David Boyle is back with another candid episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', and this time he's got a bone to pick with the comedy world. Boyle takes no prisoners as he rants about the unsettling camaraderie between comedians, politicians, and billionaires. He finds it nauseating to see comedians like Joe Rogan, Tim Dillon, and Tony Hinchcliffe getting chummy with political figures and wealthy elites.
Boyle argues that true comedians should remain outsiders, calling out the powerful rather than joining their ranks. He praises Bill Burr for staying true to his roots by challenging both sides of the political spectrum, unlike others who play it safe to protect their status. Boyle also takes a swipe at the 'naughty boy' persona that some comedians adopt, criticising it as hackneyed and insincere.
He reminisces about the days when comedy was raw and authentic, highlighting Rory Scoville as an example of a comedian who still embodies the art form's true spirit. This episode is a rollercoaster of emotions, blending humour with biting criticism. If you're tired of the mainstream comedy scene and yearn for some unfiltered honesty, this episode is for you.
