Just The Essentials

Kyle is a comic from Columbus Ohio who has left for bigger and better things! But he’s back visiting so we got him on the podcast to talk shit and laugh our balls off

Tyler Sessamen is royalty around Columbus’s suburb, Polaris.... He kicked it with us for a couple hours at Jeff Lidala’s place and peed with the door open TWICE whilst recording

Henry is one of my favorite comics working today. He’s back with JUST THE ESSENTIALS and we talk comedy and of course a lot of bullshit! Enjoy

Lots of exciting things for this episode. Katie Humphreys is back and James Godwin is back with a new studio for JUST THE ESSENTIALS! We get into a lot. We discuss why Dusty doesn’t do the laundry, why he hates America and why Jeff Lidala will be single forever

Simon Fraser is a young bloke from across the pond, here in Columbus doing comedy and making BIG moves! He was kind of enough to come by and chat with JUST THE ESSENTIALS for a couple hours. We talk about his travels, Ivy League schooling and work on our accents. Pretty fun conversation

This episode made my brain melt... Sam is a promoter here in Columbus making moves for stand up comedy! He’s a bit of a talker so I hope you’re ready for an onslaught of words

This is the nerdiest episode ever of JUST THE ESSENTIALS and I try to keep up! Pretty funny and I really get to know Stevie J, a local comic who’s been doin it for years and still out here killin it

It’s been a year and we talk with Tucker Lappi! Friend of the podcast and a funny comic so the conversation is pretty entertaining thanks for listening this whole time. LOVE YA

Austin is a friend of mine who’s not a comic... But he’s funny and I wanted to talk to him so I did! Jeff was there and SHIT FACED before we even started recording so I’m annoyed.

Meet comedian Yale Reames as we get to know him a little better. he enlightens JUST THE ESSENTIALS on military boot camp which isn’t exactly like pictured and he absolutely hates discussing things he dislikes like Cobra Kai

Join us as we get to know Chris Toyloy, Columbus comic currently hitting as many stages as possible and figuring out stand up for himself! Several bizarre stories and I once again try to hold an intervention for my drunk friends

This episode is as explicit as it gets. Tony and Austin are stand up comics from NW Ohio! They are both HILARIOUS and offensive not JUST offensive. A comedic trait that most open mic comics think they possess and don’t.. These guys are great, so enjoy!

Pinak Patel is a Columbus comic and tbh.... He’s a good dude. He won’t tell us where he was on 9/11, but we still love him here at JUST THE ESSENTIALS!

Jaye Spade is a Columbus rapper and friend of Jeff Lidala’s, so that makes him a friend of JUST THE ESSENTIALS!

Local comic and bread enthusiast Halima Abshir stops by to witness the dismantling of JUST THE ESSENTIALS as I scream at Dusty! Overall we have a great time talkin shit so enjoy! TICKETS FOR THE MARK NORMAND show featuring Lukas Mateus and Jeff Lidala are limited and goin quick! Use promo code PA2021 when purchasing tickets. anightofcomedy4pa.simpletix.com

JUST THE ESSENTIALS talked it up with Columbus comic Kris Johnson. He’s quiet but I enjoy hanging out with Kris cuz I too hate having to shout over loud mouths

Austin is a friend of mine who’s not a comic but should be. Listen while he gives us 2hrs of some pretty funny stories that I set up terribly

2020 is over and I’m here to express to myself how I feel about it... Thanks for listening as I bring you on into the new year

Me, Jeff and Dusty get together before the year ends and try to get through a conversation without me losing my mind

I’m in a good mood today so let’s discuss CNN, Christmas and how free Spotify sucks now!

Dec 17 2020 Listen to this episode where I myself try to censor my filthy mind a little and still end up talkin about poop somehow..... Xavier regrets telling his mom he was going on a podcast and a Dusty claims stand up comedy is dying and has been since the late 80’s😂

Dec 09 2020 Sat down and chatted with me about myself... It’s riveting

Dec 05 2020 Shaena is a Columbus comic who’s been hitting as many mics as she can, even during COVID! We discuss a lot of issues and. Even argue a little... I don’t get along well with others, but that’s why I do this podcast!

Nov 26 2020 Brian Harris is easily one of the best NEW comics I’ve seen in a while, so I was excited to talk to him and he definitely delivered! This episode is heavy.

Nov 20 2020 Astrea Ashe and Cecil Herman are my favorite local comedy couple and this sure is a wild ass episode! Astrea talks faster than my brain functions but damn does she have some creepy stories about creepy dudes and Cecil tells my favorite story about parents I’ve heard in a long time! Enjoy and buckle up it’s a long one..
