The era we live in is overflowing with nauseating horse shit.

Ita half the reason I moved out of Brooklyn

The other half was your shitty apartment was too close to a school

maybe when i first got there but its too much and no nature

a safe space with diverse programming

What does diversity even have to do with this? Stop using liberal buzzwords to stay on their good side. If your “diverse” performers are uncomfortable with Louis being there, that says more about their own weakness and refusal to hear people who disagree with them than it does about Louis.

I like that they're deplatforming a Mexican Jew in the name of diversity.

Faggots

Fucking hipster faggots, apologizing for a happy audience and a great set. Luis seems like a meat head idiot but I'm sure if he actually started his own comedy venue in the city, which doesn't seem too unrealistic, it would quickly become one of the major NYC comic hotspots. Especially so if these shitholes are his competition.

That's a good fucking idea.

Louis and Luis creating the GAS Comedy Club would be so fucking cool.

There it is. I would shout Luis but I forget his Reddit handle. It's PR rattle snake, or something.

u/ThePRRattleSnake

He's brought it up before, he's going to call it "The N-Ward"

which doesn't seem too unrealistic

LOL, really? So you think Gomez is going to walk into a bank and get a loan for $5million or whatever the hell you’d need to open up a place in NYC?

Well first off it's not 5 million, and second, if these no name faggots can do it then why can't he? Even if its in Brooklyn or the better part of the Bronx I think it would do very well. The guy has proven that he's highly capable, unlike 99% of people working in the comedy industry, Skankfest is quickly evolving from hack Sherrod Small and Kurt Metzger sets to being one of the most popular comedy events of the year, especially on the East coast. Him getting people comfortable enough to invest in a comedy club is not much of a stretch.

They probably rent the space so that would leave the some problem. And who is going to loan him money for this? Same problem.

The only way to do it is to get one or more people with money to bankroll it. This would have been the perfect thing for Cumia to do back when he first got fired and he had money and goodwill. Or maybe if Luis hadn’t shit on Opie he could have made a partner out of him.

That or maybe the comics who have been crying about PC culture could put their money where their mouth is and open a place like that. Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Kevin Hart, etc. they could do it easily.

He wouldn't get a loan that big but it's really not a stretch that he would be able to do that. He's a businessman with property and people on his payroll. Why are you acting like getting a fucking loan is rocket science?

I didn’t say it’s rocket science. It’s LJG we’re talking about and look at the response to this shit. What bank is going to involve themselves in this?

Personally I think Gomez could probably pull it off but some Bank of America loan officer may not agree with that. He would need to convince some rich person or group who is supportive of the idea to give him the money.

Banks don’t have political affiliations unless you’re talking about bail out status.

What in the fuck are you talking about?

They're responding to your asinine assertion that a bank wouldn't "involve themselves" in an investment in a comedy club because they'd absurdly be worried about backlash.

They absolutely do but I don't think Luis is "toxic" enough that he would scare away any banks. There have been a few instances of financial institutions closing the accounts of controversial figures lately.

"We don't lend money to spics."-JerkStore Bank

How do you think it would go? He’d be like Buck in Boogie Nights trying to get a loan for his stereo store.

You know that GAS Digital stands for "Gomez and Sutton", with Sutton being some trust fund guy who invested in the network, right?

So if he's found one sucker to invest in his nonsense (well, two - Anthony paid for a lot of the early Legion of Skanks episodes, and then gave them royalty-free to GAS) how likely is it that he'd be able to do it again?

Yes that’s what I’m suggesting. He would need to find someone or a group of people with money to bankroll it. He wouldn’t be able to go the traditional route. He’d have to find some likeminded rich people, like famous comedians, to join with him.

Shit, sorry - I replied to the wrong comment.

You're right about funding. I keep thinking of that "Jumping Around" guy - he's a dentist who loves standup enough to do it and write about it. I'm not saying he's got the money, but I bet there's some straight-laced professionals out there who do have the money and are regretting their life choices. Investing in a club that's rebelling against the status quo with a scumbag like Luis would scratch that itch while providing a polite excuse ("it's an investment").

What bank is going to involve themselves in this?

Banks are some of the shittiest, amoral, and apolitical institutions on earth. Banks have been, are, and will be in business with some of the cruelest governments and regimes of all times. Banks only go by one question: does it look like they can make money doing it? If the answer is Yes, they'll do it. It'd be for a fucking comedy club, not a KKK banquet hall for fisting child corpses. And if the KKK wanted to open such a place and put together some impressive charts, there would be a bank out there to loan them that money.

If they were going to make millions like they do laundering money for fucking drug cartels then sure, he’d find someone to go along. But they’re not, it’s the fucking Luis J Gomez comedy club, it’s risky.

Sitting on billions of oil reserves or literal gold mines sure you can get a loan to buy a new g7 as a corrupt despotic government. Luis Gomez’s Fico score of 510 and collateral consisting of big jays fingerless gloves and Dave smiths poem on the Austrian school of economics he copied from some freshman at George mason isn’t getting bank rolled to open a risky venture like an anti pc comedy club

Someone gets it

His podcast network is worth “x” amount of money, big jay oakerson is rich, Ari is rich, CK is rich. Not that difficult to get a lease and a liquor license in NYC.

Are you for real retarded?

1. Big Jay is not rich
2. Ari is nowhere close to rich
3. Who is going to lease to them and put up with this shit? If they can find someone who will do it, great but that will not be easy.
4. You morons are way underestimating what it costs to run a business like this. There is a reason GAS employs a bunch of pathetic interns who are willing to work for nothing.

5 million or whatever

fucking financial advisor over here

It cost a million bucks to open a fucking McDonald’s. Tell me what it would be to have a good comedy club in NYC

Yeah franchises are different you fucking dope, you end up paying for their brand and assistance and all sorts of other shit. Also good work walking back your dumb shit from 5 million to 1 million. In a couple more comments you'll be at 160k.

I said it’s a million for McDonald’s so I would expect it to be a lot more to buy the real estate and then open a club in New York. We’re not talking about some shithole in Long Island City, it would have to be relatively big and nice if you want people of Louie CKs caliber to play it.

Most venues dont buy their space especially if it is in another building. They do leases. Its cheaper. Franchises typically build an entirely new thing and have to set up electrical and plumbing. Every comedy venue I've ever been in really only has to worry about liquor licenses but they're all set up as glorified restaurants and they're not buying a space for life. That's why when they shut down they shut down so fast.

No shit they normally do leases. Tell me who is going to lease space to the people who do Skankfest right now? Who is going to loan him money to set this up?

It’s fucking lame but no legitimate businesses want to be involved with them, that’s why they advertise Blue Chew and fucking drug paraphernalia on their show and not Budweiser. The only way he’d be able to do it is independently and that takes a lot of money.

No shit they normally do leases. Tell me who is going to lease space to the people who do Skankfest right now? Who is going to loan him money to set this up?

Okay so now you are shifting your argument to "who would loan them money?" Here's an idea: people who like making money. I get that you live in a poor person's world and don't understand how money works, but anyone who reads the news knows that Louis CK is bringing in money. He's not a dead name. And if he is connected to Luis, they can look at his other business venture and realize that at least his business partner would be involved.

Second thing: you keep assuming they need to borrow money. You keep coming back to this as some sort of gotcha. They probably woouldn't need one, between the two of them. Especially if it is a joint venture with the podcast network and they could even crowdfund this. Imagine if every GAS Digital subscriber who helps launch it gets one free ticket once a month (at least) and their name on that wall. Everyone can lick my nuts if they think people wouldn't be throwing money at that.

You're fucking welcome Luis, I just gave you a winning idea cause this guy doesn't know the difference between The Comedy Store and a Pizza Hut off the freeway.

Okay so now you are shifting your argument to "who would loan them money?" Here's an idea: people who like making money. It would be a good bet for any investor because ever since Dangerfield's I struggle to think of any comedy club that has been so aggressively connected to popular comedians, and that would have value.

And if he is connected to Luis, they can look at his other business venture and realize that at least his business partner would be involved. I'm going to make an argument for you now: "but why doesn't everyone else do it then?" Because you need a truly dedicated club manager, you need someone who loves managing talent. You need someone comedians love and want to work with. Nobody wants to do that. It's where they could find an opportunity,

You’re a legitimate fucking idiot.

If everyone knows that Louie CK makes money then why do his shows get cancelled all over the place? Because they think it’s not worth it to put up with all the protests and twitter shaming. I think that’s lame as shit but that’s the way it is.

And you think Gomez and Sutton have the money right now to open up a club without borrowing any money? Are you fucking high? I’m pretty sure Luis still says he’s go do a show anywhere for $500 if you pay for his travel. Does that sound like a guy who has a lot of money?

I think it would be great if he could get this going and I’d gladly buy a ticket to the first show but you’re out of your damn mind if you think regular business people are going to go along with it.

If everyone knows that Louie CK makes money then why do his shows get cancelled all over the place?

They aren't. All the articles are just saying how pissed off everyone is that they're not being cancelled.

And you think Gomez and Sutton have the money right now to open up a club without borrowing any money?

I never said they need to do it right now you illiterate nigger. In a year Louis will be back on top. He could sell his boat and bankroll the entire thing. I love how you've had to walk back your argument 3 times by this point, remember you started by saying they need 5 mill and to actually own the land they apparently build a club on.

I think it would be great if he could get this going and I’d gladly buy a ticket to the first show but you’re out of your damn mind if you think regular business people are going to go along with it.

The fact you say "regular business people" is such a hilariously poor dipshit thing to say.

Holy fuck are you dumb. Of course Louis CK could do it but that’s not who we’re talking about.

I said Gomez would have to get a loan to be able to do it, otherwise get some rich comedian(s) to bankroll it. Try to keep up.

Holy fuck are you dumb. Of course Louis CK could do it but that’s not who we’re talking about.

It is 100% what we are talking about you fucking idiot. You started by saying they need 5 mill and a bunch of investment capital from outsiders to do it. I explained, in detail, why they don't.

I said Gomez would have to get a loan to be able to do it, otherwise get some rich comedian(s) to bankroll it. Try to keep up.

This was never about Gomez doing it himself. I never once said that. Once again, you are trying to maneuver yourself around the provably retarded shit you have said and are purposefully ignoring things I have said.

Look at my original comment that you are replying to, I said Gomez going to a bank to get $5M to buy his own place. I didn’t say shit about needing more than that or Louie CK not being able to do it. Getting investors such as CK was the alternative to Gomez having to go get loans. Nice reading, stupid.

I think it would be great if he could get this going and I’d gladly buy a ticket to the first show but you’re out of your damn mind if you think regular business people are going to go along with it.

If you don't think there are hundreds if not thousands of rich bros who would invest in Louis CK, who sells out shows in minutes, then you are completely retarded.

You're also acting like $5 million (which is way higher than they'd need to start a goddamned comedy club) is an insane amount of money. It's not. Even awful comedians like Sebastian Maniscalso are worth millions. LJG would need to work to find investors, but he could absolutely do it.

If it’s as easy as all of you act like it is then why hasn’t he done it? You don’t think he would like to have his own club?

Using a franchise as a barometer of price.

From Opie

Good idea if he hadn’t already burned that bridge.

Luis J Gomez is now becoming notorious in the comedy world. Him opening a club would be a great idea, money wise could be a problem but I don't think a small venue is 5 million

It’s a number I pulled randomly from nowhere. However much it costs he doesn’t have it or he would have done this by now.

Hey doggie, you reading this shit? It's /u/ThePRRattlesnake right? This would be a great next step for your brand

It's easier to apologize than never need to. They're giving the babies their bottle, but it doesn't mean they intend to take it away in an hour. In contrast, there's no particular benefit in not offering some empty words.

The benefit of not caving to the mob is that you display your integrity, show that you’re willing to stand for something and that you refuse to contribute to a culture that indulges the most fragile, most easily offended elements. By apologising you cede power to them. Tell them to go fuck themselves or ignore them and you show them you won’t be cowed by their pressure. Just because the toddler throws a tantrum it doesn’t mean they get their way.

And what's the cash value on that?

You get the audience that doesn’t bend over for the sjw shit as your loyal customers. You become the venue that hosts interesting acts that other venues are too scared to host. If you’re a venue with that reputation in a city like NY you’ve got a built-in audience desperate for that type of entertainment.

So if thiis place books Louis CK next month, and now all his fans refuse to go? Or do just people who weren't going to anyway because they're busy raging on the internet that and every night not go?

They wouldn’t feel the need to release a statement like they did if they were likely to book him.

You think CK would do this club again? He obviously did it for the festival itself, not for the "ironically" grimy comedy club. CK's going to make a real deal comeback in the very near future, check his website out and you'll see what I mean, hints of a new special and a big tour. Doing this vigilante, surprise appearance shit will be a thing of the past.

Skankfest (who actually had the balls to book Louis, not the venue) packed out multiple rooms at the joint all weekend. The biggest complaint about Skankfest on the LOS sub is that it's overcrowded.

Now, I don't know the dollar value of serving overpriced food and drinks to a standing room only crowd, but I imagine it's pretty good.

Since when is capitalism built on integrity? They want to make money, they don’t give a shit about appeasing anyone other than the people that are going to give them money and id imagine a comedy club in Brooklyn probably has a primarily liberal douche audience.

We’re not just talking about one club courting a particular audience here though, there’s been a string of clubs apologising for or just cancelling Louis appearances. At some point one of them has to summon the guts to allow him to perform without falling over themselves to say sorry immediately afterwards.

Tbh im guessing 99% of the time these liberal faggots are their customers. The other side will still go them if they apologise because they dont care about it.

“brooklynnvegan” not clicking that link.

remember that lady who was sharing a public gym with him said she was frightened by his him being there? it's just click bait bullshit.

I'd like to croak that bitch

Make sure you jerk off in front of her without her permission before the kill.

Imagine being afraid of fat, small-dicked Louis CK. Women are idiots.

that's what I'm saying. he's less threatening than Jim.

To be fair, Jim has actually raped a woman. Louis has not.

"Women are idiots. Get over it."

It’s just “I’m a victim” attention seeking bullshit.

Skankfest 2020 is going to have to be on a boat out in international waters I think

Like that movie Pirate Radio. Would love to see Opie steer that ship. We know he loves the ocean.

Would probably look more like that tanker in waterworld

Captain of the boat apologize for Louis CK surprise appearance

we would also like to apologize to the Music Department because they have put a lot of effort into making Brooklyn Bazaar a safe space with diverse programming

They make it sound like Louis is capable of raping anyone at anytime. No one is safe from this monster!

Made it sound like he could rape them into being white

"we would like to apologize that everyone in attendance had a good time and enjoyed the performance"

you have to be fucking kidding me. I hope the Russians really do bring down this country. we deserve to be destroyed for what we have become.

🤡🌎

Just gonna point out that there was an actual sexual assault by Ari Shaffir that was caught on camera, but these virtue-signalling dunces don't care - they'd rather whine about Louis.

"the venue had no prior knowledge that his performance would occur" what a load of fucking bullshit. It's Louis CK. He didn't put on Clark Kent glasses and blend into a crowd, everyone knows who he is whether they like or dislike him. The venue knew it would make a shit ton of money having him there, and now they're trying to pander to the other side who hate him by acting oblivious. Fuckin New York pansies

Why would the venue know? Luis runs the show, he books who he wants. Of course they could have snuck him in via limousine

Reading that limp-wristed apology actually made me angry. It's all so tiresome.
