Alright, you are back with comedian, baby boyl and I'm quitting alcohol. So the accolades are stunned to pour in. You are listening to the Genie Johnson pub open mic winner 2026 of set of the night last night at the open mic. I just want to thank everyone who has ever supported me, who believed in me, even the people who don't believe in me. They wrote something on Spotify saying I have no talent. Well, who won the Genie Johnson pub open mic last night huh? Who sat there for fucking 22? 7 minute fucking sets and then comes
on and fucking just lights it up. That's right, you man boyl did one on a what an accolade. I can retire happy now. I've achieved everything that I ever needed to. I ever wanted to. I got a little trophy and I got a $25 gift card. Well, not a $25 gift card. It was a $25 voucher to the bar which I tried to give to a couple of the black comedians. I was like, I don't fucking drink so you boys can have it and they both didn't drink. And so I gave it to some full blown alcoholic at the bar. Some Boston dude, Boston heart, no teeth, thick accent. I think he wanted to do a set because he goes it's discrimination here. They just want gay people on. It was a gay bar. So fucking it was so goddamn funny. These two black guys, just young comedians, they were pretty good.
You can learn so much just of black comedians confidence, even the young ones, even the ones that fucking have just started out. They're ultra confident. Anyway, this fucking the second dude comes on and he's doing well. He's got some really good materials, some shit about fucking how good pussy is. Pussy so good that all make you a stepdad which is such a good premise. Anyway, he's doing well and then he goes on to this fucking stuff about, forget her name. I haven't been following this story at all. The Clancy one, the one about the lady who killed three of her children. I haven't even read one article. I haven't seen anything. All my information is coming from open mic comedians because every single one of them has a bit on it. So I'm getting the news from open mic comedians. That's how I know about that story. I don't know anything else about it. Anyway, he goes
into some material. He's got like 30 seconds left. He's had a great set. He goes into this material and then he says something about there was a go fund me started for that raised five million dollars and some white chick at the bar goes that was for the husband or that was for the man. I don't know if it was a husband. I just said that. It was for the man. She said and the black goes wasn't and he got like flustered. He only has like 25 seconds left now. Everything's fine. He's killed it. He's had one of the best sets of the night and then the white girl goes well it was for the man. I'm not going to just let you stand up there and talk shit and then the comedian goes. It's comedy. It doesn't have to be true and then
and then she said something else and he called her a fat bitch and then a gay dude at the bar and there's like 15 seconds left. There's 10 seconds left. It went from like a great set to just out of control in 10 seconds. A gay dude said something. It wasn't bad what the gay dude said. He just made like a noise or something and then the black dude started going off at the gay dude and there was a bit of two in throw with the white chick in the gay dude and this black comedian and then the gay dude said something else which wasn't even bad but the black comedian's already lost his shit and then he goes can someone put a dick in that guy's mouth to shut the fuck up and then he puts and I thought I was like I was laughing my head off. I was like that's so fucking funny. He's completely lost the plot in the last 20 seconds and then
as he's putting the mic in the mic stand he goes fucking faggot and walks off and I'm sitting next to the other black comedian who was on him before on before him and we're just laughing our heads off because it was so fucking funny. He's just completely blown it up and it turns out we're in a fucking gay bar. I didn't know that. The host is gay half the comedians were gay and it makes sense that we're in a gay bar. Once you thought about and you're like oh yeah this is a gay bar and so the host comes over and says you can't say faggot in here. You can't say the f word and he's like okay and then the guy he called faggot comes over and he's like what are you doing? This is a gay bar you call him people faggot.
Hedean goes the comedian goes I didn't know you were gay. He's like yes you did. He's like no I know I do you gay I just said faggot like this and that and then that guy walked away I'm like dude before you actually said faggot you're like can someone put a dick in that guy's mouth? So obviously he was gay and so I'm laughing with these two guys that were fun dudes had a chat with them and I'm looking at the gay dudes at the other end of the bar and they're sort of looking over you man who was calling people faggets and then there's there was one dude another black dude a gay dude and he was looking over because I was sitting with those two black comedians and he was looking over at us and he was like staring like death staring us
while he was eating this red lollipop it was the scariest shit I've ever seen in my entire life he's just over there calmly eating this red lollipop and he looks like he wants to fucking mow down our whole fucking table at the start I was like oh that's a dude over there eating a lollipop I didn't pay any attention I just glanced and saw a lollipop and then like 10 minutes later he's still staring at us eating the lollipop I was the only one to notice I'm like this is fucking sketchy if you want to scare the fuck out of someone just eat a red lollipop and also it helps if you're black it does help if you're black to be fair if you're just a white guy eating a lollipop you just look like a white guy in a gay bar eating a lollipop wishing it was a dick if you're a jet black guy with no facial expressions death staring a table eating a red lollipop a little bit
different feels a little bit different anyway I got up and I was like latest boys I'll catch you at the next open mic I need to bask in the glory of this win anyway fucking oh just baby steps baby baby steps but this American materials coming along nicely oh my god it's just fucking work work work anyway fucking that'll do it for tonight enjoy the rest of your weekend and I'll see you the final day later
