00:00:26.219 --> 00:00:29.420
Tickets are on sale right now. First of all, Tammy,
10
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:31.800
thank you for taking the time to chat. We're excited
11
00:00:31.820 --> 00:00:34.869
to have you in the area this weekend. And you've
12
00:00:34.890 --> 00:00:37.710
been doing stand-up comedy for a little bit now. When
13
00:00:37.729 --> 00:00:39.369
did you get started doing stand-up comedy?
14
00:00:39.590 --> 00:00:43.549
Well, thanks for having me. And yeah, I've been doing,
15
00:00:43.570 --> 00:00:47.979
oh my gosh, like 31 years. I mean, it's a
16
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:51.079
long career of mediocrity.
17
00:00:53.789 --> 00:00:56.390
Oh, I wouldn't say mediocrity. You are super funny. Very,
18
00:00:56.429 --> 00:00:56.990
very funny.
19
00:00:57.130 --> 00:01:00.090
I follow you on social media and I love that
20
00:01:00.130 --> 00:01:03.549
you post actual standup comedy rather than just like a
21
00:01:03.609 --> 00:01:07.140
lot of the time comics only post crowd work. I
22
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:09.560
love that you post like real jokes and people can
23
00:01:09.579 --> 00:01:11.599
get a chance to see how funny you are. But
24
00:01:11.620 --> 00:01:14.159
I also love the videos that you post, like just
25
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:16.540
out in the wild, out in the world. You're a
26
00:01:16.579 --> 00:01:18.439
super funny lady and I'm excited to have you here
27
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:18.980
this weekend.
28
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:22.819
Well, thank you. I mean, it's so weird. I'll be
29
00:01:22.859 --> 00:01:26.219
honest with you. We didn't used to post any standup
30
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:28.409
because you didn't want your standup to be out there.
31
00:01:28.420 --> 00:01:31.269
You wanted to save it for a special, but now
32
00:01:31.430 --> 00:01:35.750
people don't even watch an hour of standup anymore. They
33
00:01:35.790 --> 00:01:40.370
watch no more than six minutes of standup consecutively, maybe
34
00:01:40.469 --> 00:01:42.790
on YouTube. And everybody's like, you got to be on there.
35
00:01:42.909 --> 00:01:48.010
And I went to bed during COVID, so to speak,
36
00:01:48.849 --> 00:01:51.959
and I did well on social media at that point.
37
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:54.719
I had a lot of followers and we got out
38
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:59.620
of COVID and my next door neighbor had 5 million
39

of COVID and my next door neighbor had 5 million
39
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:03.340
followers because She was a bigger girl who put a
40
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:05.680
bikini on and went to a road rally. You know
41
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:08.479
what I mean? So everybody has something going on now.
42
00:02:08.780 --> 00:02:10.379
So what you're saying is I need to find a
43
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:12.180
bikini and get out to a road rally.
44
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:14.800
Well, I tried it and I'm out of shape and
45
00:02:14.860 --> 00:02:17.960
nothing happened for me. Just so you know, just humiliation
46
00:02:18.020 --> 00:02:19.219
and embarrassment.
47
00:02:20.379 --> 00:02:22.250
Well, I suppose I would at least get some laughs
48
00:02:22.289 --> 00:02:23.949
doing that. And you are going to get some laughs
49
00:02:24.129 --> 00:02:27.870
on stage this Saturday at the Dakota Gathering, formerly the
50
00:02:27.909 --> 00:02:28.650
Tea Event Center.
51
00:02:28.979 --> 00:02:32.139
Have you done comedy in South Dakota in the past, Tammy?
52
00:02:32.460 --> 00:02:35.939
Oh, many, many, many, many times throughout my career. I
53
00:02:36.300 --> 00:02:41.610
am a Midwest comic, basically. When I first started comedy,
54
00:02:42.590 --> 00:02:45.750
I was an emcee and traveled all around. And then
55
00:02:45.830 --> 00:02:49.449
there's three spots on a show, emcee, feature, and headliner.
56
00:02:49.849 --> 00:02:53.379
And I have... done all of them there in Sioux
57
00:02:53.460 --> 00:02:57.280
Falls specifically. And then there's been other parts of South Dakota.
58
00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:59.879
And I've been to South Dakota so much that one
59
00:02:59.939 --> 00:03:01.900
time I went to go to North Dakota and it
60
00:03:01.939 --> 00:03:02.580
was closed.
61
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:03.800
Yeah, that happens here.
62
00:03:03.819 --> 00:03:05.939
We get bad weather in the winter and they'll shut
63
00:03:05.990 --> 00:03:10.560
down the road to the entire state. Well, we are
64
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:12.759
super excited to have you here this Saturday. I don't
65
00:03:12.780 --> 00:03:14.719
think any roads will be closed. We should be good
66
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:16.969
to go. For folks who have not had a chance
67
00:03:16.990 --> 00:03:19.469
to see you at a comedy show, maybe they've never
68
00:03:19.569 --> 00:03:24.159
perused the Tammy Pescatelli videos online. How in the world
69
00:03:24.189 --> 00:03:27.419
would you describe Tammy Pescatelli comedy?
70
00:03:27.740 --> 00:03:30.099
Well, I'm a grown up, so we talk about grown
71
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:32.740
up things, but I'm not a dirty comic. Every once
72
00:03:32.780 --> 00:03:35.860
in a while I might swear, but I'm sarcastic. And
73
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.319
I talk about I happen to be Italian with a large,
74
00:03:38.379 --> 00:03:41.439
crazy family, but I like to talk about families in general.
75
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:45.080
And everybody has a crazy family. And if you don't,
76
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:48.099
then good for you. You're luckier than the rest of us.
77
00:03:48.139 --> 00:03:50.500
You can still find something else to laugh.
78
00:03:50.240
--> 00:03:50.919
About, you know.
79
00:03:51.340 --> 00:03:54.490
I love that you are super relatable. Almost every story
80
00:03:54.530 --> 00:03:56.770
you tell, I can relate to in one way or another.
81
00:03:57.150 --> 00:03:59.300
And you do such a great job of making people
82
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:01.400
laugh without being vulgar.
83
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:06.539
No, I'm not dirty at all. I'm a veteran female comic.
84
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:09.539
Back in the day, you had to be clean to
85
00:04:09.580 --> 00:04:12.969
be on television. I've made 11 Tonight Show appearances. I've
86
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:16.230
had four one-hour specials, my own shows, movies, and things
87
00:04:16.290 --> 00:04:19.209
like that. I don't talk about the things that I
88
00:04:19.230 --> 00:04:21.930
would be embarrassed on stage if my parents walked in.
89
00:04:22.089 --> 00:04:24.829
I'm Gen X. We didn't talk about that kind of stuff.
90
00:04:25.170 --> 00:04:28.000
So I like to talk about the differences in generations.
91
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:32.279
I don't talk about politics or religion. or anything like that.
92
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:34.860
I just want to talk about the stuff that all
93
00:04:34.899 --> 00:04:37.240
of us, the people you see at the gas pump,
94
00:04:37.300 --> 00:04:39.410
the grocery store, can all relate to.
95
00:04:39.709 --> 00:04:41.269
It's going to be a really fun show.
96
00:04:41.370 --> 00:04:44.410
I'm excited to see you in South Dakota on Saturday.
97
00:04:44.769 --> 00:04:48.139
I can't believe it's this far into November and there's
98
00:04:48.180 --> 00:04:48.980
no snow.
99
00:04:48.819 --> 00:04:51.569
On the ground. Yeah, we don't have any snow here yet.
100
00:04:52.009 --> 00:04:54.050
You never know. It could be any day. But hopefully
101
00:04:54.110 --> 00:04:55.209
we've got a little more time.
102
00:04:55.689 --> 00:04:58.110
I am super excited to have you in tea at
103
00:04:58.170 --> 00:05:00.509
the Dakota Gathering, formerly Tea Event Center.
104
00:05:00.589 --> 00:05:01.470
It's this Friday.
105
00:05:01.769 --> 00:05:04.250
There's a 4 o'clock show, which I think is awesome.
106
00:05:04.610 --> 00:05:05.870
And then there's a VIP event.
107
00:05:05.970 --> 00:05:07.529
Then there is a 7 o'clock show.
108
00:05:07.829 --> 00:05:09.689
We are excited to have you here, Tammy. Thank you
109
00:05:09.709 --> 00:05:10.149
for your time.
110
00:05:10.709 --> 00:05:12.810
Thank you, John. And listen, if you guys aren't there,
111
00:05:13.089 --> 00:05:15.490
you're going to really have FOMO. You're really going to
112
00:05:15.529 --> 00:05:17.269
feel like you missed out on something.
113
00:05:17.310 --> 00:05:18.029
So come on out.

00:05:18.430 --> 00:05:22.750

00:05:28.350 --> 00:05:32.389
late show. And the VIP tickets come with the VIP event,
118
00:05:32.509 --> 00:05:33.649

You choose to go to the early show and then
120

the VIP event. Or do I go to the VIP
121
00:05:37.930 --> 00:05:40.350
and then the late show? Either way, I'm going to
122
00:05:40.389 --> 00:05:41.829
be there. She's going to be there. It's going to
123
00:05:41.850 --> 00:05:43.889
be a whole lot of fun. You should be there, too.

About, you know.

00:03:51.340 --> 00:03:54.490
I love that you are super relatable. Almost every story

be on television. I've made 11 Tonight Show appearances. I've
86
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:16.230
had four one-hour specials, my own shows, movies, and things
87
00:04:16.290 --> 00:04:19.209
like that. I don't talk about the things that I
88
00:04:19.230 --> 00:04:21.930
would be embarrassed on stage if my parents walked in.
89
00:04:22.089 --> 00:04:24.829
I'm Gen X. We didn't talk about that kind of stuff.
90
00:04:25.170 --> 00:04:28.000
So I like to talk about the differences in generations.
91
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:32.279
I don't talk about politics or religion. or anything like that.
92
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:34.860
I just want to talk about the stuff that all
93
00:04:34.899 --> 00:04:37.240
of us, the people you see at the gas pump,
94
00:04:37.300 --> 00:04:39.410
the grocery store, can all relate to.
95
00:04:39.709 --> 00:04:41.269
It's going to be a really fun show.
96
00:04:41.370 --> 00:04:44.410
I'm excited to see you in South Dakota on Saturday.
97
00:04:44.769 --> 00:04:48.139
I can't believe it's this far into November and there's
98
00:04:48.180 --> 00:04:48.980
no snow.
99
00:04:48.819 --> 00:04:51.569
On the ground. Yeah, we don't have any snow here yet.
100
00:04:52.009 --> 00:04:54.050
You never know. It could be any day. But hopefully
101
00:04:54.110 --> 00:04:55.209
we've got a little more time.
102
00:04:55.689 --> 00:04:58.110
I am super excited to have you in tea at
103
00:04:58.170 --> 00:05:00.509
the Dakota Gathering, formerly Tea Event Center.
104
00:05:00.589 --> 00:05:01.470
It's this Friday.
105
00:05:01.769 --> 00:05:04.250
There's a 4 o'clock show, which I think is awesome.
106
00:05:04.610 --> 00:05:05.870
And then there's a VIP event.
107
00:05:05.970 --> 00:05:07.529
Then there is a 7 o'clock show.
108
00:05:07.829 --> 00:05:09.689
We are excited to have you here, Tammy. Thank you
109
00:05:09.709 --> 00:05:10.149
for your time.
110
00:05:10.709 --> 00:05:12.810
Thank you, John. And listen, if you guys aren't there,
111
00:05:13.089 --> 00:05:15.490
you're going to really have FOMO. You're really going to
112
00:05:15.529 --> 00:05:17.269
feel like you missed out on something.
113
00:05:17.310 --> 00:05:18.029
So come on out.
114
00:05:18.430 --> 00:05:22.750

you can buy your tickets for the early show, for
116
00:05:25.569 --> 00:05:28.310
the VIP event in between the shows, or for the
117
00:05:28.350 --> 00:05:32.389
late show. And the VIP tickets come with the VIP event,
118
00:05:32.509 --> 00:05:33.649

You choose to go to the early show and then
120
00:05:35.610 --> 00:05:37.819
the VIP event. Or do I go to the VIP
121
00:05:37.930 --> 00:05:40.350
and then the late show? Either way, I'm going to
122
00:05:40.389 --> 00:05:41.829
be there. She's going to be there. It's going to
123
00:05:41.850 --> 00:05:43.889
