    Jonathan Van Halem and Hot Gossip

    Jonathan Van Halem! Comedian! Friend! Delight! More! You can follow him on Substack and check out his tour dates at Punchup Live and you can listen to this delightful conversation we have right here right now! Also, here's some information about Jonathan from Jonathan's very website: "Hi, my name Jonathan van Halem. I'm a stand-up comedian based in Brooklyn, NY. I currently work at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. I host a great stand up show called Hot Gossip. It frequently sells out, and it's been recommended by the New York Times (ever heard of it?). I've performed on some of New York's best showcases, like 50 First Jokes, Newcomers at the Bell House, and One Liner Madness. I have many clips that have done very well online, like my set on the live show for Depths of Wikipedia, and my Top Straightest Moments of 2022/2023/2024. My rant against AMC A-List was named one of Vulture's Best Comedy Shorts of June 2024. I also made this fun, semi-viral video about Chappell Roan. Writing-wise, I did a trial run as a Clickhole contributor in 2023, in which I sold exactly one headline, but shortlisted 17 others (email me and I'll show ya). I've also been in McSweeneys once. When I'm not doing comedy, I'm patiently waiting for the New York Mets to win the World Series. My favorite Family Guy character is Stewie." He's funny and nice and good and I hope you enjoy our chat! And this is only the first HALF of our conversation.  For part two, subscribe via Apple Podcasts OR merely click on over here to Patreon!

    Jeremy Pinsly! Comedian! New comedy club owner! Friend! Delight! More! Jeremy and I have a great chat! You can have a great listen! And here's some information from the press release about his new club: ANNOUNCING OPENING WEEKEND OF THE GREENPOINT COMEDY CLUB  APRIL 10-11, 2026 NYC'S NEWEST VENUE FOR COMEDY AND MORE LOCATION: 66 Greenpoint Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222 OPENING WEEKEND: Friday April 10th and Saturday April 11th ​Tickets: https://www.greenpointcomedyclub.com/   February 25, 2026 - New York, NY -  NYC comedy favorite and veteran show producer Jeremy Pinsly and his wife and business partner Kayla Pinsly will open The Greenpoint Comedy Club this spring. Greenpoint Comedy Club will feature the best comics in NYC and beyond and boasts a thoughtfully designed bar room where you can find expertly crafted cocktails (and more!) from afternoons through 2AM. The venue is over 2,000 square feet in a prime location in Greenpoint. The bar will open in late March, with a grand opening weekend on Friday, April 10 and Saturday, April 11. Live comedy will kick off on April 10 with an 8PM show, followed by an opening party with music, food and some of the coolest comics in NYC. The weekend will continue on April 11 with two shows at 7:30PM and 10:15PM.  Greenpoint Comedy Club is a venue for comics, by a comic. From top of the line lighting and A/V systems to the design of the space, every detail of this club has been considered to maximize the experience for both the comics and the audience. This will be a place for comics to work regular spots, headliner nights and record their specials. Jeremy aims to create a place for comedians at all stages of their career to have an opportunity to reach new audiences.  Jeremy has performed and produced stand-up in NYC and on the road for more than 15 years, He's produced shows in comedy clubs, speakeasies, a boxing gym, and a brownstone in Cobble Hill, where monthly shows sold out consistently for two years. Armed with a unique sense of what works and what is missing from most comedy venues, Jeremy and Kayla aim to make the Greenpoint Comedy Club a destination for the best comedy in NYC. As Jeremy describes, GCC's mission is "to run the highest quality show possible while also giving younger comics a chance to get their start." Greenpoint Comedy Club will serve as an incubator for the comedy scene. With a mission to bring "the hang" back, guests and performers are welcome to mingle and network before and after performances. Jeremy says: "We want to create a club where you can spend an evening, not just see a show and go. We've intentionally designed this space so you can grab a drink and meet new friends all night long." With a cozy atmosphere, ample seating and a top tier alcohol program curated by industry veteran and skilled mixologist Dory Greenberg, GCC aims to be a spot where you can grab a great drink and stay a while. While comedy is at the heart of everything Greenpoint Comedy Club does, the club will also feature live music, writing workshops and even after school programs with the intention of offering a space for creatives of all types to gather. ABOUT THE GREENPOINT COMEDY CLUB: The Greenpoint Comedy Club is NYC's newest comedy club located in the nightlife center of Greenpoint. By offering regular standup shows, unique produced shows and live music in a cozy, speakeasy environment, Greenpoint Comedy Club aims to be a flagship destination for NYC nightlife. ABOUT JEREMY PINSLY: Jeremy Pinsly, born in Nashville, has performed standup comedy in NYC for the past 15 years. He has produced standup shows at comedy clubs, bars, restaurants, and speakeasies all over NYC. In 2015 he started a podcast with an 89 year old comedian and actress, Dev Rogers where they discussed life and comedy in Dev's rent stabilized apartment in the Upper West Side. In 2022 Jeremy and his now wife Kayla started a comedy show in their apartment, Bubbe's Comedy Hour, that ran successfully for over 2 years. Most recently Jeremy started a comedy production business in Nashville, TN where he ran shows at Friends in Low Places on Broadway, Music City Boxing Gym and other venues all over the city. In late fall of 2025, Jeremy founded the Greenpoint Comedy Club.  And this is only the first HALF of our chat! For part two, subscribe via Apple Podcasts OR simply click on over here to Patreon!
