Devin Middleton
Devin Middleton engages in a socially-distanced interview about his opening set during KJ Whitehead's 'The Haggard Unicorn' album recording in January 2020.<p> Devin summarizes the first nine films in the Star Wars franchise in about nine minutes through a socially-conscious lens. He uses this framework as a way to critique the franchise's white-washing of the pop-culture science fiction landscape, as well as it's clumsy handling of the topic of slavery.<p> Devin is a musician who releases albums under the stage name Debonair Status. His most recent release, 'Black Genderfluid Depression Jamz, Vol. 563' is available now.<p>   Time Stamps:<p>   01:10 – Opening Set from KJ Whitehead’s Haggard Unicorn<p> Mentions of Mo Less, Star Wars, The Collaboraction Theatre Company<p> 10:31 – “I moved to Chicago in 2015…”<p> Mentions of Improv, Sketch Comedy, The Sound of Music, ‘My Favorite Things’, Juicy J<p> 14:32 – “I’ve never thought of myself as a comedian”<p> Mentions of iO, Second City, ‘Who’s Line Is It Anyway?’<p> 16:49 – Exposure is a Scam<p> Reference to ‘Quitting Comedy Clubs’ from ‘What Alive People Do’, by Jamie Kilstein<p> I do not support or endorse Jamie Kilstein in any way<p> https://jezebel.com/progressive-performer-jamie-kilstein-ousted-from-citize-1792945836<p> 18:15 – Introvert Tendencies<p> 19:35 – Music Production Background(s)<p> Mentions of George Carlin, Richard Pryor<p> 21:25 – Moving<p> Mention of Notre Dame, Fort Wayne, Indiana, Aurora, Illinois<p> 22:35 – “Do you consider [this] stand-up?”<p> Mentions of Alt Comedy, Libertarians, Brother Nature, Napkins<p> 24:39 – “My comedy is lazy”<p> 25:08 – “I always want to make being thoughtful cool”<p> Discussion of the term “Social Justice Warrior”<p> Mentions of Black Lives Matter, Alt-Right Trolls, Common Sense Gun Laws, Police Reform, Philando Castile, Being Edgy, Labels, KJ Whitehead, Trans Comedians<p> 32:08 – “Getting into your set”<p> 32:35 – Shock Humor vs. “Edgy”<p> Mentions of ‘The Prestige’, Dave Chappelle<p> 34:03 – Why Was Dave Chappelle’s Audience Laughing?<p> Mentions of The Chappelle show, Ashy Larry, ‘8:46’, Netflix, Louie CK<p> 37:28 – Getting into the Set (For Real This Time)<p> Mentions of Patton Oswalt, ‘Parks and Rec’<p> 38:03 – Breaking the Fourth Wall<p> 39:15 – Reviewing Star Wars Episodes VI through IX<p> Mentions of J.J.
