Veteran waitresses clap back in a new weekly comedy podcast where nothing's off the table other than the 15 percent tip we just stuffed into our apron. Hosted by Brooke Van Poppelen & Andrea Wallace, the two use their combined 30 plus years of servitude, extensive careers in comedy (while waiting tables), and disdain for entitled Yelp culture to dish about the career that everyone should experience to be a decent human being. Side Work Podcast combines current events, trends in the service industry and food, with hilarious server submitted stories from around the world. Godspeed and Good Tips!

Love the podcast! Former Dishwasher/ Maintenance person
I love the show! Brings me back to the days of working at a local bakery as both a dishwasher/ maintenance person. Being in the weeds during the Holidays, a breakfast service, a brunch service, a 5 course Valentine’s and Sweetest Day shift. I love how honest both of you are about the ups and downs of the service industry. Your show is amazing! Keep up the great work ladies! You rock!
