- Comedy
Back in the 1980's and 90's there was a phenomenon called "The Stand-Up Comedy Boom." - Stand-Up was everywhere on TV, on the radio, and suddenly live in clubs that suddenly popped up everywhere overnight. And with the clubs came the many Road Comics, Local and Open Mic Comics, Bookers, Club Owners and Club Staff....
And there are stories... trust me, there are stories...
I was one of those stand-up comics and in this podcast, I'll talk with many of the people that lived the life and served up the jokes and the drinks. We’ll tell the stories, spill the dirt, and maybe even beg forgiveness.

Episode 2: Kevin Rogers - The Beginnings, Endings, and Enduring Bonds of Being a Stand Up Comic
Sometimes you meet a person and you instantly know you are going to be friends for a long time. Kevin Rogers is that kind of guy, and I'm happy to say that I have a 30 year head start on my friendship with him than you do with yours.
Join Kevin and I as we reminisce and wax philosophically not only about our time in the comedy world, but also how got OUT of the comedy world, and how the experience still manifests itself and influences us daily. -
Episode 1: Vin "Vinny" Montello - Part 1 of ?
Hey everyone, meet my old friend Vin Montello!
Vin and I started doing comedy around the same time, in similar circumstances, but in different parts of the country. Once we didn't suck anymore and thought we had paid our dues, we met, started working together and learned there were many more dues to pay. But along the way a thing or two happened.
This is only part 1, as we only scratched the surface this time, Vin will be back because there is so much to go over.
But I have no doubt that you will enjoy my conversation with Vin quite a bit, but folks, not as much as I did. -
Episode 0 - Let's Meet The Host
It is hard to talk about yourself... So I invited my friends Cosmo and Richie, from "The Comically Late Podcast" to help introduce you to my new podcast, and to me, your host. Along the way, you'll hear about the time I got in singer Bill Medley's (The Righteous Brothers) pants.
