Episode 26-Court and Charlie

I had the best time talking to these two dudes.  I've watched both these dudes on stage as improvisers at Sacramento Comedy Spot.  Since then they have both taken a bit of a hiatus from improv but they could not resist the stage.  They are back now and producing their own show at STAB the Forbidden Knowledge Show.

I really hope you enjoy the pod as much as I enjoyed talking with them.  Now sit back relax and enjoy the comic talk, here we go!  Oh also check them out on Facebook. 

Episode 25-Amy Estes

Amy Estes is very well known on the local Sacramento Comedy Scene and I was really surprised to find out she's only been at it for two years.  She's on shows all over Northern California and she has some pretty big hopes and aspirations.  Please sit back and enjoy the latest episode of Comic Talk, here we go!!!!

Episode 24-Alicia Davis and Tina San Lucas: Live From The Sacramento Comedy Spot

What a night!  I'm so blessed to have such amazing and talented friends.  Tonight I gave the stage to two really good friends of mine and they returned the favor by delivering great sets and then sitting down and sharing with me why they love doing what they day.  Please enjoy the latest edition of Comic Talk The Podcast with Alicia Davis and Tina San Lucas.  P.S I love these pics of Alicia and Tina!!! 

Episode 23-Robert Berry

I took Robert Berry's stand up 101 class just over a year ago and we have become really good friends since then.  I think really it's because we're both hella old.  We like the same music we like the same bands we kinda like the same clothes.  We've told each other that we are the wildest yeah the wildest things we've ever seen!  I really enjoyed talking to Robert about all things but mostly about music.  This could have easily just been two old guys talking about music but we squeezed some comic talk in there too!  Now, sit back relax and enjoy the comic talk here we go!!!!!

Episode 22-Liz Randal, Carollynn The Comic, Dan The Can't Stand Up Comedian

Liz, Carollynn, and Dan all participated in Johnny Taylor's Storytelling Class recently and on Wednesday October 30th, they will Showcase their Storytelling prowess in The Callback Bar and the Sacramento Punch Line.  Show starts at 6:30pm and is FREE!!!!Show will also feature Tina San Lucas, Joe Konyou, Amber Whitford and Special Guest.  On this pod they talk about the class and how challenging but mostly how much fun they had taking the class.  I hope you enjoy this panel discussion.  

Episode 21-Aliada

I love Aliada so much and I'll just leave it at that.  Our friendship itself would be an 8 part podcast series and you'd need a subscription or a very least a prescription to listen!.  Ali comes by the studio to talk about the upcoming Invisible Disabilities Show taking place Sunday October 27, 7pm at The Sacramento Comedy Spot.  Of course the conversation does eventually lead to Andrew Bird.  I really really hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it for you.  

Episode 20-David Samuel

Today's guest is David Samuel. I talked to David just a few days after the Savage Henry Comedy Festival. We talked about the Festival and much much more. He's 3 years in so he's in a cool place where his experience is really helping him pick and choose where is the best place to invest his time and energy. He's a really nice guy and I genuinely enjoyed our conversation. I really admire how comfortable David is with his current place in Comedy being three years in.  He knows what he's capable of but more important he knows there will always be so much more work to be done to get to the next level or step per say.  I really hope you enjoy the conversation!

Episode 19-Nick Michelsen

Fellow Open Mic'r Nick Michelsen came through the Comic Talk Studio recently.  We talked about well, comedy.  He told me a great story about day one of being an open mic'r he also shared some of the dreams and aspirations of his crew The Broken Comics.  Nick was a great dude and every chance he got he made sure to thank anyone and everyone who has given him a hand up along the way.  Sit back, relax and enjoy this episode of Comic Talk The Podcast...here we go!!!

Episode 18-Alyssa Cowan

I had so much fun talking to Alyssa I decided not to record the traditional intro I've been using since we were having such a good time chatting.  She talks Comedy, Podcasting, and lots and lots of wrestlin'!  Please sit back and enjoy this new episode of Comic Talk The Podcast!
