On the road to realizing his standup comedy dream, Byron Kennedy found that being a funny guy kept landing him in gilded corporate traps. First from on-air radio talent to a lofty executive in the radio industry… then as a glitzy music executive. Now, he’s living the free-range dream night after night across the country.
In between being funny with his own unique brand of humor and dodging insults hurled from the audience he spends quality time interviewing other comedians, musicians, and interesting people on this podcast “Hot Chicken and Cage-Free Conversation”... all while they chow down at his favorite hot chicken restaurant in Nashville, Party Fowl! Who can blame him? He’s Cage Free now!
