In this episode of Put Your Funny Where Your Mouth Is, Vince Carone and Dobie Maxwell break down what happens when a comic gets double booked—and pushed to the side. Vince shares a story where he was brought in to a show, only to find himself quietly replaced in the lineup. What followed was a masterclass in ego management, professionalism, and the unspoken rules of comedy hierarchy.
Together, the two comics dissect why these moments sting so hard, what club owners and bookers don’t always say, and how to walk the line between humility and self-worth. It’s a conversation every working comic will understand—and every comedy fan needs to hear.
Key Points Discussed:
- What it feels like to be double-booked without warning
- How ego and expectations clash in real-world bookings
- The unspoken power dynamics of club lineups
- Why comics need to separate business decisions from personal value
- Dobie’s philosophy: the check clears either way
- Vince’s realization: it’s about respect, not just time slots
