Colin Jost Postpones Show, Tom Segura on Real Stories, and Pete Holmes in Miami

Colin Jost postpones his Del Lago Resort and Casino show in Waterloo, New York, rescheduled for Friday, March 27, with Del Lago citing scheduling conflicts and a syracuse.com conspiracy theory that it relates to Jost needing to recover from a bobsled segment shown during NBC’s Winter Olympics coverage in Lake Placid, where he screamed and said he thought he might die.

Tom Segura tells Forbes his standup stories are real, discusses stopping his one-on-one podcast Tom Talks due to bandwidth, highlights notable guests, and says Bad Thoughts season two is all new, more extreme, and a step up from season one.

Pete Holmes is promoted for a Miami Improv show (tickets from $37) and his tour now titled Pete Here Now after dropping the PG-13 branding; he discusses intention in comedy, responsibility with a microphone, and preferring stories about personal shortcomings.

Alonzo Bodden teams with Christian McBride for Comedy and All That Jazz Volume 4, taping in Montreal March 5, and Bodden reflects on being discovered at Just for Laughs.

Correspondent Mike Chisholm reports from Just for Laughs Vancouver, praising Catherine Blandford’s polished character work and her ability to blur the line between material and improvisation.
