    016 - Comedian Jimmy Graham

    In our second episode of the week (!) we sit down with Jimmy Graham. Jimmy is a fascinating comedian who is a part of the Accidental Comedy Club collective run by Ramon Rivas. While he'd probably make fun of me for saying this, his comedy is almost performance art, he pushes boundaries. He once won a comedy "contest" and burned with winnings in front of all the losers. He tells a great story about how he once incorporated a homeless man (?) into his routine.
