Flashback Episode of The Father Time Podcast with Jamie KalerOne of the best things about doing this podcast is reaching out to some of my favorite comics/dads to come chat. And this week's one. Greg Behrendt is most notable for being a best selling author of the national phenomenon, "She's Just Not That Into You" which became a movie of the same name. He was a consultant on "Sex and the City" and "Committed", and he's done stand up on almost every late night show including The Tonight Show, Conan, and The Colbert Report. He even had his own talk show called, you guessed it, "The Greg Behrendt Show" . When I first moved to Los Angeles, he was one of the crushers that you would see around town at Largo, UnCabaret and all the other packed shows where the best comics in town would just destroy. I LOVED his act. He would kill. So glad he brought his brand of humor to Father Time. He's a great dad and really funny. Hope you enjoy!You can catch more of Greg Behrendt at: https://stevetrevino.com/On Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/itsgreggers/https://gregorybehrendt.com/You can catch The Parent's Lounge live every Tuesday Night 10pm EST/7pm PST at:https://www.facebook.com/theparentslounge#theparentslounge #gregbehrendt #hesjustnotthatintoyou #comedycentral #parentingpodcast #jamiekaler #jasongowin #katemulligan #comedians #parentingadvice #funnyparents #hilarious #cohosts #Itscalledabreakupbecauseitsbroken #tiktokcomedy #marriageadvice #dadlife #standupcomedy #parentinghumorJamie Kaler's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jamiekaler/Jason Gowin's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jasongowin/Kate Mulligan's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/katestmomever/The Parent's Lounge TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@theparentsloungeshowTags: The Parent's LoungeDadpocalypseThe DadlandsFather Time

Beth Lapides is a comedian, writer, producer and the Host of UnCabaret. UnCabaret is a legendary alternative comedy show which has helped define the genre over 25 years ago. In short, it's a progressive storytelling show where comedians tell true stories they've never told on stage before. (No rehearsed bits, no derogatory jokes.), a real game changer in the industry. For more than 25 years, UnCabaret has been the un-homophobic, un-xenophobic, un-misogynistic and un-hacky place for comedy luminaries to tell stories ripped from the headlines of their lives. UnCabaret has been adapted into an Amazon Prime series, a Comedy Central special, and five critically acclaimed albums. Its notable guest list includes Bob Odenkirk, Patton Oswalt, Margaret Cho, Sandra Bernhard, Kathy Griffin, Maria Bamford, Julia Sweeney, Tig Notaro, Jon Stewart, Jennifer Coolidge, Sarah Silverman, Natasha Leggero, Sam Jay, Ali Wong and countless more. Her new book So You Need to Decide, features conversations with comedians, writers and cultural icons about making decisions in family, work, love, moving, and spirituality. It's part memoir, part interviews and I recommend you grab a copy.  Beth is all about authenticity and self-reflection, as reflected in both the audiobook and UnCabaret. She loves to explore the stories behind our stories.  This is only a small snapshot of what she has achieved and as you can imagine we dive deep and cover a lot, such as applying for first lady, UNCABARET, regrets, her new book, living your REAL life, yoga, Bob Odenkirk, wounds, pilots that don't get made, addictions and drinking, shame, signs and symbols.

Beth Lapides created the iconic LA comedy show, UnCabaret, which had a Comedy Central special and a series run on Amazon Prime and recently celebrated its 25th Anniversary. Beth got sober 8 years ago and shares some amazing insights here about peace, acceptance, creation and the winding path that took her thru georgraphics, yoga, eviction and angel healing before sobriety.   

Beth Lapides the queen of Alternative Comedy and founder of Uncabaret gives the state of comedy and her opinion on everyone from Hanna Gadsby, Wanda Sykes, Jerry Seinfeld, Eddie Murphy, Bobcat Goldthwait, Louis CK, Roseanne, Netlfix and more and Amazon Eve of American Horror Story tries to stir things up with some odd news reports and conspiracy theories, answers fan questions and lets Mark and Hannah know she's in love (with a 7 foot tall man) and how that happened

It was a fun sized show this week as Mark and Hannah welcomed the queen of Alternative Comedy Beth Lapides and powerhouse singer/songwriter Savannah Pope to the lighter side of the dark side. Beth just celebrated the 25th Anniversary of her show Uncabaret with a star studded show featuring Bob Odenkirk, Sandra Bernhard, Patton Oswalt, Maria Bamford and more. She recounted insisting that Scott Thompson of Kids in the Hall not perform in drag, how Julia Sweeney now regrets her hit character Pat from SNL, how she felt when she saw her comedy nemesis Andrew Dice Clay in A Star Is Born and she had to remind Mark that the Fabulous Mrs Maisel was a fantasy. She also talked about The Rockwell in Los Feliz which is where Uncabaret is now on a monthly basis. Savannah talked about growing up with show business parents (who apparently had jokes about editors) her music video Creature which was chosen as one of the top 20 videos of 2018 by Yahoo, directing her latest video Rock and Roll No More while laying in a coffin in the rain and sang a new song Freeway live in studio

Beth Lapides, the creator of the longtime alternative comedy show UnCabaret, joins Amiira and Greg to discuss long term relationships both romantic and the relationship you have with your own creative work. The crossover of working together and living together that works until it stops working, how a dysfunctional relationship can get stuck in the past and stop growing when you stop exploring yourself, and the realization that you might be squeezing the life out of your favorite person.

Dennis visits the Hollywood home of comedienne Beth Lapides, the host and creatrix of the alternative comedy show The Uncabaret, which celebrates its 25th anniversary with a star-studded show November 18th at the Theater at the Ace Hotel in L.A. She talks about the origins of the show, starting out in comedy in LA in the early 90's and dealing with the Andrew Dice Clay-ness of it all and how her role as host keeps her from sharing too much about what's going on with her. She also discusses how social media has changed the show, the Father's Day show that got really dark, her first time performing in a comedy club, embracing the terms "performo-tainment" and "god-shot," and the goof she made the first time she did stand-up. Other topics include: why she cherishes her key collection, the celebrity death that hit her the hardest, why she loves comedy, apologizing to Betsy Johnson for stealing a skirt, and that time she ran for First Lady of the United States. www.UnCabaret.com

One of the best things about doing this podcast is reaching out to some of my favorite comics/dads to come chat. And this week's one. Greg Behrendt is most notable for being a best selling author of the national phenomenon, "She's Just Not That Into You" which became a movie of the same name. He was a consultant on "Sex and the City" and "Committed", and he's done stand up on almost every late night show including The Tonight Show, Conan, and The Colbert Report. He even had his own talk show called, you guessed it, "The Greg Behrendt Show" . When I first moved to Los Angeles, he was one of the crushers that you would see around town at Largo, UnCabaret and all the other packed shows where the best comics in town would just destroy. I LOVED his act. He would kill. So glad he brought his brand of humor to Father Time. He's a great dad and really funny. Hope you enjoy!

He is one of the most talented people in the game-the game of entertaining, of writing, of directing, of storytelling. He's directed, written or produced some of the most legendary television of the modern age from 30 Rock to The Comeback to The Larry Sanders Show. He is often on stage at UnCabaret spilling it and keeping it real. Beth and Jon chat it up in a great way. Enjoy!

Jackie and Laurie talk performing on Uncabaret, the early days of Alt comedy, and the idea of comedy as “art" and going to strip clubs with dude comedians!

Playwright, Director, Actor, Writer.  Del Shores does all this and more. Creator of the LEGENDARY play & film "Sordid Lives" and "Daddy's Dying, Who's Got the Will", Del has done his part to make sure the naughty heart & soul of small town southern living is given its due, along with the people that make that heart beat happen.  A super fave of the UnCabaret shows, Del Shores talsk to Beth Lapides about a life well sorted, even if it's a bit sordid.

Two of the funniest guys in the game, Randy & Jason Sklar can honestly lay claim to the title of Comedians, and also Sportscasters, and also Actors, and also Husbands and Dads, and also Twins. What we are saying is that they are so much of so much that we love. Beloved member's of the UnCabaret family, they have been seen on everthing from their own Comedy Central specials to Curb Your Enthusiasm, Entourage & It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia, The United Stats of America and UnCabaret's own Amazon episode's. They are double the fun (yes we went there) as they tell Beth Lapides what makes them them.

Beth asks the much loved Tim Bagley: What makes you, you? Tim is a comedic actor with a gift for behind the scenes stories and a knack for a non-self indulgent introspection. You recognize him from his appearances on Monk, 2 Broke Girls, Will & Grace, Ellen, $#*! My Dad Says, This Is 40 and Web Therapy. He was a member of The Groundlings, appears frequently at UnCabaret. His one man show, "Clean Boy, Dirty Stories" is about working as a butler at The Playboy Mansion and he won the Jury Award at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Colorado for his one person show , "Happy Hour." 

Jackie Kashian is a driven, mesmerizing storyteller. Her album "It's Never Going to be Bread" was named one of the top comedy albums of 2010 by Amazon. Her DVD, "This Will Make an Excellent Horcrux" is just out and we get the story behind the story of these two titles as Jackie answers Beth's unanswerable but provocative question: What makes you, you? Jackie has been a guest on Conan, Late Show with David Letterman and This American Life. She is also the host of the popular podcast, Dork Forest, and it's a pleasure to hear on the other side of the podcast mic. Jackie gets into her life as a married person, the importance of hacky sacks, video games and the long road from heckling in the shadows, to storytelling in the light.

She's been everyone from Celine Dion & Martha Stewart on Saturday Night Live, Elpheba on Broadway in Wicked and is currently uber-mom Sheila Shay on the hit ABC show Suburgatory. She is also the queen of Weight Watcher's online.  She is funny, ferociously talented and can not only land a funny but hit a high note singing. Ana Gatseyer talks to Beth Lapides about coffee, food, quaking and a life well lived. 

Steve Cooper talks to Comedian/Actress/Author Beth Lapides. Beth is the Founder, Producer and Host of Uncabaret, a groundbreaking live show that led to the emergence of the "Alternative Comedy Scene" and helped break some of the biggest acts in the business. Beth's Essays, Columns and Opinions have been part of Politcally Incorrect, NPR, The Los Angeles Times and The Huffington Post.
