If this is the wormhole you really wish to fall down, you want refinery29's Money Diaries. Every day at noon, they post a submitted week in their spending life, including everything that goes out and everything that comes in. Bills, salary, 401(k), groceries, bonuses, etc. It. Is. Fascinating. (And a good way to pick…
Celebrities been going too hard with the NDAs for a looong time now. I used to work celebrity adjacent and had to sign them all the time, for people I didn’t even recognize. My favorite was in 2005-ish, for some guy from a reality tv show I didn’t watch, but I guess he was a big name? He was convinced everyone was…
I wonder how this technically works - are people handed a form while they’re in line and the guy running credit cards is checking signatures to make sure no one is writing in “Nunya Bizness” or something?
“Pete Davidson seems like a raging asshole who just likes to get high and contribute nothing to the world of comedy,”
I think its much more the latter. After his ‘set’ at UCF leaked, it wasn’t his jokes making the rounds, it was the rant he went on calling students ‘fucking retards’
I attended a concert at a big sports venue recently and while I’ve grown used to the whole TSA experience I don’t like the way it’s assumed that I’m potential scum while I’m enduring it. As a paying customer IMO I’m entitled to basic respect, so it miffs me when some goon starts ordering me around and telling me to…
So wait, does this mean that anyone buying a ticket to see this asshat has to verify their identity before signing this NDA? So in order to see this guy you have to provide your name and address to whoever is selling the tickets then sign the thing with a witness present? What’s to prevent me from signing it “Joe…
If he really needs to workshop stuff in secret, he could always pay the audience, I’m sure they would sign an NDA if he paid them to sit through unfinished and unfunny jokes.
Can we all agree to immediately go to our Twitter/Instagram/Facebook accounts and say “I just attended Pete Davidson’s show and his jokes, particularly the ones about his penis and Ariana Grande, were unfunny rubbish” and let the scramble to sue commence? Don’t forget to tag him so he and his lawyers are sure to see…
So the comedian is allowed to mock whatever he pleases but won’t allow anyone to mock his performance?
Yeah, this is problematic for a variety of reasons. I went to Buzzfeed and read the NDA, and while parts of it are okay, much of it is seriously overbroad, particularly the damages clause.
Old man yells at cloud rant here: I am completely over going to any kind of live stand up.
Chevy Chase, he’s not.
That seems unenforceably broad, although actually enforcing it probably isn’t the point - it’s intimidation.
It seems like this guy’s entire persona/brand is him being really self-aware and self-deprecating. Like, he knows he’s pretty fucked up and a goof and he doesn’t take himself too seriously. It’s difficult to overstate how much this bullshit completely goes against that, not to mention how completely fucking unearned…
What if I sneak in? I mean, I didn’t sign anything. But I am sneaking in. It’s a moral gray area, but maybe one that won’t get me sued? So hard to know.

Threatening to sue at the first sign of criticism is truly the sign of a great artist.
Sigh. No one gets performance art.
