Joe Stapleton ‘Excited’ to Perform with David Spade
For those who grew up in the 1990’s, David Spade was an iconic comedian. He partnered with the late Chris Farley, one of the funniest humans to ever walk the face of this earth, in two hilarious movies: Black Sheep and Tommy Boy. The comedic duo also starred together on Saturday Night Live.
Joe Stapleton will appear on the same stage as the former SNL cast member on Tuesday night. This won’t be the first-time the poker has opened for a celebrity of Spade’s caliber. But he told CardsChat News tomorrow’s opportunity makes him “beyond excited and nervous.”
David Spade is one of the most legendary comedians of all-time. After Farley passed away in 1997, he was on his own. He lost his close friend and comedic sidekick. But he’s continued to have a successful career in both stand-up and acting.
Four years after Farley’s death, Spade starred in the popular comedy Joe Dirt. He then co-starred in movies such as Grown Ups, Grown Ups 2, and Father of the Year, his most recent film.
Joe Stapleton may not have the big screen resume of David Spade. But he’s the funniest man in poker and his stand-up act has received rave reviews from the poker community. The poker announcer describes his style of stand-up comedy as “pretty observational with an emphasis on the dark thoughts we all have but keep to ourselves.”
If you follow Joe on social media, you know he likes to take shots at President Donald Trump. But his stand-up routine rarely hits on political topics.
You can catch both comedians live on stage at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles Tuesday night. Doors open at 7 pm. Laughs start a half hour later.
