John MosesJohn Moses has been delightfully offending audiences throughout the United States, Canada and the U.K. for more than 15 years. In 2017 John was a finalist at the Laughing Skull Comedy Festival in Atlanta and is a favorite at festivals all over including; The Boston Comedy Festival; The Asheville Comedy Festival; The Cottage Country Comedy Festival; and the Dark Comedy Festival in Toronto where he roasted Porn Legend Ron Jeremy. John released his debut album On The Edge with Uproar Entertainment in 2012. It was voted one of Laughspin.com's “10 Best Comedy Albums of 2012,” and given their dubious distinction as “The One Album From 2012 You Should Get By A Comedian You Probably Never Heard Of.” It is still in regular rotation on Sirius XM RawDog, The Foxxhole and Canada Laughs. In 2013, he became an immediate favorite on AXS.TV's Gotham Comedy Live and was featured in their special “Best of Season One.” In 2015 he made his second appearance on Gotham Comedy Live and received high praise from the show's host, the iconic Dom Irrera. In 2016 he made his third appearance on the show, it was one of the shows most popular segments in the shows three year run. He released his second album Upper Middle Trash in May of 2016. Raw Dog on SiriusXM named that album one of the best albums of 2016. An equal-opportunity offender, John's comedy transcends racial and cultural barriers—appealing to black, white, and brown audiences, the young and old, upstanding citizens and the morally bankrupt. John's style is shrewd, raw and uncompromisingly funny.

Comedy is all about timing, wit, and connection. So, what happens when AI tries to master something as nuanced as humor?  In this episode, we bring together Tony Deyo and Wilfred Padua to tackle whether AI can truly generate humor.

Come see the great Tony V. THIS Friday Sept 13th at The China Blossom in N. Andover MA, where he'll be hosting and headlining night one of CFP's Wicket Funny's 2nd annual “Funniest Person In Merrimac Valley” contest – Jacques (and former CPP guests Wayne Russell from Open Mic Pain Podcast and Lauren Simms) will all be participants in. A lot of great stuff has happened with Tony since being on our podcast in March.  Now, we're not saying ALL of it is a result of being on our podcast but we're not, NOT saying that either.  Hey, the “CPP Bump” as it's known industry wide, has really helped a lot of careers … according to our own research (which is proprietary and we won't be sharing with the class.) Sure, it could be part strategic self-serving scheduling on our part back in March.  It COULD be part coincidence.  And sure, an argument could be made that these things have come about due to a life time of hard work by Tony and him being one of the best comics to ever come out of the greatest city for stand-up comedy ever.  BUT his “Life Time Achievement” award from Jim McCue & The Boston Comedy Festival this year DID happen after being on our podcast.  His ridiculously funny Comedy Dynamics special, “Wait Till You Hear This” did come out on Apple TV, Amazon Prime (and dozens of other places) AFTER he was on CPP.  Tony was also prominently featured on the very cool John Tobin Productions launch video for their “Lil Chucks” comedy club and also, when Jacques was in LA a few weeks ago, Tony did get to co-host with the very talented Gus Vireiros at The Yard Theater in Hollywood an amazing show with Bobcat Goldthwait, again all this happened AFTER having been on CPP ... and now, this Friday's Wicket Funny CFP hosting headlining gig … come on. Hope you can get a ticket for what will be a sold-out show on Friday.

Most Saturday's Liam is at McCue's Comedy Club in Portsmouth – Also a regular at Smitty's Cinema's (in Maine & NH) as well as City Winery in Boston to name a few places.  He is also an integral part of the Boston Comedy Festival production team. After time in a college improv troop, Liam spend a few years in Los Angeles working the comedy scene (where he cross paths with our great friend of ours Sally Mullin's - Sleazy Does It On Amazon Prime) Liam's material is very open, personal and relatable. He's liked by and he cracks up all the big name comics (like Tony V) he works with and also goes out of his way to help the new comics (like Jacques) get stage time (as a comic and a host0 and is always so encouraging and supportive.  Between his kindness and being 6-6 and build like a lot 70s Buick station wagon, Liam exemplifies the term gentle giant … but I still wouldn't want to heckle him. Also, a big thank you to Liam for letting us use clips from his awesome comedy album: Please Forgive Me (available on Apple Music and other places … and there are some fun clips on YouTube as well).

Casey Crawford, Co-Champ of the 24th Annual Boston Comedy Festival 2024, a Jimmy Kimmel Alumni and most likely the ONLY guest we'll ever have on from South Dakota! Casey made up for a (very) late start in comedy with an insanely meteoric rise the first couple years in comedy … and to do so from Nebraska's 5-person comedy scene … WHAT? Casey is an absurdist comedian who delivers his out of left field jokes while in a semi crazed, let's give THIS guy some space when he gets on the subway, character.   We had the most insanely fun and cerebral chat regarding breaking down the mathematics of a good fart joke.   Casey Crawford – IG: CaseyCrawford1978   Jacques on IG/FB: Carnivalpersonnelpodcast – TiKTok: JacquesFunny                  Twitter is @CarnivalPodcast @TheJacques4 Biff on Twitter is @BiffPlaysHockey Joe on Twitter is: @Optigrabber   Opening Song: WKRP Theme Song Parody (By Joe and YouTuber: Chipboy)   Closing Song: Beyond Id – Laid off “The Stovin' Years” (BeyondId/Spotify)

Zooming in to chat with us from arguably one of the top 10 cities in the world over all and top 5 (maybe top 3) for comedy, Toronto! Incorporating a life time of professional dancing (Belly, Irish Step, Ballroom … not sure about Breakin') into her comedy – really makes her stand out! Super fun chat in which Anjelica does argue the fact that YES, the driving 6 hours to gigs DOES count as part of your 10,000 hours IF … your working material and coming up with bits (as she does with her boyfriend who is also a comedian) … Jacques listening to Pavement albums and Jack Benny Radio shows from 1938 on his drives … Not as much.

The former Saturday Night Live star Kevin Nealon joins Radio Boston ahead of his stand-up set at City Winery Thursday.

3/25/24 From losing track of days while playing cards at the infamous Ding Ho comedy club in the early 80s to being the FIRST comedian to perform at Fenway Park (opening for pal Bill Burr in 2023), comedian and actor Tony V has been a Boston Legend for over 40 years. TOMORROW March 25, 2024 at The City Winery in Boston as part of The Boston Comedy Festival, Tony will be getting his Lifetime Achievement Award, recognizing all he has done and means to the City of Boston. If there was a fantasy draft of all the comic greats to come out of Boston, Tony is a first- round pick on everyone's cards. Joe and Jacques saw Tony V and his pal Bobcat at Off Cabot a couple weeks ago and it might have been funniest show they've ever seen (and they see lots of shows!) As an actor, Tony's been in features such as The Town (produced by former CP guest Bill Fay and it premiered also at Fenway) to his BFF's Misfits and Monsters (in which Tony had a full body wax and was painted blue as is the law to play King Neptune) – Tony is also a beloved comedy teacher (just ask former guest Lauren Simms)! And yes, Tony is a Boston comic over 40 so there was lots of talk about Dick Bucks and the word “integrity”.

Been quit the yuk fest last two weeks for Joe and Jacques (SADLY, Biff is on ER this week) - but the numbers of shows they're gone to and a couple nights of watching Joe's Plex till 3am … they might have past the legal limit of laughter allowed.   Jacques has had more “booked shows” in the last month then all last year and is hoping his 1 on 1 classes with mentor Mike Koutrobis and working with Jim McCue on HIS podcast and the Boston Comedy Festival (all next week) will lead to more spots coming up.   A week after talking to the legendary comedian/actor Tony V (sideshow drops next week), Joe and Jacques saw him at Off Cabot in Beverly MA … very nice intimate setting … oh, and Tony V's BFF … Mr. Shakes The Clown, Bobcat Goldthwait. Arguably the best show they have ever been to together … then week later, they (along with Jacques' favorite sister) saw (friend of the podcast) Steve Bjork take his next special … AND Steve's walk out music was Jacques' bands latest release, Tucker (off the Trump Era EP on Spotify under Dan Cray)   Couple nites on Joe's Plex together watching Batman (Adam West), Get Smart, Benny Hill (holds up) … MTV's 1985 year in review,  LOTS of 70's game shows … too much fun.   Where is Kate Middleton? Whiny dbags on (far right) wanna know what drugs did Sleepy Joe get from Hunter AND will we get dick picks (for the record … we hope so.)  Oh and watch Our Flag Means Death and have a good cry.

"I have to laugh or else I might cry." Have you ever felt this way in motherhood? Because I sure have! That time our son threw a tantrum that was (no joke) 2 hours long, or when our daughter has us operating on 1-2 hours of sleep a night, or how about that time the Roomba dragged dog poop through my house (MORTIFYING). Look, we've all had those moments where motherhood feels everything except funny. But if we can't find it in us to laugh at the challenges, the struggles, the complete dumpster fire that is our day-to-day as moms...then how in the world will we survive? This week's interview is with the amazing Alyce Chan, a stand-up comedian out of New York who has re-built her brand around all things motherhood - finding humor in the relatable moments that we all go through! Alyce has a global presence, gracing venues such as The Stand and the New York Comedy Club, as well as Yuk Yuk's in Canada, among others. She was also a finalist at the esteemed Boston Comedy Festival in May 2023 and her work has been recognized by Vogue. To say the least, she's incredible.The best part? She's a mom, just like you. When she's not absorbed in comedy, she's cracking jokes and clinging to her "cool mom" title that she holds with her two wild boys. You're going to love today's lighthearted episode, reminding you that we ALL struggle sometimes, but that the best way to survive is to get really good at laughing at ourselves. Once you're done listening, check out Alyce's social media and let her know that you loved the episode! Follow Alyce on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/momcomnyc/Check out Alyce's website and see where you can watch her live!: https://momcom.co/Support the showLet's connect on social media!

This debut album about grief, stillbirth, and inherited trauma (Liz is also the granddaughter of 4 Holocaust survivors) is heartfelt, vulnerable, and hilarious all at once. “A Very Particular Experience is the testimony I offered to honor my wife's and my first daughter Leo Pearl's stillbirth so as to create something positive from the experience. And while that experience wasn't and isn't funny, the album is,” said Liz.  Liz's comedy has been featured in the Wall Street Journal and she opens for Maria Bamford.

I'm at a TED event when Sarah Silverman takes the stage. She launches into her comedy set and as she gets going, I notice something interesting. A couple of jokes in, some people in the audience are already laughing hysterically. But others are fidgeting and looking uncomfortable with some of her content. My husband Mark turns to me and says, “Stand-up comedy is hard.” I agree and whisper back, “Yeah - that's why they invented Dad jokes. That's much easier - they're like training wheels for laughter.” Stand-up on the other hand is another league and I'd rather leave to the professionals - like my special guest today. Emily Walsh is a stand-up comedian who performs all over the world. And today on the Storytelling School Podcast, she shares how the worlds of comedy and story intertwine from her perspective. In this episode, you'll hear about approaches to comedy shows and being a different version of yourself on stage (even if just slightly), as well as hear answers to questions such as: How do you navigate the challenging waters of potentially offensive jokes to your audience? What role does story play in comedic content creation? How can you ease people into your jokes and get them comfortable with you as you tell your story? And what's the one thing you don't want to leave your audience with? What you will learn in this episode: What the first thing is that you must learn in any performance or presentation How to discover the kind of material that will work for your audience most of the time What you can do to re-engage a disengaged part of your audience Who is Emily? Emily Walsh is a comedian who performs nightly in bars and comedy clubs across New York City. Originally from Boston, Emily moved to New York City after college to pursue her dream of painting scenery for theatre, film and television. She still paints sometimes because comedy doesn't provide health insurance. Emily was recently featured on Kevin Hart's Lyft Comics on Peacock. Her festival credits include HBO's Women in Comedy Festival, SF Sketchfest, West End Festival in Atlanta, Boston Comedy Festival, the Out of Bounds Festival in Austin, and the Rogue Island Comedy Festival in Newport, Rhode Island. She also co-hosts the podcast Alone at Lunch, part of the Morbid podcast network on Wondery, and hosts and co-produces a monthly show at Pete's Candy Store in Brooklyn called Golden Ticket.
