THE DJANGO DISPATCH
RSVP ON RSVME BITCHES!!!!
RSVME HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!
You know the drill from planning an event: invites are the easy part. Everything after that — Eventbrite, Partiful, none of it was built to actually run Comedy Night end to end. So somewhere between the last Comedy Night and this one, I built it myself.
RSVME's live now, and Comedy Night's running on it going forward. If you're hosting anything — big or small — I can help you set it up. Tell me what breaks.
The RSVME logo. Merch on the way.
Mothafuckin’ Musings. And hopefully…amusing? Lol.
NOSTALGIA VS NOW: WHY THIS MATTERS FOR COMEDY
Do you miss the old Atlanta? Why? Why not?
As it relates to the scripts for the upcoming comedy night and comedy in general, it’s clear nostalgia is here to stay. The question is why and is it a bad thing?
In the 2010s people embracing old stuff were called hipsters. But let’s face it. If we all mostly pay more for less quality products or services, then it’s easy to yearn for the pre-inflation days. A time before automakers tried to sell us subscriptions to heated seats or printers that do not print without a subscription. Late stage capitalism. So the question is determining what are we romanticizing about the past, what was/is legitimately good from the past, and what is terrible about today. My point here is understanding the context is important. Now that screen time is a thing, suddenly that hipster wanting Polaroid pictures instead of a social media picture post doesn’t seem so bad. We yell at people to touch grass now.
So from a writing perspective, this presents an interesting dynamic; we see hunger for great writing but at the same time there’s a fine line between appreciating classics (nostalgia) and the higher bar it takes today to create a modern classic. In scriptwriting, it’s easy to assume audience taste and artistic integrity are at odds — but they don’t have to be. But perhaps the open secret is not to simply recycle intellectual property but recapture other elements. My personal goal is always avoid the nostalgia trends in favor of something new but I’m reconsidering that for a subversive approach if I can pull it off. Something to discuss on the 26th.

The Essentials
HAPPENINGS SINCE LAST COMEDY NIGHT
SUPPORTING LOCAL MUSIC ARTISTS: DESMOND MYERS
We met this fucker a few times and he’s nice guy and can fucking sing! He’s in a band in addition to being a solo artist. We got his new record on vinyl. Just a reminder to not complain about bullshit on streaming services while not checking out local artists trying to make it.
LONG LOST RELATIVE OF SIR DJANGO: LEONARDO JENKINS!
This is obviously not an AI generated image! When asked for comment Leonardo Jenkins simply replied “The fuck!”. Indeed!
GOATS ON A BELTLINE!
Not talking the Greatest Of All Time but literal fucking goats eating all of the bullshit. But the fucked up part is the all the vegetation grew back anyway.
SNAKES ON A BELTLINE!
Someone call Sam Jackson! On the beltline near the townhouse a few snakes have been spotted. Look down when running up!
Sir Django Universe Feature
THE CLOSER: MATT LEWIS GOT HIS SHIT TOGETHER!
Saving the best for the last of the newsletter!
Sir Django has the exclusive interview to see how Matt Lewis pulled this off!
Who: Matt Lewis and Taylor (and Tremel aka Einstein aka Right Foot Tony)
What: GOT ENGAGED! INSERT RING EMOJI!
When: August 23rd, 2026
Where: Cator Woolford Gardens
How: Matt Lewis slyly suggested a surprise “date” while plotting and scheming with Tremel. A short walk through the gardens led to the perfect spot where a lone photographer pretended to look busy. Matt Lewis said “Hey man, you mind taking some photos for us?”, at which point Taylor recognized him (Tremel) from his comedy night fame, and Matt Lewis pulled out the fattest rock anyone has seen since Gucci Mane proposed to Keyshia Ka’Oir, and of course, Taylor had to say yes (preceded by several “oh shit’s”).
Why: Taylor would have left Matt Lewis if he waited much longer
Actual footage of Matt Lewis at the jewelry store buying the ring. Ol’ Green Lantern Face Ass!
Registry coming soon I think.
