Similar to Frankie but better and much edgier.
Did a gig in Canada and offended them so much he had death threats.
Did a gig in London and called the Kings Cross fire (when ~30 people died) a “fucking good start”.
"Hello moosefuckers! I tell you why I hate Canada, half of you speak French, and the other half let them
Why don’t you speak Indian? You might as well speak the language of the people you stole the country off of in the first place."
Probably because the talk shows that he is on or interviews he does are by his friends who don’t bust his balls about failed sitcoms. Here’s an article on it: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2017/11/01/a-failed-sitcom-could-end-your-career-for-john-mulaney-it-was-just-the-beginning/
No one is even coming close to his social commentary in the comedy sphere imo
Okay that’s amazing.
It depends on which one. On average, it’s mid-40s. One has a younger crowd of people in their late-20s, 30s and 40s. Another has lots of members in their 50s and 60s.
All three have members between 20 and 70.
That’s pretty standard for clubs like this.
Were you serious about being on the board?
I’m confused. I’m sure this is something funny but I’m totally missing it.
I was. I’ve been on several and a few committees. This type of thing takes management like any other club. In fact, more so as vetting is critical and making sure rules are followed is the bedrock of them functioning. If people, especially women don’t feel comfortable they don’t survive.
If there’s one thing clovis is famous for it’s swinging. Him being on the board of a club should not be a shocker. If you want juicy details you should probably pretend to be mature about it and try to tease them out. After that you can be immature.
The surprise was that they actually had a “board”. Not that Clovis was on it.
Questions seems totally fair so far. Giggling is totally allowed. Sex is both fun and awkward.
Rest assured, I’m not at all embarrassed so you can’t shock or surprise me. I’ve been asked if all before.
That’s totally fair and a common misunderstanding. I’ve been on a ton of boards, both swinging, NGOs and corporate. The swinging ones are as serious, or more so, sometimes.
I love this. Keep going.
Not sure If serious or sarcastic but ok…
There are different kinds of clubs so swinging is a bit of a misnomer. Swinging is traditionally heterosexual and mostly free of S&M. Thankfully the lines are blurring more and more. Some clubs have a heavy S&M vibe. Others don’t have any of that.
You will see people of all ages, races, ethnicities and body types. That’s my favourite thing about them.
Do you guys have an actual application form?
Wait, there’s seriously an application that people need to fill out?
I mean aside from a criminal record or certain health problems, what could lead to being rejected from the group?
One has an actual form but most don’t. All require an introduction, often best coming from existing member. Then you are invited to a meeting.
For clubs with an S&M component the first meeting is always over coffee with other members. Nothing sexual happens. It’s an introduction and interview.
For more vanilla clubs, sometimes the “interview” happens at a play event. If so you are normally not allowed to play the first time.
Membership is always conditional on following the rules and there is always a zero tolerance in terms of consent.
Men normally, but not always, have to be accompanied by a woman. Men are also vetted more stringently than woman.
Common reasons for rejection include, having been kicked out of another club or event, making it seem like consent is not important to you, making body shaming or racial comments or being clearly not really into it but being forced by a partner.
Are there dues?
Yes. For things like supplies, food, cleaning etc
Some clubs elsewhere are ran as businesses.
In before cleaning jokes.
