De Blasio jokes about pursuing comedy as a second act, punchline falls flat
Fox News
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio quipped at a Tuesday news conference that he may consider a second act in comedy.
De Blasio's awkward punchline came as he announced the return of the New York Comedy Festival alongside Caroline Hirsch, founder of comedy club Carolines on Broadway. "I just want to volunteer, I have an incredible new act where I just eat food live. … It’s kind of like modern art and comedy together," De Blasio said. "Will you give me an audition? I really think I’ve figured out my next act. Get it? Get it? That was funny, wasn't it?" he said, prompting laughter from Hirsch only.More Related News
