Jim Norton cancels his stadium shows for Macklemore
Jim Norton announced he is pulling his shows at Gillette Stadium in solidarity with Macklemore, then said Jerry Jones begged him to keep three dates at AT&T Stadium. He does not appear to have any stadium shows, which is the whole joke.
The big stuff
Jim Norton cancels his stadium shows in solidarity with Macklemore
Norton announced he was cancelling upcoming shows at LFF Stadium and Gillette Stadium, tagging Macklemore. He never explained the reference, and the joke is that a comic is solemnly pulling stadium dates. Hours later he escalated, saying Jerry Jones begged him not to cancel three shows at AT&T Stadium and that he stands with Ed Sheeran.
In solidarity with @macklemore, I am cancelling my upcoming shows at @LFFStadium and @GilletteStadium.
Jerry Jones begged me not to cancel my 3 shows at @ATTStadium. We had a great chat, I stand with @edsheeran
Bits and clips
Mark Normand calls Schindler's List a little too campy
No setup, no thread, just the sentence. Later he quoted a Post crime story with the words "Doggy Style" and let it sit. Both are the same trick: the shortest possible post on the least appropriate subject available.
Schindler’s List is good but a little too campy
Doggy Style

Stavros Halkias points people to UNCLE STAV on Netflix, Luis J. Gomez cosigns Landau's special
Halkias put out a clip with a line about "our boys in blue" and told people to watch UNCLE STAV now on Netflix. Gomez, with no hedging at all, said Landau's special is incredible and to go watch it. Are You Garbage posted a hibachi hot dogs clip and told people to go watch the new special, though they did not say whose. The real story: the podcast crowd doing each other's promo instead of waiting on a platform push. The Gomez cosign is the notable part, since he is not usually quiet about what he does not like.
Landau’s special incredible! Give it. Watch!
Our boys in blue are up to some kooky stuff these days
Hibachi hot dogs! Go watch the new spesh.

Legion of Skanks books @nottjmiller and @Mrjimflorentine at The Stand
Legion of Skanks posted twice that @nottjmiller and @Mrjimflorentine are doing a live episode at The Stand in NYC, with a ticket link both times. No date was given in the posts. The real story: a live taping with two guests, announced and on sale, nothing more.
Adam Ray tells a fan not to pay resale prices for a sold out show
A fan sent Adam Ray a screenshot of ticket pricing and Ray told him to skip it, saying the show sold out a while ago and the listing was overpriced resale. It is a small exchange but a rare case of a comic waving fans off a sale.
Jeff Dye issues a formal apology to an AI dog
Dye wrote a full mock apology for laughing at an AI video of animals riding in a car driven by a dog, complete with a promise to reflect on his mistakes, and tagged it #archmanning. He has been on an AI kick for a while now.
