Follow Scott @irrelevantscott on socials &...

Our guest — JoJo Pride — is known across Colorado for his unique style & unmissable flair.  It could be that he is the only guy we know who is performing stand-up comedy while rocking his roller blades on stage.  Badass.  JoJo Pride climbs to Top Shelf for an episode steeped in the philosophy of his signature ‘call-sign’ , his motto for life, a mantra for his path to mastery: YAR .  Follow JoJ...

Our guest is Gus Rey, an artist, muralist, and graphic designer from Denver, Colorado.  Instead of wading into the creative waters slowly, with part-time or on-the-side work, Gus jumped head-first into turning his passion into his career.  This commitment to his craft quickly led him into challenging & rewarding projects, like his recent mural: ‘Why Not Be Great’ which featured Denver Broncos...

Our guest is Josh Beaver, a Denver-based stand-up comic, who at age 24 looks wise beyond his years.  But that might just be the fast-livin’ lifestyle he brings to the world.  Or maybe the drugs..?  Josh works at my “rival” comedy club in town, but that doesn’t matter here at Top Shelf Studios, because just like the worst Italian restaurant found in most midwest towns — when you’re here, you’re fam...

Fresh off the East Coast stretch of his ‘Here To Pee’ 50-state Tour, Ren Q is back in Colorado!

Grayson Heath is a returning guest, who told me: “Not much has changed.” Since his last appearance.  Huh.  Odd.  I’d venture to guess that our lovely ‘assistance to the production extraordinaire,’ his wife & older sister to Chris/Klube, our beloved man behind the camera, miiiight have a thing or two to say about that (*see Polaroid of her right jab) We talked about the financial stress of gett...

John Henry Wilson is the host of ‘Mania & Melancholy’.  He is a stand-up comedian from Denver.

Follow John on Insta @John_H...
