A regular performer in comedy clubs, casinos, and theaters all over the country, Pat has been a choice opener for Sebastian Maniscalco, Tom Segura, and Dan Cummins. He recorded his first album Biggest Thing in 2013, and his latest album Heard Enough Yesterday, hit #1 on the iTunes comedy charts. Both can be heard on iTunes, Amazon, and Pandora.Amy Miller was one of Comedy Central’s “Up Next” comics for 2018, and was a breakout favorite in Season 9 of Last Comic Standing. Her Comedy Central Presents set has been viewed over 3 million times on Youtube and Facebook. She was also a featured comic on Viceland's Flophouse. On Last Comic Standing, Keenen Ivory Wayans said she had one of the “fiercest jokes he had ever heard.” Originally from the East Bay, Amy found her comedy chops in Oakland and is still a regular at the SF Punch Line and Cobb’s Comedy Club. Her material is personal, political, and 100% authentic. The Laugh Button says “She found a wildly creative way to find empowerment while simultaneously sparking laughter” and Courting Comedy says “Miller juxtaposes an unassuming demeanor with unflinching assurance.” After a move to Portland in 2012, Amy quickly rose to the top of the Pacific Northwest comedy scene, winning Portland’s Funniest in Helium's 2015 contest, as well as being voted Portland’s Funniest Comedian for 2013 and 2015 in the Willamette Week. She was the first woman to win each position and the only one to win all three. Amy’s debut album Solid Gold is available on Kill Rock Stars, and was named one of the top 10 comedy albums of 2016 by the Interrobang. You may have also seen Amy on Viceland or heard her on Sirius XM, NPR, Doug Loves Movies, The Adam Carolla Show, The Bennington Show, Put Your Hands Together, All Fantasy Everything, Keith and the Girl, or her own podcast "Who's Your God?." Amy is a nationally touring festival and comedy club headliner, and she has performed in the Bridgetown Comedy Festival, SxSW, the High Plains Comedy Fest, Laughing Skull, Big Sky, San Francisco Sketchfest, the Bumbershoot Festival and more.

Paul was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia and had a traditional educational experience—went to college, got an Ivy League MBA, then joined the work force with $100k worth of school debt. However, after achieving success in the corporate world (he was one of the first 250 employees of Facebook as VP, West Coast Sales), he finally decided it was time to give in to his true passion. So, he left the high paying tech field behind and dove into the uncharted waters of… stand up comedy. Today, Paul’s comedy career takes him to clubs and corporate events all over North America, where he has opened for top comics like Dave Attell, Norm Macdonald, and Bill Burr. He just recently headlined Carolines on Broadway and in December, Paul headlined the West Side Comedy Club in New York City and is an official selection of the most recent Laughing Skull, Asheville, Cleveland, and North Carolina Comedy Festivals. When he isn’t touring comedy clubs, he is the host of his recently launched podcast, Crazy Money, in which he interviews entrepreneurs, celebrities, authors, and artists with a humorous perspective on money, wealth and careers. The show focuses on how we think about and live with money, as a society and as individuals.

Andrew Stanley graduated from college with a finance degree. He always thought he was funny but didn’t know how to explore writing comedy. A mutual friend introduced Andrew to Scott Dunn, who writes for a lot of great comedians (Listen to Scott’s Episode of the podcast here). Scott recommended Andrew write five minutes of jokes, and then go do them at the local comedy club open mic. Andrew hesitated at first because of a fear of speaking in public. His father and grandfather are well known and respected pastors. Yet, he didn’t see himself as someone who would stand in front of strangers and talk for a living. But he mustered up a few jokes and attended an open mic at the Laughing Skull in Atlanta. With 20 comedians doing five minutes each, he remembers leaving there thinking he wasn’t the best, but wasn’t the worst. He decided to keep at it. Lucky for us he did. We cover a lot of ground on the podcast, including: How his father Andy Stanley influenced my podcast How the School of Laughs podcast influenced Andrew's early days How Lace Larabee encouraged him to pursue comedy Inviting friends out to see you perform Transitioning out of work and into Stand-Up Comedy Who was the last one to decide he should go into comedy full time Balancing church and comedy club events Being dark in the light place and light in the dark place Early successes that have led to more work The Catalyst Conference The blessings of family The benefits of clean comedy Confusing family-friendly with clean comedy Venn diagram of what works in comedy environments Building material that works in all places Starting with a punchline and building the joke from there The necessity of stage time Exploring writing processes Learning when and how to say “no” to wrong opportunities AND A WHOLE LOT MORE!

First episode of the standup comedy podcast called "I Swear I'm Funny". I go over two 5 minutes sets performed at the Laughing Skull in ATL.
Comedy set after Tiffany Haddish at the Laughing Skull lounge in ATL.
I am going to be a bit slow over the holidays with releases. I've stepped down to one every other week for the time being as I am home on the east coast. In this interview, I chatted with Michael Longfellow! Michael is 24 and has already been on Conan, placed 2nd in Laughing Skull comedy festival, helps run Arizona's Big Pine Festival, was a TBS Comic to Watch, and can be seen on Hidden America with Jonah Ray. In this interview we touch on: getting into comedy, not joining a frat, college comedy at ASU, circumventing the gatekeepers, having a relationship and doing comedy, starting over in LA, running a festival, Laughing Skull Festival and his Conan Stand Up Set.
Back for another facebook LIVE edition of PWW, Tony Schiavone and Beau Le Blanc broke down the world of Pro-Wrestling as only they can. Beau went to Tony's live show at the Laughing Skull last weekend and Tony discussed doing that and what him and Conrad have planned for the future. Tony was also educating us on the latest with MLW and asked whether it seemed like "independent" promotions were making a greater effort to lock down talent lately. Ronda Rousey is currently WWE Raw's biggest star as she's been getting a lot of airtime lately, so Tony and Beau debate what that means for the program over all. Sasha Banks and Bayley finally uttered the words, "Women's Tag Team Champions" on TV, which Beau has been suggesting for months. Who would make good teams? Seems like several are already established. Over on Smackdown Beau wondered why we so rarely see Shinsuke Nakamura and Tony wondered why we keep seeing Jeff Hardy vs. Randy Orton. Beau made a face turn of sorts by shaving his face, which Tony was NOT in favor of, but the heel turn by Daniel Bryan was welcomed by both men. Listen at your leisure and let us know what you think at @PWW929 on twitter and facebook.
After one of their trademark hiatuses, PWW's Tony Schiavone and Beau Le Blanc returned to the 92-9 Digital Studio for another facebook live edition of Pro-Wrestling Wednesday! Recapping Tony's travel woes that scuttled the last episode attention turned to his upcoming live show Sunday, December 2nd at Laughing Skull lounge. (General Admission Tickets Still Available) Then of course, attention turned to the latest from WWE Television. Did WWE buy all the leather jackets for their roster? Why were two segments on Raw filmed at Medical Facilities? Is it possible WWE are paying to much attention to what people say about them on the internet? What can be done to elevate Finn Balor, Shinsuke Nakamura and other exceptional NXT talents that seem to be treading water on the main roster? How does one pronounce Battle Royale? Tony and Beau attempt to answer these questions and more, this week on Pro-Wrestling Wednesday.

Born and raised in Jackson, MI Katrina Pope, moved to Atlanta the summer of 1996, started putting her vision of becoming a comedienne together on February 18, 2010, when she woke up to an epiphany. “I want to be a comedian!” She immediately started to follow her dreams. The road to where she is known wasn't easy but she's remained determined, aggressive and humble the entire way.A self-proclaimed “professional student” she has worked various jobs throughout her life, to include being in the Military for 10 years, Paralegal, Esthetician, and Bartender. Never being able to find excitement in Corporate American, coupled with being fired for her “attitude not being conducive to the work environment” she started bartending. Bartending allowed her to develop her alter ego “Kspot”. Her flexible schedule of bartending 3 days a week, allowed Katrina to attend, St. Leo University and finally graduate in June 2009 with a BA in Criminal. She later decided to take the LSAT in hopes of becoming a Criminal Defense Attorney, yet quickly learned a score of 125, was more like her ideal weight that an competitive score to attend law school.Already known for her “Brutally Honest” attitude, Katrina quickly familiarized herself with the stage. Katrina Pope started her comedy career in Montgomery AL, opening up for the nationally respected comedian Doug Williams on April 9, 2010. Despite the microphone malfunctions and colorful language, Katrina, was able to make the crowd laugh and look good while doing it. After her first show, she developed her tagline “I just look like this” after getting several sideways compliments from the crowd on her looks. “I just look like this” let everybody know that even though she's cute and prissy, she's been through some trials in her life and she's able to relate to all women. In less than 6 months, Katrina has performed for a sold out crowd in her hometown of Jackson, MI, along with gracing the stage at Uptown Comedy Club, Laughing Skull, Phat Comedy, Atl House of Comedy, Back Stage with Bruce Bruce, Miami Improv, West Palm Improv, (opening act for comedy veteran Marvin Dixon) Laugh Lounge, in New York, Moca lounge in Harlem, NY, and hosting her own comedy room and New Year Eve's Party at the legendary Justin's Restaurant.

Oh weather outside is frightful. Eh. But nonetheless, Welcome to the holiday 2017 episode of the Dana Gould Hour, recorded high atop in Los Angeles at Falcon's Lair Recording Studios. We have two incredible interviews and a heapin' helpin' of audio extras for your listening pleasure. First of all, it IS December, and that calls for a year-end recap. Last year, I'm sure you recall how, prior to election day, we all thought we knew how the year was going to turn out. Well it didn't quite work out that way, did it? So joining me at the mic today is none other than Mike Murphy. I'm a Democrat, he's a Republican but outside of that, we walk alike, we talk alike, we even wear our socks alike. Mike has no love for the President, and neither do I, but he has some excellent insight into how the other side approaches this most unique period on out history. Joining Mike and myself is Pete Aronson. Pete has held many an executive position in show bidness, as well as being a very talented writer and all around funny guy in his own right. If you are a fan of Stan Against Evil, you have Pete to thank for it. But more than all of that, he's a smart cookie and I'm eager to get this rolling. We also have Danny Bland with us. Compared to Mike and Pete, Danny is a disreputable hobo. Hobo, I say! And that's why we're friends. Danny is, among other things, the road manager for The Blasters, and, yeah, I'd say he has some stories. He's also the author of the excellent novel In Case We Die which details his oh so fun recovery from heroin and the people he met along the way, Danny, well, you'll hear it. I'd like to have Danny on every month. He is the real deal. For details, tickets and links to all of my live show malarkey, please visit the live appearance page at DanaGould.com. I will be back at one of my favorite clubs in the country The Laughing Skull in Atlanta on Jan 4th, 5th and 6th, and then I'll be back up to San Francisco on Jan 18th, 19th and 20th for good ol' Sketchfest. On Jan 19th at the Marines Memorial Theater, the folks who brought you last year's live staged reading of Plan 9 From Outer Space are reconvening for a live stage reading of The John Travolta classic, The Boy In The Plastic Bubble. It stars not only Stan Against Evil actors like me, Janet Varney, Deborah Baker Jr and Nate Mooney, but also Scott Adsit from 30 Rock, Maria Bamford from Lady Dynamite, and Steven Ogg from The Walking Dead, as well as Bob's Burgers' Ron Lynch. The Boy In The Plastic Bubble. See it. We want to put our germs on you. Lastly, if you are in the DC area, I will be at the Arlington Drafthouse in in Arlington, Virginia on Feb 2nd and 3rd. http://DanaGould.com
Today's show features two amazing guests, author, actor, podcaster, husband, father, men's facial hair advocate John Hodgman is here. Many people first became aquainted with John from his appearances on The Daily Show, but he is so so so much more than that, and he has an excellent new book out now called Vacationland and he is here to discuss that, and so much much more. Also, I was recently in the lovely city of Chicago, Illinois where I was able to speak with the one and only Rich Koz himself, otherwise known as Svengoolie. He of ME-TVs SciFi Saturday night. An American institution and, as America's leading horror movie host, a man I am somewhat if not very jealous of. http://DanaGould.com Speaking of me, which is a great title for a book, you may want to come see me perform my live comedy all professional joke telling show. December 14, 15 & 16, I'll be in San Francisky Ca. at the Punchline. My good buddy Emma Arnold will be joining me at those shows. They're sure to sell out, so get your tickets early. And then show up, and get them oily. Jan 4, 5 & 6 I'll be in my home away from home Atlanta, GA. At the Laughing Skull. One of my favorite clubs in one of my favorite cities, how can you go wrong? Feb. 2 7 3rd I'll be in Arlington, VA. At the Alamo Drafthouse and Cinema, so all my DC friend are encouraged to hie on out, and Feb 22 – 24 finds me in Denver, CO. at The Comedy Works. For details on all of this and more, toddle on over to Dana Gould.com and click on the See Me Live page. Or Calendar or whatever it's called. You'll see it. DanaGould.com And nowwwwwwwwwwww let's do, our filthy business.

Matt Knudsen (Kah-nood-son) was born in Hawaii, raised in the Mid-west and sailed around the world as a merchant marine. After trips to Africa, Europe and The Far East, he eventually put down his sea bag, he picked up a microphone and began performing stand up comedy all across the country. As an actor, you may have seen Matt share the big screen with Oscar winner Sean Penn in the Warner Brothers feature Gangster Squad or you may also recognize him from his appearances in Emmy winning TV shows like Big Love, Boston Legal or Malcolm in the Middle just to name a few. Matt's also been a part of several high profile commercial campaigns for Volkswagen, Apple and GE; which have aired during the Superbowl and The Olympics. As a stand up, he's appeared on Conan, The Late Late Show and Last Call as well as several festivals, including The San Francisco Sketchfest, Bridgetown, Laughing Skull, High Plains and the prestigious Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal; where he was named a "Best of the Fest." His critically acclaimed albums The Comedy Stylings of Matt Knudsen and American are top downloads on iTunes, heard regularly on SiriusXM radio and "Mix droll observation with a dry, almost hypnotic delivery," (The Onion A.V. Club); and with Knudsen's unique style, "The personal feels universal, and the universal feels personal. The only explanation for this phenomenon is that it's all finely crafted comedy from a strong central voice...a great stand up album."
