Gen Z slang is rife with new words like "unalive," "skibidi" and "rizz." Where do these words come from — and how do they get popular so fast? Linguist Adam Aleksic explores how the forces of social media algorithms are reshaping the way people talk and view their very own identities.

Syrian comedian Badr Laffar (@badr.comedy) joins Ariel (@ariel.bialski) and Jordan (@jordanthomasgray) to discuss truth in standup. How much of a standup story has to be true, if any? Can you lie about surviving 9/11 if it gets laughs? Does it matter that Bo Burnham was living with his girlfriend and dog while filming Inside? Does Ariel have diarrhea? The gang tackles these questions and many others in this titillating new episode. The Comedy Hole (@thecomedyhole) is run by Beatrice Rossano (@beatricerossano), Jordan Thomas Gray (@jordanthomasgray), and Ariel Bialski (@arielbialski) - three standup comedians and comedy show hosts based in Warsaw, Poland. The Comedy Hole hosts standup open mics on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in Warsaw, and we also produce standup shows in English all over Europe. In addition to standup, Ariel Bialski (@arielbialski) DJs every week in Warsaw. Follow his instagram to find out about the next show. Jordan is touring all over Poland and Europe forever.

Ciao! This week Beatrice (@beatricerossano) joins Jordan (@jordanthomasgray) and Ariel (@arielbialski) to complain about standup being so very hard. Everyone thinks their job is the hardest job in the world and almost no one is right about that. But why is stand-up comedy in particular considered to be one of the most notoriously difficult pursuits to engage in? Is standup harder than basketball? Can you master standup comedy just by doing open mics? Why don't top-level standup comedians teach standup? Is writing harder than performing? Could Louis CK beat Chris Rock in a fist fight? Do you have to be delusional to be a standup comedian? How does the Dunning-Kruger psychological phenomenon relate to standup? We meander around these questions and many more!

Ariel (@arielbialski) and Jordan (@jordanthomasgray) get together to discuss Jordan's recent confidence crisis after doing standup in New York and the overall role of confidence in standup. How do you gain confidence? What's the danger of being overconfident? Does confidence even matter? Ariel and Jordan also discuss the open mic scene in New York, the risk of doing solo shows only 2 years into standup, and the importance of believing in your material.

On this especially strange, meandering episode of The Comedy Hole Podcast, Andrzej Sosnowski (@comedyandy) joins Ariel Bialski (@arielbialski) and Jordan Thomas Gray (@jordanthomasgray) to have a wide-ranging conversation about the delicate issue of mental health in standup comedy. We are not mental health professionals - we are comedians - so please ignore this entire episode if you are looking for advice on mental health. Nothing feels better to a comic than a fantastic set, and nothing feels worse than an epic bomb. When writing new material, comedians typically have to endure a lot of bombing to work out even a small amount of reliable, polished material. This push and pull cycle of on-stage success and failure has a way of exacerbating underlying (or overt) mental health conditions, and it's unfortunately a common occurrence for comedians to have a psychological break, especially in the open mic circuit. The gang makes several attempts to talk about this problem, but mostly they get distracted and talk about other stuff.

The Comedy Hole: English Standup in Europe
Madonna mia! That's a spicy Jimmy Pepperoni!!! The Comedy Hole gang reports live (at the time) from an AirBnB in Rome, Italy (yes - specifically that Rome) with acclaimed Berlin-based Italian comedian and highly trained clown Filippo Spreafico (@filippospreafico). Filippo joined Beatrice, Jordan, and Ariel on a mini Italian tour for a couple of raucous standup comedy shows in Napoli and Rome. In this episode, Jordan gives Filippo a brand new name motivated only by affection, Ariel grills Filippo on whether the source of all conflict in Filippo's life is - in fact - Filippo, and Bea does her best to glue the whole shebang together without offending our guest! It's a WILD episode of The Comedy Hole that is sure to haunt all of us for years to come! Ciao grazie! The Comedy Hole is run by Beatrice Rossano (@beatricerossano), Jordan Thomas Gray (@jordanthomasgray), and Ariel Bialski (@arielbialski) - three standup comedians and comedy show hosts based in Warsaw, Poland.

"Everything is funny, Beatrice. Everything is hilarious to me. I see the absurdity in everything. It's like a curse. I'm haunted. Day and night I'm haunted by ideas." - Ricky K Canadian-Polish Comedian and Human Tornado Ricky Krzyzewski (@rickykrzyzewski on TikTok) joins The Comedy Hole gang to discuss his kitchen-centric writing process, that time he bombed as an Elvis impersonator on Poland's Got Talent, and Ricky's famous Zombie Grandpa joke. Ricky is a consistent crowd favorite at The Comedy Hole open mics and routinely brings down the house with his raucous, electrifying, warp speed performances. We hope you love Ricky as much as we do!
