Louis CK on the problem with Gay People
They the Geniuses and We the Small PressJFL: Tosh, CK and Izzard are coming - here's what we know
By Gaëtan L. Charlebois
Ah! Just For Laughs and the small press! It truly is a love/indifference relationship. In two decades of working for Mirror, Hour and now CharPo, my editors and I have done a fuckload of bended-kneeing before the giant. Interviews with the stars of the fest for us were always dangled but - oops! - suddenly we were tea-bagging as the stars were "not doing a lot of press" (ie: and the little they are doing will certainly not be with you!).
And even then...I was promised an interview with a British comic who insisted I be available at 5 am our time (10 his) but, don't you know, the putz had partied the night before and, needless to say, never called. Did JFL care? Not a whit. These are the ways of comics, non?
