Podcast appearances and mentions of Vinnie Brand

This episode is what happens when raw honesty, side-splitting stories, and years of hustle walk into a podcast studio. In Episode 34 of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, host Luis Guzman chops it up with Vinnie Brand — stand-up comic, family man, and the mastermind behind The Stress Factory Comedy Club (aka New Jersey's most laughter-infused landmark since forever).If you think this is gonna be just another “I started a business and now I'm crushing it” convo — buckle up. This one's got plot twists, pizza with Robin Williams, emotional gut punches, and a few too many jokes about skinny jeans and U-Haul sweatpants.Vinnie takes us way back — like back-to-the-80s back — when he was juggling a failing marriage, a flower shop, a construction company, and the wild idea to jump on a comedy stage with zero prep. What happened next? He killed… then bombed… then got blackballed… then built a full-blown comedy empire from a basement in Jersey.Oh, and he once got kicked off stage for Robin Williams. And Robin apologized to him. (Yeah. That part.)We talk:

The Animal Haven shared a terrible story, a volunteer was attacked by one of their rescue dogs. Plus, attorney John Ray was on the phone with Chaz and AJ to talk about some recent details in the Gilgo Beach murders. (0:00)   In Dumb Ass News, a kid calls 911 on mom for eating their ice cream. (15:33)   Comedian Vince Berry was in studio for Stunt or Stupid, taking on the clothespin challenge. For every trivia question he answered incorrectly, he had to add some clothespins to his face. (22:51)   Yondr bags are coming to New Haven schools, so cell phones will be locked up just like they are during comedy shows. Vinnie Brand from the Stress Factory was on with his thoughts on the bags, and shared some stories of booking top talent at his clubs. (35:31)  The Tribe called in their bad days on the job, from injuries involving missing fingers, to nearly tipping over a tanker truck, and accidentally tripping the emergency shutoff for an entire lab. (51:56) 

The owner of the iconic Stress Factory comedy club and all-around hilarious guy, Vinnie Brand, crashes the show to chat about everything comedy. We even convince him to play Read My Lips—because, fun fact, the man's actually deaf—PLUS a whole lot more laughs and chaos!

Can rape be funny? Part two of my conversation with comedian Vinnie Brand hammers away at this and also some misogynistic male comedians - Louis CK, Bill Cosby (of course) - but some good guys like Ray Romano & Eddie Murphy as well. There's a reason why a certain comedian is the only one no longer welcome in his clubs, and it might surprise you. Can comedy be like sex? What drove his mother crazy? And how I land this interview? You gotta listen!  

He may be a comedian and own his own comedy club (the Stress Factory), but that doesn't mean I can't ask him how often he bombs or can he seriously consider himself eye candy. He does a good job at handling hecklers, but let's see if he can handle me.

Vinnie Brand (O&A, Tough Crowd, LCS) is on the show to joke around after releasing his Debut Special ‘RIP Fat Bobby' on Episode 154.

Vinnie Brand and I continue our conversation with no holds barred. We talk about how comedy can be like baseball, chess and, yes, even sex. We veer into cancel culture, whether or not rape can be funny and the Louis CK controversy. Hold onto your hats! WARNING: You'll hear profanity, adult themes and the word "sex."

He's our all-time fave, and we haven't seen him since Christmas, so it was great to welcome comedian Vinnie Brand back to the studio today. He's impossible to write a recap for so just listen to the mad man and thank us later. Enjoy!

What is it about comedians we love? Vinnie Brand, who helps me figure this out, is the most improbable eye candy you'll ever meet, and we have a rip roaring time talking about our buddy Barry Jay,  bombing on stage and some of the great comedians he's worked with. . . even women! He's not afraid of handling hecklers, but let's see if he can handle me.

Comedian Jim Norton was in studio with Chaz and AJ this morning. After a little clarification from Vinnie Brand about who will open and host his shows at the Stress Factory, Jim talked about getting a part in "The Irishman" after a meeting with Marty Scorsese, his time with Opie & Anthony, Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn, and his characters Chip Chipperson and Doug Bell.

Marlon Wayans is at the Stress Factory in Bridgeport, and was on with Chaz and AJ to talk about getting back to standup after the pandemic, which all started with an outdoor show in January. Despite one phone issue after another, everyone had a great time and Marlon really appreciated AJ's Vinnie Brand impersonation.  Picture courtesy of The Stress Factory

Today I zoom with New Jersey's own, Comedian Mike Makliewicz, we talk about trash TV, Jersey, poor tippers, slum lords and basement laundry room toilets. I met Mike when I was coming up in the Grand Rapids scene, then he left us all with a broken heart for bigger and better things. Today you can find him hanging out with Bruce Springsteen in Asbury Park, maybe at the Stone Pony. Mike is a great comedian who provided invaluable advice to me when I was starting out and I hold him as a dear friend to this day. The Grand Rapids scene lost a genuine treasure when he moved back to Jersey. If you're in Jersey you can see Mike at various outdoor open mics in parks or under bridges, or at Vinnie Brand's Stress Factory. “Let's Have a Beer” Podcast is available on all extraordinary podcast apps including Anchor, Apple Podcast, Spotify, Pocketcast, Google Podcasts.
