This is Jeremy Hotz at his best. And when he was at his best he was un-followable. There are excellent comedians with current Netflix specials that use the same premises as Hotz, but to much lesser effect. I watch this set regularly.

“Including the 3 seconds you took to ask that?”
People tell me to lighten up and I explain this is the happiest I've been in months and they say "we mean lose weight."— Perk up Sperkus (@LaneSperkus) January 11, 2020

What a Catastrophe!
My favorite comedy show ended last night.
For hundreds of non-fat Tuesdays during the past eight years, Comedy Catastrophe was a unique and funky treat for yours truly. The standup showcase always had an interesting mix of comedians— including many regulars— and audiences couldn't have asked for a better host than Cassidy Henehan.
The vibe in the backroom of the Lost Love Lounge was unlike any other. The locked piano, the bizarre 'Timeshark' backdrop, the disco ball and four inch stage... the noodle restaurant to the side and Jen serving drinks in front... it appeared too odd and disjointed a venue for a good show. But Catastrophe pulled it all together somehow, week after week, for free. And at times it produced comedy that bordered on transcendent. Local talent like Scotland Green, Joe Cardosi, Katie East and Dane Faucheux would be there, as well as numerous traveling comedians who were in town. Occasionally, big names like Kyle Kinane, Sean Patton, Mark Normand, and Hannibal Buress would drop in and electrify the room. Anything could happen at Catastrophe— heck, Chad Meyer or 80's comedian Chip Gibson might show up! I enjoyed the hell out of it. Granted, there wasn't always a 'hot crowd' there, but overall Catastrophe grew my appreciation for the potentialities of standup, and produced many of my favorite entertainment moments over the past decade.
In an act of incredible generosity, Cassidy invited me to do a couple minutes on stage and be part of Catastrophe's final night. It was a genuine thrill to perform before a packed house, and say goodbye to a comedy show I'll always fondly remember.
