What did Lee Syatt share about his experience at the Saratoga Comedy Festival?
Kick this motherfucking meal lee. What's up, you bad motherfuckers? Uncle Joey here. It's Tuesday, September 15th, the halfway mark. It's the church of what's happening now. New edition. I'm here with my main man, Johnny Hitler, fresh off the Saratoga comedy circuit. He's like one of those dogs up there. You know what I'm saying? With the dog.
No, that horse track is open like three weeks a year. Wow.
That's good. You make it part of that. Let's go to the track at four. Yeah, that would have been good. How was the Saratoga Comedy Fest?
It was great. It was a lot of fun. I had a lot of fun with other comics. Every like all of our guys were there. Danny Braff was there. Pedro was there. Tim Rajer from from uh Uncle Vinny's was there. Uh I got to see I learned a lot. I got to see Bobby Kelly, who's one of my favorites. Uh that's Chr a couple people from Austin. It was a lot it it's like one of the first times I've been asked. The second time I've been asked to do a festival. So just It was just very cool to do. Um, I've been I love that I don't know that I'm sure this happened to you when you were doing when you were starting. I've gone up to Saratoga probably fifteen times in the last three or four years. So like I know the area a little bit, I know the good restaurants, the people are sweet.
Oh, trust me. Yeah. Oh, th I I know where the horses that lose are there was the the food's not great. Restaurants are, you know everything. But it was um it was a lot of fun, dude. It was I heard you had a a wild and exciting night last night. Yeah, but let's get back to uh
the second question. 'Cause this is the most important thing when you do those. You know, and some people like, well, it was uh The experience was mind bloggling. Some people like, I'll never do it again. Yeah. So it's interesting what you learned. Like you just said that you watched Danny Kelly and Kylie Canaan and Bobby Kelly. I'm sorry.
It w them i it it's To see the difference, you know, 'cause there were there were like newer comics there that I've done it for a little bit longer than, but then to see like Bobby Kelly went to h his show pretty much ended the festival. And Just to see how he starts off with crowd work and how he the weaving and out and look like just basically the confidence. So for me, there was a few people I got to see, a few of the bigger shows I went to go watch. I learned I learned a lot about putting a show together.
A set, like a forty five minute
set. No, I well I meant like producing. Producing like producing a show, like what you need, the lineups. Uh and then yeah, building a set too. I was actually th I was thinking about that. Um
And I got I did I had a I did three shows. Uh some of them had more people than others, but it was fun. I th we were talking about this a couple of weeks ago, I think about people who like get all high and mighty about doing a show for like five people. I had two shows with about five people and they were some of my favorite shows I've had in the
We do Wednesdays at the dojo for forty people and it's like you're at the garden.
Yeah.
It lets you connect a little bit more with them. There's lease people, there's less energy. In the room 'cause there's uh, you know, you're working with forty people. So it's a harder draw, but once you get on a roll, it's a different type of role. Yeah. Forty is where I learned at the store. That's you know, that's why I remember big going up at the store like any other young comic. I went down there and there was nothing, you know, there was eight people and fucked. First off, like Brian Holstree one told me, he goes, You don't you don't want to do your set at midnight? six people, put a sign outside. You're gonna get three hundred signatures to be you. Now you don't wanna do it. And that made a lot of sense.
And that's why I really learned how to work Small crowds into big crowds. Yeah. That's why whenever I go to the mothership or that's why we all fell in love with that room in Pasadena. Oh, the ice house. The ice house, the little room. You know, we could have done shows in the big room.
