When you’re a brand new comic, there’s nothing better than a true pro taking you under their wing, and the first person to do that for me was TuRae Gordon. I saw him perform at Temple University before I even started stand-up, and once I did, he befriended me, gave me opportunities and two monumental pieces of advice that I still think about today. In this episode, we talk about the club where we started, The Laff House, comedy in Philly in the early 90s, Patrice Oneal, share some heckler stories and how comics can never stop talking about comedy.

Pat House is a nationally-touring comedian based out of Philadelphia. A regular performer in comedy clubs, casinos and theaters all over the country, Pat has been a choice opener for Sebastian Maniscalco, Tom Segura and Dan Cummins. He recorded his first album Biggest Thing in 2013, and his latest album Heard Enough Yesterday, hit #1 on the iTunes comedy charts. Both can be heard on iTunes, Amazon and Pandora.

With close to a billion streams of his 5 albums to date, and averaging a million more every week, Chad Daniels is one of the most listened to comedians of all time.

TuRae Gordon is a writer and actor, known for Underground Kings (2014), Def Comedy Jam (1992) and BET’s Comicview (1992).
