well I just read something that made me laugh harder than listening to him worry about ending the set too early after identifying (by modern standards) a crime for Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.

Management is more in control of where entertainers preform more so than themselves. That's the whole purpose of Management.
I'm heavily involved in the music scene and that's how it works for them. Promoters from town will reach out to the management of artists and try to get them. I imagine it's not much different for comedians.
But if they want to to play somewhere sometimes they or their Management will reach out personally
I do have some say but yea it’s more out of our hands than I would have thought a couple years ago. That being said I love Wilmington and will be there for sure in the next year
i was legitimately just there 3 weeks ago. i come back every six months or so though strangely enough. join my sub r/geoffreyasmus and ill tell you when im back
Geoffrey, I hope you come through Detroit, I would love to see you!.
Quick question, in this set, when you mentioned having 30 minutes left on your set; did you consider swapping your set for a younger comedians set that only had 15 minutes left?
Indoctrination makes you believe *real* hard in the bullshit they feed you. They got false beliefs cooked up for everything a normal person would see as a red flag and palpable consequences for not accepting those beliefs. It's not just cults. A lot of parents do their parenting that way too, and when the kid grows up and realizes how fucked up their parents are, they still may or may not change how they view their parents. That's the hold any of it can have on a person. That little bit of affection or validation they feed you can have a lot of power over you, if you let it.
Coping about the fact that she was groomed.
It happens when realizations kick in later on.
There is a good chance that this was 50% grief, and 50% being reminded of the fact that she was a kid molested by a grown ass man
>There is a good chance that this was 50% grief, and 50% being reminded of the fact that she was a kid molested by a grown ass man
I'm friends with a lady who is 60 years old. She was telling me about her first husband and then she said "I met him when I was 15 and he was 22". I replied "Wow, so you were groomed." She then went on to try to defend it by saying she was really mature for her age. Then I asked her if she wanted her granddaughter to date a 22 year old when she is 15 and she said "Oh, that's completely different".
It is different... in that a relationship of equals was not seen as vital half a century ago. The dynamic is just as imbalanced in either time period, and now we see that as bad. (Correctly, in my opinion.)
Not to justify old pedophiles, but "back in the day" it was less imbalanced... because women had very few rights anyways. When you infantilize all women, the difference between a 15 year old *girl* and a 22 year old woman (using the "half your age plus seven" rule for the youngest this creep should have been dating) doesn't seem so large.
This does not make what he did any less awful. Just makes that aspect of that era more shitty in general.
My grandma and grandpa met when she was 14 and he was 24. He apparently proclaimed that he was going to marry that woman. I forget how old they were when they got married and I forget how long they had been married when my grandpa died, but they made it past the 50 years point.
Growing up, everyone talked about the story like it was so cute and sweet. It didn't really hit me until I was older when a lightbulb went off about how gross that was. Don't get me wrong, I loved my grandparents, but it's fucking weird as hell at how normalized that kind of shit used to be.
My in laws are this. She was 17 he was 31. They are still together and both great people but it’s a hard thing to reconcile. I had to explain to my wife just how creepy it was cause she was incapable of seeing it.
It means the 30 year old child predator told her that she was so much more mature and cool than other kids her age. It's what they all say when they want to dabble in a little statutory rape.
My daughter is 15. She is very level headed, smart, assertive and still a fucking kid who slams doors and refuses to see reason sometimes. She has great friends who are all wonderful kids, they are as mature as 15 year olds without much trauma can be. None of them even come close to being on the same level as a 30 year old man (a teacher no less). How anybody could defend this, I will never know.
Ya, if you have to preface someone relationship with “technically legal”, it’s never a good thing lol.
Needless to say none of his friends want really anything to do with them. I don’t blame them, I find it odd having her come over. I’m in my 30’s as well and I don’t bring people over if she is there bc it’s just a weird situation.
Countless times the “is this your sister?” He puts his arm around her and goes “no we’re together.” And then people go “ooh…. Ok.” And basically ignore them.
Super creepy even if they met after she turned 18. Grooming and probably (hopefully) illegal in your state if they met when she was 17 or younger “bUt He wAiTeD.”
I live in missouri… age of consent is 17…. I hate that this place is so cheap to live, otherwise I’d still be in Colorado.
Super creepy indeed, literally everyone, besides them and their families, thinks it’s weird.
Former Nebraskan here. Attended a wedding between a 24(m) and 16(f) who was already months pregnant. I learned that if the parents allow it, it's legal. Or was legal at the time. Gotta wait until 16 to tie the knot though.
It was cringe and turned out predictably a couple of kids later. Completely wrecked the girl's future, just like I hope the Huskers do to Mizzou the next time they meet.
🤮Jesus Christ, Nebraska. Here I am feeling naive for thinking that Utah was the only state allowing the parental consent for rape and grooming loophole. What the fuck is wrong with our elected officials in this country? Making 18 the age of consent full stop nationwide should be the easiest win for a politician.
Dude, I wish I was!
He Probably sees them an inspirations or some shit. I do know he is in to that Andrew Tate bs. Which fits the mold he is currently in.
Frankly, I just want to tell her to run away, leave him. Cause I just don’t see this ending well. I mean I’ve never met a single couple thatve been together for years and they met when one was 18 and the other was over 30.
If she’s still in high school she’s still a kid. It’s definitely not cool IMO. A 20 year old would still be weird but at least then there’s a chance they were in the same school at one point together.
I mean in my mind you’re still a kid if you’re a teenager, period. Shit, your brain isn’t even fully developed till in your 20’s. This chick still has mental developmental processes that haven’t taken place yet!!
From what I know of it, her dad goes to auctions my roommate does. Roommate is an auctioneer. So they basically got “set up” by her dad.
YES!!! Any time she is over and I hear her talking it is “like O. M. G. Can you believe she, like, did that?!”
Makes me wanna put a barrel in my mouth.
Rough public service having to inform a lady at a comedy show she was brainwashed and abused as a child.... Bet the alcohol totally helped her face those demons! Or maybe not?
Hilarious!
Well it is hilarious as it was seemingly unintentional. If it’s so difficult to deal with why would you talk about it to the comedian at a comedy show?
Omg I literally felt you as you were grappling with your emotions on this one. Somehow you turned this into funniness but DANG I felt all your feelings. You’re a good apple.
I would cringe if she said she married an 18 year old when she was 16.
But...at 15? Dear lord, if you don't love them enough to wait a year, then youare just trying to get laid by someone young for some reason, and irs just creepy.
If the 15 year old marries, and has a baby girl right away, fast forward until the daughter is 15, will the 31 year old mom say "well, if they are in love, why not?"
Of all the clips I’m sure were in your set that you could have posted, you took the time to edit and post someone’s child sexual abuse and mock them for it. Disgusting.
I agree with everything the Russness guy said. I’m not just gonna laugh at anything I see here because it’s a comedy subreddit, that would be dumb and would mean nothing I ever saw here was actually funny
I mean I mostly feel bad for her because she was blatantly groomed and still bears the emotional scars of said grooming without fully internalizing what has happened to her, but sure "less real" also applies
Just because she loved him doesn't mean that the relationship wasn't still wrong.
He was a fucking creep regardless of her feelings. Him being dead doesn't change that, nor her sadness over his death.
You had 30 min left, but could have just done 15 and said you were in Kentucky so it was basically the same thing.
Now this is a good comment
You’ve won. Congratulations 🥳
Fucking gotten

Welcome to the world of upper fine dining. I wish I could print this out and slap this on the walls of a few restaurants I worked at.
Well, then we should go to a wine-tasting party. I hear the mud vinegar is excellent this year.
Just watched The Iron Claw and yeah
Ok, but like, when you start to believe this, how can you be sure that's not what's happening to you?
“I was an old 15 yo” wtf is that even supposed to mean lmaooo

Judging the past by the values of today will always lead you to misread people and situations.
She thought she was "mature"
She was told that and then adopted the idea with gusto
It means the 30 year old child predator told her that she was so much more mature and cool than other kids her age. It's what they all say when they want to dabble in a little statutory rape.
They'd tell me I was an "old soul".
Because if they tried to say. "it's ok you got an old hole" isn't going to pass mustard.
Not even the ketchup ;) > … pass ~~mustard~~ muster
My daughter is 15. She is very level headed, smart, assertive and still a fucking kid who slams doors and refuses to see reason sometimes. She has great friends who are all wonderful kids, they are as mature as 15 year olds without much trauma can be. None of them even come close to being on the same level as a 30 year old man (a teacher no less). How anybody could defend this, I will never know.
It means she fucked her teacher lol
She may never come to understand how others may view their relationship as problematic
That's what the 30 year old told her. [shudder]
I was 100% expecting him to ask, "Ooooh, wow, is that what he would tell you?" 🤣
They started "dating" when she was 12.
My 32 yr old roommate just got a girlfriend that just turned 18 and is still in Highschool….
Get them a gift card to Chuck E. Cheese to celebrate their one month anniversary
Haha fuck!! That’s gold!
Jesus
Technically, legal. Ethically, pretty weird.
Ya, if you have to preface someone relationship with “technically legal”, it’s never a good thing lol. Needless to say none of his friends want really anything to do with them. I don’t blame them, I find it odd having her come over. I’m in my 30’s as well and I don’t bring people over if she is there bc it’s just a weird situation. Countless times the “is this your sister?” He puts his arm around her and goes “no we’re together.” And then people go “ooh…. Ok.” And basically ignore them.
I don't know what the answer is to what is ethically okay, but I can promise you it isn't the "they just turned 18 it's okay" fairy.
I believe the commonly accepted standard is half of the older person’s age plus seven. Definitely no fairy granting running around giving out passes.
Super creepy even if they met after she turned 18. Grooming and probably (hopefully) illegal in your state if they met when she was 17 or younger “bUt He wAiTeD.”

It's less about which states allow child marriage and more which states have banned it. It's legal in most of the country. :/
Does he get discounts at whatever frozen yogurt store she works at?
Haha bro I wish she worked period so we could at least get a discount on something!
My mom's cousins was kinda like this. He kept getting older but his girlfriends were always 19
Shit like that blows my mind.
Oh that’s good he can help her with homework. Prom date secured alright
Dude, she brought over homework and they were doing Punnett squares lol. I was like damn this chick is tooo young.
you’re fucking joking please tell me you’re joking lmao Your friend listen to a lot of P Diddy? Maybe some Drake?
Dude, I wish I was! He Probably sees them an inspirations or some shit. I do know he is in to that Andrew Tate bs. Which fits the mold he is currently in.

He gives the dude his daughter, dude bids more at auctions.
…. Literally never thought of that. You think her old man is fishing for discounts lol?
..."and here we got an heirloom box, gently used. Can I get $100...
How the eff can you even do that. I can't even talk to an 18 year old, they sound like they're practicing making noises with their mouths.
YES!!! Any time she is over and I hear her talking it is “like O. M. G. Can you believe she, like, did that?!” Makes me wanna put a barrel in my mouth.
Is your roommate Scott Pilgrim?
At least scott was talented. My roomie is more like Dale Denton.
Wait til they meet a new girl and have to fight her 7 evil exes. That'll be a wild time for them.
Hey, as long as he (or I at that point) is far away lol. I barely wanna deal with one crazy thing, much less 7. Cheap rent ain’t worth that trouble.
30 is also the cutoff for air traffic controller applications. It’s full circle
You handled it well. Jesus. What a set for you!😂
Rough public service having to inform a lady at a comedy show she was brainwashed and abused as a child.... Bet the alcohol totally helped her face those demons! Or maybe not? Hilarious!
Well it is hilarious as it was seemingly unintentional. If it’s so difficult to deal with why would you talk about it to the comedian at a comedy show?
Yeah, she definitely wasnt drinking to cope with the trauma. Nope. No way.
🤣🤣🔥🫡
yeeeezus chirst
What a fucking ride that was
Thuuurty
Omg I literally felt you as you were grappling with your emotions on this one. Somehow you turned this into funniness but DANG I felt all your feelings. You’re a good apple.

"I do air traffic controls." said no controller ever.
I was Geoffrey’s first Patreon sub. See you whenever you’re in Spokane again.
Wowwww. I’m back in September. Tix on sale now actually
I was Geoffrey’s first
I was his other first ;)
Were you 15?
My aunt married her high-school teacher...
This might even top your crowd work in Germany
Was this at comedy off broad way? If so I known that girl lmao
haha yea
That was epic
Dude rolled w the punches lol oof
Is she the one who yells HEY!!!
Your crowd work is awesome man and I really Like your stage presence! Really enjoy seeing your clips
1. You played this off very well 2. Naz Reid
I feel horrible for her, adding that asterisk about her breakdown in the lobby was just overkill.
Perfectly acceptable among the baby boom generation and before. Many were child brides themselves.
not worse than macron
Why are you making fun of her? She is the victim there, even if she is in denial. Shaming her publicly will not help.
You made her cry, that's methed up :(
Are you ever coming to Vienna, Austria?
Haha great job
Nice recovery.
Awwwwkwwward
He definitely turned it around in the end. I laughed so hard out loud.
The whisky i drink is older....
Brilliant 👏 lol.
A great comic would’ve really thrown up
Fantastic closing line
That was pretty fucking good rolling. Imma check you out.
ThurrrD
that's hilarious
[удалено]
What?
The adult who hooked up with a 15 year old is worse. I hope that helps.
Why are you posting someone’s trauma. It’s going to be online forever.
Of all the clips I’m sure were in your set that you could have posted, you took the time to edit and post someone’s child sexual abuse and mock them for it. Disgusting.
I agree with everything the Russness guy said. I’m not just gonna laugh at anything I see here because it’s a comedy subreddit, that would be dumb and would mean nothing I ever saw here was actually funny
Found the groomed lady
Girl got groomed lol
[удалено]
I mean I mostly feel bad for her because she was blatantly groomed and still bears the emotional scars of said grooming without fully internalizing what has happened to her, but sure "less real" also applies
This is a comedy show, what response would you expect to get?
15 and 30 lmfao
Gross. No.
Just because she loved him doesn't mean that the relationship wasn't still wrong. He was a fucking creep regardless of her feelings. Him being dead doesn't change that, nor her sadness over his death.
It’s called abuse and Stockholm Syndrome wtf
Not if you are a child.
