Clearly at a low point, his state worsens when he opens his laptop to find a Facebook video celebrating his "friendship" with his now ex-wife, Jess.
When things are hard or humiliating, just know it was that way for everybody… except maybe Dave Chappelle.Written by: Pete Holmes & Judd ApatowDirected by: Ryan McFaulIn a dimly lit room, Pete sits in a beat up recliner, eating takeout Chinese food.
Like go out and enjoy the people who like me, instead of having to warm them up for my benefit.”Īs someone who’s been on both ends of the billing, the comedian has a simple yet effective piece of advice for anyone starting out: “If it sucks, that’s how you know you’re doing it correctly,” he says. I don’t want to send somebody out cold to take the bullet. “I think it’s good for those supporting acts too. Holmes, being the considerate comic he is, also lets his “openers” follow his act to relieve some of that pressure. Hopefully, they’re excited that I’m there.

I like to get the first crack at the audience. When asked what fans can expect from his Club Soda shows, the Massachusetts native says his method as a headliner is a little unconventional. Along with hosting the New Faces showcases, Holmes will headline a show entitled Pete Holmes & Friends, record a live version of his podcast You Made it Weird, and appear as a supporting act in the Patton Oswalt Gala. “I can’t recall the name of it, but I’ve gone, and I will certainly be doing that again.”Ī post shared by Pete Holmes will probably need all the raw vegan energy he can garner since he will also be a very busy man as the festival comes to a close. “If I go to Montreal, I always am surprised and delighted that there is not only vegan, but raw vegan food. On a personal note, Holmes added that one thing he loves about the city, aside from the festival itself, is the food scene - especially as a vegan. Mirroring the comic’s own path, “the character would have done Montreal, he would have got reps, and then he would have gotten the talk show.” “If there had been a fourth season of Crashing, Pete would have stopped crashing,” confirms Holmes. Talks of filming a Montreal episode were in the works, but never came to fruition when the show ended.
Rising above the adversity the business brings was the premise behind his semi-autobiographical HBO show Crashing (2017 – 2019), which he wrote and starred in. “So I just want to be the smiling golden retriever face that makes it as gentle as possible. But if they’re like me, you feel this pressure, this expectation,” he explains. “Some guys and women go out there, absolutely fearless. As a result, he hopes to be a positive force for the newcomers. Holmes says he knows the struggles that come with making it in comedy. Over the years the JFL New Faces showcase has helped catapult the careers of celebrated comedians such as Jimmy Fallon (1996), Gabriel Iglesias (1999), Kevin Hart (2001), Hannibal Buress (2006), Amy Schumer (2007), Jerrod Carmichael (2011), Pete Davidson (2013), and many more. But to me, it’s like really authentic and special.” It’s not like hosting a gala or something. “To ‘take the bullet’ is what we call it in the business. “I don’t remember who hosted my New Faces showcase, and that is not a slight on them, but I remember thinking that that was a cool thing that they did,” said Holmes.

Now, three hour-long TV specials and one bestselling book later, Holmes is paying it forward by hosting this year’s edition of the New Faces shows on July 27 and 28. “And I think that there’s something nostalgic about that, and fun.” “All the comedians that are on the road come here, and we all agree to mingle in the same hotel and eat the same gravy fries,” he says.
