You're Making It Worse

COMEDY
UPDATED WEEKLY

Although performing stand-up comedy was what initially united Eliot, Brent, and H. Alan over 10 years ago, it’s their openness (and sense of humor) about feeling totally lost and disconnected from the gay community that’s truly bonded them. On YMIW, Eliot, Brent and H. Alan get down and dirty, exploring the good, bad, and ugly tropes of contemporary gay life, often the stuff that no one -- especially straight people -- discuss for fear of being labeled homophobic. (Don’t worry. They’ll do that for you.) Each episode features a special guest -- comedians, humorists, musicians, influencers, film/TV writers, journalists, politicians, etc. - as well as allies, enemies, and acquaintances from all backgrounds and professions, not just those in the public eye. And as white, urban-dwelling gay dudes in their thirties, Eliot, Brent and H. Alan check their own privilege at the door, eager to instead explore what life looks for those not afforded the same concessions.

Essential listening for people with a sense of humor

Started listening to this podcast after a random automated suggestion back in 2019. To be perfectly honest, I remember being kind of annoyed by some of the strong opinions my first listen…a pandemic, change in presidency, and what feels like a life time in 5 years later, I consider these three guys to be some of the smartest, wittiest, funniest and most thoughtful entertainers out there. They each have a very specific and distinct personality which they use to discuss current events and create hilarious and original dialogues in the process.

But besides the fact that Eliot, Brent and H. have a hilarious and thoughtful podcast, they do so without vocal fry and without saying everything like it sounds like a question? Thank y’all for being who you are and easy on the ears.

Self-loathing meets condescension and vomits into a mic.
