I hadn't heard of this guy before about a week ago, and haven't listened to any of his sets. However, I just bought a ticket to his event because I think it's awesome that he's making a massive financial commitment to his own artistic integrity. I also think there's something to be said for artists attempting to have more control over their work.

Good luck, Andrew!

Edit: Watching the live event now. Funny af. Best $15 I spent this week.

More podcasts with comedians! I love this. Comedy will save us all. The non-PC kind.

Ok I laughed out loud at the abortion joke--can't believe *that* was the deal breaker.

I really liked this interview specifically because it sheds light on the business aspects of comedy

Bari,

Why do you think comedy has been so neutered by the PC set? You worked amongst them so I’m sure you have some insight as to why they tend to be humorless (unless laughing at Trump or Trump voters anyways). Blazing Saddles, All in The Family etc were very funny but of course used language that would be verboten today despite the fact that the bigots were who we as the audience were truly making fun of.

Given that I subscribe to three comedy podcasts (and listen to them religiously) I'm stunned that I've never heard of Andrew Schulz. But good on him for standing up for freedom of expression. I hope that more follow his example.

Bari Weiss, the Jewish Barry White! LOL! Reminds me of when I was growing up in the 60's - I loved Neil Diamond - the Jewish Elvis :)

Hysterical, more like this! Never heard of him, but will get his special.

Really enjoyed this one. It's nice to have a good laugh about the craziness in politics today.

Who did Andrew say the funniest comic was of all time? I couldn't catch the name.

'What is power.' Related to both Bari and Andrew's comment.... My wife (when dating) made a comment to me that comes into play with how I deal with the hate and ignorance of the woke, cancel culture, MSM, fake street anger.... of today when she said, "it took me a while to realize you weren't going to fight back with me" when she wanted to argue. I choose to disarm the fools by not engaging them (online or otherwise). Don't feed to wildlife.

Crude and nothing funny in my opinion. At least as far as I was able to watch.

I'm kind of disturbed Bari Weiss is going along with Schulz's (almost certain) lie that he spent his life saving getting the rights back for this material. The story doesn't even make sense. He won't give any details, and somehow he's in a contract that requires him to LOSE MONEY to the streaming service he had a contract with.

And Bari, who is supposedly a journalist, doesn't even bother to ask basis questions.

Big thumbs down.

It's so weird to me because Amazon has shows like The Boys and Netflix/Hulu has American Horror Story ... but a comedian can't make an abortion joke?

Anyway, yes, more laughs please.

Hey, Real America respects you all going out on your own and taking a risk, regardless of political alignment - that is who We are. BRING GOOD COMEDY BACK, brother! You will win. Like Bari.

I loved this episode! I laughed the whole way through. Please do more of these!

Andrew's content is great, but where he really shines is his unfiltered interaction with the audience. He just has so much fun, that regardless of how offensive the things he says are, it's obvious it's all in good humor.
