Is This A Bit?

Julie reunites with comics Dyke Michaels and Thaddaeus McKee (and producer Zach!) in studio in Indianapolis for a special 2-part "swapcast." The gang chat about recent gigs, cringey open mics, "bombing" as a child, and toddler potty fiascos. It's a trip!! Check out the second half exclusively at patreon.com/harderbrunch!

Julie stops in Louisville, KY to sit down with Katy Bevins! The mom comics talk about their worst bombs and most interesting (bad?) venues for stand-up; Julie learns a lesson about redheads' genetics, and we find out which TV characters Katy would want on her squad in a zombie apocalypse. You can take the girl out of eastern Kentucky, but you can't take the eastern Kentucky out of the girl. Check out @julieheckman0 on tiktok and @ComedyGraffiti on facebook!

Back from fall break with a vengeance, Julie Heckman hops on Zoom with NY comic Mike Lemme to talk about his upcoming show, Healing+, coming to Fort Wayne this October.  A blend of comedy, theater, and improv all in one, it's bound to be a good time; and studio owner Ben Roney hangs out on the call as well. Joke-in-progress topics include boner pills, YouTube kids, and 9/11. Yep! (The audio quality is actually fine, so don't aZoom it sucks haha see what I did there?) Check out MikeLemme.com as well as Studi07 on Fairfield Ave in Fort Wayne for more!

Fort Wayne comic JT makes his podcast debut! Julie & JT talk about crafting a callback, how the world is changing for racists, and why he's not allowed to get a TikTok. JT is a writer on the upcoming CBS show Bob Hearts Abishola and a father of 12; and if neither of those things impress you, get it together, man. Follow him on IG @mr_marcus260.

Julie and Detroit comic Jay Hunter become friends over drinks in this delightful, loose episode. The two chat about being real onstage; Julie retells one of Craig's earliest jokes; Jay recounts shooting hoops with some of the funniest characters from the “hood”; and we even learn some comedy history. You would never guess that Jay is a military vet himself, of 2 branches no less! Stay tuned in the future for a bonus episode from this night, because boy they had fun and recorded a LOT.

On this episode Julie and her weird (genius?) friend Jeremy Arroyo workshop some terrible jokes, and at the end we hear Jeremy put them onstage! Also talked about is Jeremy's upcoming celebrity episode of his podcast Dial Trolls – you won't believe whose phone numbers he's obtained!

Julie gets to know itinerant Indiana comic Griffin Sciarra and talk all about comedy! The two revisit a very early bit Julie did on a dark topic, dive into the "why" of groans, discuss Griffin's dad's receipts, and Julie forgets the difference between Crackers and Helium. The episode wraps with lots of gushing about which comedians' lives they would love to have!

Julie sits down with Louisiana native Brian Pitre to work on some bits involving her 2-year old's speech. The two talk comedy, bombing, why the midwest hates Ohio, their favorite animals, and end with a game of "F*ck, Marry, Kill." Brian does WHAT to Dolly Parton?!
