Episode: 22   Edinburgh Fringe Series: EP: 4   This week I had a fascinating conversation with English based US Comic Al Lubel. He talked about his journey from law school to comedy. He told a story about the time he had to share a comedy prize, what his plans were for this years Fringe and through his worst gigs he learned the most. And I think he remembered who I was ( Thanks Al

Al Lubel is an amazing award-winning standup comedian who David Letterman has called "terrifically funny," whose joke Jerry Seinfeld has said is one of the best he's ever heard, and who is the subject of Josh Edelman's award-winning documentary Mentally Al. In this episode Liz and Al discuss the importance (and lack thereof) of names, their common background as lawyers, and Liz's pitch for Al to star in a commercial for Zoloft.    

He went from appearing on Letterman to driving a cab. But it never occurred him to be bitter. Maybe deep down he didn't feel he deserved that early success.

It's all new and we're starting with one from the archive! In our launch of The Angel Comedy Community Podcast, Barry Ferns talks with Al Lubel about his long-running career in comedy; his style, the famous faces he rubbed shoulders with and how his path took him from losing the comedy store to working with Seinfeld

Al has always been a comedian's comedian, but mainstream success has always eluded him. Raised by a smothering anxious mother, fear and lack of independence have stunted his emotional growth. He talks about the fear of independence, sense of entitlement and narcissism that hinder his growth. More About Our Guest  For more about Al go to www.AlLubel.com Support Our Sponsors!

This week I chatted to Spring Day, Ian Fox and Al Lubel, all live from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Spring Day Who runs the world? Not this bitch. I handed the keys to a drunk guy. Come see Spring Day (her real name!), voted Brooklyn's Best Comedian, tell true tales of the selfishly selfless. It’s a night of sharp, dark, brutal and relentlessly bubbly comedy that is straight from the heart and hits below the belt. You'll laugh, be inspired and feel better about your lot in life, you patronizing bastard. 'A definite must-see!' **** (ThreeWeeks). ‘Wickedly delivered punchlines. The audience absolutely loved her, no doubt you will too' **** (BroadwayBaby.com). Spring Day: Strong Codependent Woman at City Cafe / 9.15pm Instagram: springdaycomedy Ian Fox Ian Fox is your host as he comperes four top-quality fowl-mouthed acts, hand-plucked from around the festival. For the poultry sum of a bucket contribution on eggsit. Guaranteed to be clucking funny. Ian Fox: Funny Cluckers - Best of the Fest at The Three Sisters / 2.45pm Al Lubel Al Lubel became a lawyer to satisfy his mother. He then quit the law and became a standup comedian to satisfy his need to disappoint her. Al practiced law during the day and comedy at night. Getting stage time is hard for a new comic so Al would suddenly stand up in the middle of restaurants and do his act. And as he says, “I almost always got big laughs because I had everyone’s complete attention because everyone was scared that I might hurt them.” Al gradually began getting work at comedy clubs and within a year he won the $100,000 Comedy Grand Prize on television’s Star Search. Doing the Tonight Show was a childhood fantasy, so Al auditioned and became one of the last comics to appear with Johnny Carson. He went on to make six more appearances with Jay Leno and five appearances on the Late Show with David Letterman. Al was the subject of the documentary, A Standup Life, directed by Peter Lydon for the BBC. A documentary about American standup comedy, it features Jerry Seinfeld, Bob Hope, Mort Sahl and Joan Rivers. Al has played an attorney on the Blake Clark HBO Comedy Hour. He has also played played Bill Walton’s sidekick in the the ESPN series, Bill Walton’s Long Strange Trip. Al’s solo show, Mentally Al, won the Amused Moose Award Judges Prize as the best one person show in the 2013 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Two years later he was nominated for best performer of a solo show by the Barry Awards at the 2015 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. In March 2016, Al was Marc Maron’s guest on WTF with Marc Maron. But Al does admit to missing the practice of law. He says, “I’d like to have just one more trial, something serious like a murder trial because right before I give my closing argument and my client’s fate hinges on every word I say I want to see his face when I turn to him and whisper, I’m a comedian!” Al Lubel: This is the title of the show - Ciao Roma / 5.50pm Instagram: al.lubel  

Patrice O'Neal, the late GREAT comedian calls in to a now "Famous" recording of Danny's old show recorded in 2007.  In this special episode Danny reflects on this talk in Season 7 with Al Lubel and now you can hear it for the first time in 10 years! Enjoy!

Al Lubel comes over to discuss philosophy from Thomas Szasz but what happens is an incident from 17 years ago resurfaces that has kept the two apart all these years without Danny even remembering it happened. It's a great talk with one of the all time great comedy minds.  Happy Holidays & Enjoy!

Comedian Al Lubel stopped being a lawyer in order to start doing stand-up. But he never stopped putting himself on trial. Al tells Marc how his desperate search for an identity was coupled with a never-ending barrage of crippling self-judgment, even after he won Star Search and became a favorite of late night talk show hosts and fellow comedians.

Al started off as a lawyer (to please his mum) and became a comedian to please himself (which did not please his mum). After graduating from law school in Florida, Al moved to Los Angeles, passed the California Bar Exam but chose to pursue a career as a stand-up comedian rather than a lawyer. After quitting law, within a year he won the $100,000 Grand Prize for comedy on Star Search. Doing the The Tonight Show was a childhood fantasy, so when Al heard that Johnny Carson was retiring; he auditioned and became one of the last comics to appear with Johnny. Al has performed on the Late Show with David Letterman five times. Al will be performing his award-winning Edinburgh show 'Al Lubel is Mentally Al' at Soho Theatre on 1st October. - Sara Shulman is the Founder and Editor of Comedy Blogedy, TEDxUCL speaker on 'The Power of Funny', former Head of Comedy at UCLU Rare FM and produces the Humour Me Comedy Podcast.
