Jules Posner: Comedian

This week I will be opening for Headliner Chelsea Peretti (Parks and Recreation, Louie, Kroll Show) with feature Randy Liedtke at the San Francisco Punchline. You can buy your tickets punchlinecomedyclub.com! I’ll be performing with them Wednesday through Saturday, and I’ll be hosting the Sunday Showcase to wrap up the week.

It’s been almost two weeks since Fall Out Boy announced they would be getting back together and for whatever the fuck reason, we are still hearing about it. But in the grand scheme of music news, this should’ve been filed at the very top of the who-gives-a-fuck pile. Here’s why.

1. Three Years Isn’t A Hiatus

Fall Out Boy announced they were going on hiatus in November 2009. That’s barely over three years ago. Three years isn’t a hiatus. There are currently active bands better than Fall Out Boy who haven’t put out material in longer than that. Dillinger Four hasn’t released new material since 2008. Or how about this: My Bloody Valentine put out an album this year which was their first in 22 years. Can you comprehend how long 22 years is, Fall Out Boy fans? It’s longer than Fall Out Boy’s manager wants you to believe Pete Wentz has been alive. Pete is actually 33 fucking years old and still tweets shit like this:

when girls aren’t listening to you they say things like “aw” when you’re done talking. guys just look at their phones. we need our “aw” word

I’m disappointed in the Niners loss. People may think that non holding call was bull shit, but what was really bull shit was the Niners pass defense. Just like last year against the Giants, the Niners got shredded by an outstanding passer. Flacco picked the Niners apart, much like Eli did last year. The Niners fought hard, but didn’t play better. The game is 4 quarters long, one non call didn’t lose them the game.

The Niners have a very highly regarded defense, but it’s not very well deserved. Sure they’ve got great individual players, and are hellacious against the run, but their secondary got exposed last year and got exposed again this year. They were elite, but the league has caught up to them. People seem to overlook the Niners ranked 23rd in the league on pass defense this season. Really not that great. I’m not a huge numbers guy when it comes to forecasting games, but I am a numbers guy when it comes to games played because those are what actually happened on the field as opposed to what could happen. The Niners pass defense even got beaten up in wins. Just look:

Drew Brees 2011 Divisional in SF: 40/63 462 yards 4 TD’s 2 INT’s

Eli Manning 2011 NFC Championship in SF: 32/58 316 yards 2 TD’s 0 INT

Aaron Rodgers 2012 Divisional in SF: 26/39 257 yards 2 TD’s 1 INT

Matt Ryan 2012 NFC Championship in ATL: 30/42 396 yards 3 TD’s 1 INT

Joe Flacco 2012 Super Bowl in NO: 22/33 287 yards 3 TD’s 0 INT

The Niners surrendered more than 250 yards each of these games. The Niners pass defense definitely is not getting enough blame for this loss. Each win was an offense fueled comeback resulting from the defense not getting it done. The hype of Carlos Rogers’ resurgence, and those “ball hawking” safeties really never showed up. Chris Culliver drew a lot of attention to himself leading up to the Super Bowl and he got humiliated on the biggest stage. Probably deserved it too. Terrell Brown played lights out and even forced the only Niners turnover of the game. The Niners need to address this secondary and ask themselves “Are these guys really that good?”. No. They are not.

The Niners did fight hard and I’m very proud to be Niners fan yesterday, today, and every day. If you are one, you should be too. If you’re kind of one, or became one over the course of the playoffs, you can go fuck yourself. Niners, bitch.

Last night, I reached a huge milestone in my young comedy career. Most comics don’t make such a big deal about it, but it is a very big deal to me. I hope that I’m not inciting jealousy in anyone who hasn’t gotten their opportunity to audition for work at the Punch, but that opportunity will come in due time. This is not a boastful posting, and I’m not bragging about my accomplishment. I am writing this out of humility and gratitude. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone, because I am too lazy to thank everyone individually. Yesterday afternoon, as I was dry heaving over my toilet, welling up with tears, and being a nervous wreck, the constant vibration of my phone, the fb chat sound, the notification module lighting up, the tweets, the phone calls, and the texts got me through my day. I truly felt everyone’s support. You are the ones who I do comedy for. I can not state enough how loved and supported I felt yesterday. Getting an audition is a very long and time consuming process, but with some patience, it finally came. I want to thank every comic who has encouraged me throughout the years, or put their reputation on the line to get me booked, all the bookers who took a chance on me, every friend who spent their hard earned money or put in the effort to come out to my shows, every friend who I’ve found through doing comedy, my family for not ruling me out as a complete psychopath when I decided to pursue stand-up and everyone else in between. I love you all very much and I thank you.

Love,

Jules

Altogether, there are 40 comedians for Just For Laughs Montreal’s 2012 class of the New Faces of Comedy. Divided up into New Faces, New Faces: Characters, and New Faces: Unrepped, we watched all three groups put their best comedic foot forward. For your ease, we’ll give you a quick rundown of highlights of the funniest stuff we saw of what very well might be, as the festival suggests, the future of comedy.
