How bad was it out there for comedians in 2023? The “You can’t joke about anything anymore!” crowd was so outraged that they opened their own comedy clubs devoted to providing a haven from the threats of cancel culture. “I’m drunk and on mushrooms in my new club!” boasted Joe Rogan, safe within the confines of his new Austin, Texas sanctuary, the Comedy Mothership. “This is as high as I’ve ever been onstage. I need to connect with this moment. You can’t fire me from my own club, bitch!”

Daniel Tosh has a favorite mental wellness coach, even though he claims he’s never used one. On a recent episode of his podcast, Tosh Show, the comic welcomed wellness expert Rosie Acosta — he’s a big fan of her voice, whose soothing tones are heard on calming meditation apps. Who knew she’d be asking the tough questions? 

“What’s your feeling on cancellation?” she asked. 

Tosh didn’t miss a beat: “I think it’s great. Cancel people.”
