Recently I became a comedy promoter, aswell as, just your average run of the mill comedian. And it occurs that comedians hate promoters, and generally i'm picking up a lot of disdain for comedians from the promoters camp as well.
However, I can't claim to be alone in my convern, as most other promoters are also comedians, so they can languish in the self-satisfaction that they are seeing the feud with the benefit of seeing it from both sides. Not true. However, I am wondering if being used to this ambidextrousness myself, will make me any better or worse a promoter or comedian. I don't want to sell my sould obviously but there are a lot more sharks in the promoter pool, as it were, than the comedian pool.
That said I did once get graffitied backstage at the Stand for being "An AIDS ridden shit as fuck cunt"
which was illuminating, but I took delight in the fact the guy was so angry he just felt threatened and that's why it was so harsh, they maybe felt threatened, it's a small pool.
Anyways, so as for malice, and evil, they're fairly equal-standing.
I'll get you a picture of the graffiti, just a sec...
