Semi-Famous (In Iowa): A Stand Up Comedy Documentary - Geoffrey Asmus
Рет қаралды 25,161
Күн бұрынTwo years ago I did a stand up comedy tour in Iowa and my friend Tucker Brookshire filmed a short documentary about our journey. The shows were sparsely attended and honestly it was a pretty depressing and humbling experience.
Fast forward two years and I returned to the Iowa corn fields for a series of sold-out shows among my adoring Midwestern fans in Milwaukee, Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, Omaha and Lincoln. All because an Instagram reel about a Catholic prayer went viral last September. All hail the algorithm and god bless stand-up comedy.
This time around Tucker filmed another banger documentary about my come up and journey in stand up comedy. Tucker did a stellar job. The documentary is heartwarming, funny and well-done. Give it a watch. Come to a show. Get ready for my stand up comedy special “The Only Funny White Man” next Thursday July 20th at 8 pm eastern.

The subscriber list stacks pretty fast. The first 25k are the hardest to get. The higher you go, the faster it gets. He'll have 100k soon. People love to jump on once they see the high number. Thats why its easier to go from 1m to 2m than from 0 to 25k.

@dennisprivett5707 Жыл бұрын
Same for me, and a short I got from Mark in my algorithm. And I just saw him on we might be drunk, an alpha with the big dogs. He's gonna blow up more soon, it's his intelligence that's holding him back. He's too smart for the audience's he's been attracting. Some of the missed laughs are so confusing, it's like even when he aims eye level it goes over heads because they duck....

Great little documentary, Geoffrey. You made me decide not to pursue any kind of stand-up comedy as a career, because I just don't want that traveling lifestyle at my age (50). Therefore, I'm triple happy that someone as effing talented as you put in the work to give us better jokes than anyone else in stand-up today. I really hope you finally blow up and get the massive recognition and career that you deserve. Thanks so much!

Cool to watch. I've noticed he's been starting to sell out and didn't realize the instagram bit went viral. Saw he was picking up steam and have been enjoying the shorts/reels.
