Chad Zumach's Comedy Special GoFundMe Faces Troll Reports and Rising Costs
Chad Zumach claims his GoFundMe was 'falsely reported by internet trolls' while announcing his venue is secured but now needs additional funding for unexpected expenses.
Chad Zumach posted an update to his Locals page claiming his GoFundMe was 'recently falsely reported by internet trolls,' which the hosts found counterproductive. One host noted, 'for your own benefit, why inspire more?' pointing out that publicly complaining about trolls only invites further harassment. The hosts mocked his approach, suggesting he believes he'll get sympathy donations from people like 'Bill from Jersey' who might say 'I'll give him 500 bucks.' In the same update, Chad announced that 'the venue and date have officially secured' for his upcoming comedy special, though he provided no actual details about the city, state, venue name, or date. The hosts found it suspicious that everything was supposedly locked in yet no specifics were shared. Immediately after claiming everything was secured, Chad noted that 'a lot of additional expenses have come up that I hadn't originally factored in,' prompting skepticism from the hosts. The hosts recalled how Chad originally pitched the special with a precise figure of $8,300, claiming he had 'done his due diligence' and even 'negotiated down some of the costs.' One host admitted he initially believed Chad's claims about consulting with people like Jim Florentine, but the new request for additional money has raised doubts about whether the original budget was legitimate or simply fabricated.
