In this episode, I hang with Sergio Marzitelli, Matt Serniak, Brad Hartland, and Ryan Sweeney. We share stories of Hell gigs and bombing, discuss Kanye West, and Ryan lands a joke that absolutely crushes me. #rekt (or something).
This week I speak with Baltimore stand up comic and host of the Digression Sessions podcast- Mike Moran. We talk about how to conduct a unique interview, general weirdness in our personalities, getting into comedy, and we riff on ideas of how Mike can use his job as an Uber driver to further his comedy career.
This week I spoke with Baltimore comedian Justin Jones. We talked about wasted potential in artists, the Baltimore riots, not fitting in in high school, punk rock, and Baltimore comedy.

In this episode I spoke with LA comic Rob Banks about doing open mics in LA, growing up on a farm, cocky feature comics, working as a background actor, and he educates me about getting “belligerent” at country concerts.
In this BFF episode I am joined by Brad and Ryan. I talk about my rebellious years and wearing jeans to the gym, and tell stories from going to my first open mic comedy night at the Sidebar in Baltimore. Ryan talks about a local hippy-jam-rock band that’s getting protested over their name- “Black Pussy” and brags about ‘building’ a headboard he basically bought from Lowes. And we all reminisce about our college radio show, debate comedic sensibilities, and learn what it’s like to spend one full minute inside my ADHD riddled head.
This week I spoke with New Jersey comedian Doug Max who walked me through the day he decided to start doing stand up- immediately after signing divorce papers. Doug tells me about what it’s like going into stand up as a single, older gentleman and we discuss topics such as open mics, babies, atheism, and how to tell if your marriage may be falling apart.

This week I talk with comedian Derrick Murray about life as a stand up comic in California. We talk about the dangers of LA open mic’s, getting obsessed with comedy at a young age, and the common embarrassing mistakes artists make when they’re starting out. Derrick gets heavy and tells me about losing his religion. Lastly, Derrick tells me all about his nerd themed shows and I proclaim my love for Magic: the Gathering and rant about my theory on fake nerds.

This week’s episode is with comedian Casey Flesch. We talk about stand up and the music scene in the midwest, how human beings can survive in such frigid temperatures, his experience seeing a certain fruit-smashing comic, and blacking out during his first open mic. Casey also gives some inspiring words for those thinking about starting a career in stand up but worried about bombing that I think are important enough to put in the show description: “I guarantee you’ve had worse stretches of 3 minutes in your life.”

In this episode I spoke with stand up comedian Brendan Sagalow. He tells me all about working his way up as a stand up in New York City, how to build a stand up set, and randomly opening up for famous people. We also bust balls and say horrible things.
