Starting in Oakland, moving to Portland, now currently living in L.A, Amy Miller is one of the hardest working comics out there. Amy has won Portland’s Funniest, appeared on The Adam Carolla Show, NPR, Doug Loves Movies and her own “Comedy Central Presents…”

Amy and I met years ago in Portland, where a snowstorm canceled half of our shows with Tom Segura. We share a bunch of fun stories from that week and have a great comedy chat covering everything from performing in laundry mats to proper green room etiquette and not being a complete dickbag in this industry.

When I moved to Hoboken, NJ in 2011 to tackle comedy in NYC, Adrienne Iapalucci was one of the few comics to take me under her wing and show me around the scene. Since then, she’s been featured on The Degenerates on Netflix, The Best of Netlfix Stand-Up 2020 and she was my first friend to perform on David Letterman. Born and raied in The Bronx, Adrienne’s mother dabbled in stand-up and Adrienne dreamed of being on Saturday Night Live, but then found herself doing stand-up as well. In this episode, we share some horror stories from the road, talk a lot about bombing, why the best-paying gigs are usually the worst shows and why I couldn’t make it work NYC.

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.

Adrienne Iapalucci is writer, comedian, and podcast host who made her stand-up debut on NBC’s Last Comic Standing.

Starting 2021 off with a bang! Tom Rhodes is one of my favorite humans on the planet. He first saw live stand-up comedy when he was 12-years-old, and with the help of a fake ID, he was actively performing at 17. From Florida to L.A. and N.Y.C. to San Fran, after cutting his teeth in America, Tom began working the international circuit, tackling Ireland, Sydney, Beijing, Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris, Hong Kong, and everywhere in between.

Tom and I have known each other for fifteen years, and we share a lot of memories and compliments. Crashing on my couch, his love of Philly, the New Years Day when he quit drinking, to a recent traumatic event he witnessed, Tom shares some deep thoughts and life experiences  – and in true Tom Rhodes fashion, gets some jokes out of it.

 A quick one to wrap up 2020! The first half of this episode is me solo, recapping some podcast highlights and what it was like performing live comedy during the pandemic. The second half, my producer, Andrew Moose, joins in on the fun! We chat about working on the podcast together, his behind the…

After a few rough sets in Lousiana, Mark Normand headed to New York City and made the magic happen! From Conan to Jimmy Fallon and a special with 4.5 million views, Mark has blown up the last few years. We talk about performing in front of huge theater crowds, getting compliments from Seinfeld (Mark, not me) oue earliest jokes and doing live shows during the pandemic.

I hosted for Christian Finnegan in Philly one weekend, and when he came back to town, he asked me to feature. You don’t forget stuff like that. In this episode, we talk about what comics were helpful to him in his career, club comics VS alt comics, and what comedy clubs will be like after the pandemic.

If you’re a comic, you most likely own a copy of “I Killed: True Stories of the Road from America’s Top Comics,” a book of short stories compiled by comedy legend Ritch Shydner. Over a 30-year career, Ritch has seen it all and done it all. We met after I read (and loved) his second book, “Kicking Through the Ashes.” We discuss his books, doing comedy at a time when it wasn’t even called “stand-up” yet, the comedy boom of the 80s, open-mics to being on Carson, and hanging with Dangerfield.

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.

Whenever people ask me who my favorite comedians are, I mention Chad Daniels every time. As comics, sometimes we get wrapped up with the work side of things, that we forget to have fun. We remind each other that a lot of cool things happen in comedy if you just stop and take it in for a second. Chad and I talk about how meaningful it is when a headliner brings you around as their opener, we share a few (hilarious) horror stories from the road and the late, great Mitch Hedberg.

Sarah Colonna has been a New York Times best-selling author TWICE, but in this episode, we talk about her interest in comedy as a kid in Arkansas, her move to LA, bombing on stage, hitting it off with Chelsea Handler and we go head-to-head comparing all the MLB stadiums we’ve been to.
