Since Texas is now actively a transphobic hellscape, I’m going to focus on the fact that Joseph and his merry band of Waffle House enthusiasts are essentially here to do the propaganda work of the Texas governor like all real outlaws do. His sets are these strangely angry performances where he seems to actively hate the audience for showing up, which is coincidently how I feel about folks who enable bad comedians and their persecution complexes. Five minutes on his Twitter account makes it clear that the “demented jester” is a shallow, humorless dude with less stage presence than the brick wall behind him.
“The Riot Presents Sick Fux” is an evening hosted by Los Angeles comedian Ryan Joseph, a man who tells jokes in exactly the same pissy tone of voice that grackles use to claim ownership of a dropped French fry. At least then, the bacterial muck ends up in the trash instead of your eardrums.
When you see an advertisement heralding the arrival of “dark comedy,” and the poster involves people who all pass as white and are mostly men, you can put your money on the evening being the sort of thing that makes you wish you’d stayed home and attended to an infected wound instead.
