the Way of the Showman 87 - Mac King - Las Vegas Legend - 2 of 2
In this episode I continue my conversation with Mac King. We start out talking about Shows and performing but end up talking about books. SO, the last part of this episode is possibly the first episode of a spin off book club, where Mac and Frodo talks about books NOT relating to performing.
Topics we touch on:
-On performing almost exlusively in one venue
-Frodo doing more long form Shows
-Does Mac ever want to make a new Show?
-Working on ALL the details.
-Mastering all the details.
-What did Mac do creatively during the pandemic?
-Digital Shows
-(Im (one of) Mac's Wife's favorite acts. :-)
-Pandemic talkshow online
-Connecting and Playing with friends
-Funny Family
-On Mac moving from Harries Casino to Excalibur
-Shows not made for kids but that still good for kids
-On being offensive.
-People understand your intent as a person, if you are playful and authenticallly don't mean offence you can go far. Sometimes.
-About getting better through comments from smart friends.
-Book club:
Mac: Nero Wolf detective series by Rex Stout
-on male friends
Frodo: Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption by Stephen King
Humankind: a hopeful history Rutger Bregman
Fall; or, Dodge in Hell by Neal Stephenson
