Hello and welcome to another episode of the podcast sensation that's sweepin' the nation, One on Lund! I am host Nathan Lund, and this week it was my pleasure to sit down with the comic sensation that's sweepin' the nation, Troy Baxley! Troy is one of Denver's most well-known comics, spending nearly 30 years working clubs all over the country. He started the open mic at Lion's Lair where Adam Cayton-Holland, Ben Roy, Andrew Orvedahl, Ben Kronberg, Greg Baumhauer, and many more started their comedy journeys. Troy was something of a legend of the Denver scene when I moved here 10 years ago, and it has always been inspiring to watch him perform his craft. In this episode, Troy and I talk about Denver's many changes over the years as well as milkmen, pavers, and street sweepers. You know, real folks! Be sure to email me at OneonLund@gmail dot com with feedback, questions, etc and thanks for tuning in! One on Lund is a painfully personal podcast featuring Denver Comedy Champion Nathan Lund. Nathan has performed the glorious art of stand up comedy for 14 years and has finally ventured into the wide world of podcasting. Join him as he shares his opinions on comedy, life, and all things under the sun. Eternal thanks to Sexpot Comedy and producer extraordinaire Wally Wallace. Big huge thanks to Mutiny Information Cafe and to Rachel Weeks for the One on Lund logos.
