Sean Grant

Crewest Studio — Mon, 01 Jan 2024 03:00:00 -0700

If our hosts were going to exploit anyone, they’d choose Sean Grant. During this episode, you’ll find out why. Sean might be unsure about whether or not he’s an artist, but he certainly doesn’t kick off his set with nearly as much violence as the comic he once saw using the term ‘pussy boy’ in his opening line. He knows a thing or two about how hard the Mexican community can party and he’s here to remind listeners that Will Smith is not the inventor of slapping comedians on stage. He also shares his perspective on what a mother’s love can and can’t cure, fertility and family planning, the secret to a long-lasting marriage, and breaking the stereotype that Black men take surveys. Tune in today to hear all this and more!

Jackie Loeb

Crewest Studio — Fri, 15 Dec 2023 03:00:00 -0700

Jackie Loeb is one of those rare comics where the more you watch her, the more you realize that she lives in her own world and that you are just lucky to be there with her! Her humor is also extremely accessible and radiates with unadulterated kindness. That said, this hilarious woman is no joke and will take down anyone that stands between her and a great punchline. After she took part in a video version of Laugh Gallery, we invited Jackie back for a 20-minute set as part of our 420 Comedy Show. Tuning in today, you’ll hear the premise of Jackie’s first feature-length film (a middle-aged woman who tries to break into people’s homes and steal their packages), why she is constantly being addressed in Russian, and how her BMI revealed that she is, in fact, the wrong height for her weight. Her set is filled with incredible one-liners (who else would describe themselves as a proud member of the LGBTQI plus-sized community?) and priceless observations from an Australian living in America. You won’t want to miss Jackie’s rib-tickling outlook on life or her special rendition of an English-French love song!

Warning: today’s episode is only going to get weirder and weirder! Lisa Gopman is a comedian and the co-founder of Oh My Ribs! And she joins us today to give us an overview of her unusual conversations with name-dropping health professionals, a glimpse into her horrendous experience of the global pandemic, and the highs and lows of her recent psychological unraveling. Hear about her podiatrist's comedic suggestions and the highlights from her screenwriting rabbi’s memorable free services. Lisa also shares the story of her father’s coma, assuring her audience that it gets funnier. If you’re looking to adopt a couple of cats, find a new show to watch in a foreign language or learn what not to do at your next Thanksgiving gathering, this episode is for you!

Crewest Studio — Wed, 15 Nov 2023 03:00:00 -0700

The theme of this show by Mark Fernandez is gratitude. From the gratitude he feels to his audience to the gratitude his dog experienced when he pulled an entire Q-tip out of his ass. In a short 20 minutes, Mark manages to cover some seriously big topics like racism, the Me Too movement, the complicated nature of relationships, and aging. Even though Mark has reached the ripe old age of 60 (which has been a rude awakening, as you’ll hear today), he’s still as dynamic and hilarious as ever, and he’ll probably be gracing audiences with his jokes for the next 25 years! Mark is a love bug, very accessible on stage, and there’s no doubt that his 6-word short story, his explanation of his interaction with a coyote, and his takeaways from The Vagina Monologues will have you laughing!

Welcome back to the Laugh Gallery as we continue to bring you brilliant comedy sets from our recent 420 event. Adam Barnhardt is on the mic today, and his impeccable timing and transcendental characterization earn him the title of a true comedic genius! After our hosts break the ice with some amusing country song titles and lyrics, Adam takes the stage to talk about how strange life is in L.A., with anecdotes of owning a dog, the hypocrisy of “woke,” the inconvenience of COVID, and the freaks that exist in every corner of L.A. Adam also reminds us to stop being assholes as he explains why he’s letting go is his resting oh-my-fucking-god face, and why using drugs is still a bad idea. Tune in now to find out why homelessness is freedom, how laughter is medicine, why angry people are easier to trust, and why not all gay people are the same. Adam is a very physical comedian, so his jokes might be a little strange to listen to without the visuals, so be sure to head over to our YouTube channel for the full experience of his wonderful set!

Sean Conner

Crewest Studio — Sun, 15 Oct 2023 03:00:00 -0700

What does the NBA have that Formula One doesn’t? And have you ever considered that the Grinch may be exhibiting some unusual symptoms that typically accompany issues with substance abuse? Today’s guest, Sean Conner, ponders all these questions, and many more in his 420 set at the Laugh Gallery. Tune in for a set that’s bluer than most, with bold takes on topics like kink-shaming, unusual threesomes, and what you can learn about a woman from the type of soap she uses. Sean tells us about loving Dragon Ball Z as a kid, how anime helped him lose his first fight, and why he’s not on board with the fact that Japanese cartoons have become a perfectly respectable interest. To hear all of Sean’s fascinating takes and wicked punchlines, be sure to tune in!

If you’re looking to make a ton of money then maybe podcasting isn’t for you, because as today’s guest explains, she’s been podcasting for 12 years and has only made hundreds of dollars! Jokes aside, we were thrilled to welcome the remarkably talented Christine Blackburn to our 420 comedy event, as she added a touch of class and elegance to proceedings. Christine is a renowned comic, producer, and podcaster and despite her experience, many do not believe her age from behind her youthful aesthetic. Her 20-minute comedy set explores dating apps for seniors, corrupt politicians, life as a flight attendant back in the day, and the ins and outs of raising a non-binary child. Tune in now to hear Christine’s hilarious take on the upcoming mayoral election in Los Angeles, and what it was like for her growing up as the youngest of six in rural Pennsylvania (when her parents just wanted another boy!).
