Johnny Mac reports Deadline’s take on Netflix Is a Joke saying a comedy insider feels public buzz is low and ticket sales show “haves and have-nots,” with white-hot acts and others downsizing venues selling best amid heavy competition and a tough economy; sold-out or added shows include Gianmarco Soresi, Jeff Curry, Robbie Hoffman, Matt Rife, Jacqueline Novak, and Joel Kim Booster, with podcasts also doing well. He previews the Moontower Comedy Festival (April 7–18) featuring Mark Maron, Kathy Griffin, Roy Wood Jr., and Austin comic Angelina Martin’s “Slide in the DMs.” H He mentions the final season of “Hacks” and Jean Smart’s reaction to its ending, highlights Melbourne Fest comics Henry Yan and Jenny Tian, and announces Scott Aukerman’s Comedy Bang!
