Diversity Pimp with Joseph Lymous
Actor, comedian, and puppeteer Joseph Lymous joins to share the downsides of being the newest member of Uncle Function, what it’s like to be a puppeteer in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, why being a diversity hire is not progressive as it seems, and discovering your neighbor’s hobbies in a very roundabout way.
Gianmarco shares the downsides of touring in Europe, and the boys get drunk on a mystery minty liquor. Russell instigates a retelling of when Joseph and Gianmarco auditioned for the same voiceover part.

Customer Reviews
Love it
Such a fun podcast
Gianmarco, come to LA more often!
I have been binging Gianmarco’s Instagram since I discovered him a few months ago, and now it’s his podcast’s turn. I love listening to this podcast because I love his improvy on the spot comedy. Looking forward to being able to see a show in person!
Needs more female guests
Can sometimes be a bit bro-y. Needs more women/non-binary voices.
