So today I sat down with my favorite comic......me! Just kidding, I hate myself. But this week it's a quick little short and sweet solo episode, I actually brought in one of my own jokes for once(I'm just trying to fill air time everyone).

Boy oh boy! We're back baby! It's been a hot minute but it's about time we brought it back. Today's guest is one of my absolute favorite people in the whole world Addison Hall. Addison is a Hampton Roads based comic who's style is more of a comedic storytelling type of style. So a lot of his jokes are more long form stories about crazy things that have happened in his life. Addison can be found on Instagram at @addison_l_hall so please go give him a follow! As always I can be found at @nickdeezcomedy and we can be followed at @comedybuildupsandbreakdowns!

Howdy boys and girls on this episode I got to hangout with my good friend Dylan Vattelana and boy lemme tell ya, it was a doozy! Dylan is a regular at not only the Richmond and Virginia Beach Funny Bone but multiple Funny Bone clubs across the country! He has been spending the majority of the time that I've known him traveling all over the east coast and then some just doing whatever he can to get his name out there! Dylan was one of the first people I met in Richmond when I started so it was real cool to not only sit down with him for this episode but to get him on the Wicked Wednesday show at Cozzy's Comedy Club here in Newport News! Dylan can be found on all social media platforms at @dylanstandsup so please be sure to follow him and check out his website www.dylandstandsup.com Please follow me on twitter @nickdeezcomedy and instagram @nick_deez_ And as always.....
