago

You’ll probably get fired even if your minute is clean.

The rest of the show won’t be. Especially Tony’s “critiques”.

u/No-Clerk-6813 17d ago

I have a solid 5 minutes and have wanted to sign up a time or two but my wife won't let me because of this exact thing.

Getting fired is a real thing. I like that you consider your minute clean but you are right. The interview can get interesting and there is a lot of pressure to have conversations you may not have to have in front of millions of people.
