I know this is a business relationship but to me, its unsettling.

This is a very bad business move for him. No frum establishment is going to hire him anymore.

I agree. Unfortunately if he cancels on her, shell badmouth him passionately.

Id love to know how Blaker's business manager/agent studied what shes all about, and told him he stands to gain more by this partnership than lose.

It's nice of you to give them free publicity.

Hes a refined BT and his humor is refined, and lets just say she isnt that refined (understatement).

She opened for him a few years ago. They aren't strangers.

Places that don’t hire him anymore due to the fact that once or twice he’s paired with a specific comedian, are places that don’t deserve him.

That said I do not think he’s funny in the slightest. I’d go for leah though.

I went to his show a year or so ago and I found out the week of the show that she was opening for him. I emailed about how upset I was. She happened to have been very funny, I object to her as a person and much of her humor (she can do what she wants privately but it’s all in the open and for humor and it’s very distasteful for me). I went anyway because I bought the tickets months in advance for a night out with my husband (supposed clean fun) and I couldn’t get my money back and I really had no other ideas. It’s the first time we went to a comedy show and I specifically chose him because he’s frum. I wouldn’t go again unless I asked who else was in the show

So funny how people only see things thru their own narrow lens. This is a primarily right wing site with people who don't support Leah Forster. Therefore, it's a bad move for Ashley Blaker to partner with her.
Did any of you consider the fact that Leah has many thousands of fans? It's not exactly the Lakewood yeshivish types that were supporting Blaker and going to his shows and will be turned off now. I'd imagine that the majority of people who would attend an Ashley Blaker comedy show don't really have an issue with Leah. I think while he'll lose some that will object to Leah, overall he will gain more than he will lose.

One of the frum publications did an article on Ashley some time ago... I'm rlly unimpressed with them.
A guy who would pair up with Leah has no place in our magazines.

Probably thinks it’ll get him good publicity due to the huge controversy that follows her everywhere.

It's not nice to criticize someone's comma placement.
