I am joined by two returning guests of InTALLerable , both Denver Improv guys, stand-up comics, and two dudes that always make me laugh. Please, get all jiggy with it wherever you are reading this & welcome back to Top Shelf Studios: Josh Beaver & Dan Mazzucca!  Follow Josh @_BeaverComedy & Dan @FiftyTwoAD on Instagram for their upcoming dates & more!  Dan’s podcast is called: ‘Din...

My guest is a Denver-based stand-up comic, photographer, videographer, podcaster, son, dog-dad, cat-dad, a kind person — listen, the list could go on indefinitely, but suffice it to say, what a pleasant change of pace to have some lank I can look at eye-to-eye. Ladies & (more likely) dudes, get as wild as he does on the forklift, that’s right, go full pedal to the floor, forklift-certified-wil...

My guest makes his long-awaited return to Top Shelf Studios for another InTALLerable instant classic! Topics ranging from new Tap-to-Cat tech ideas, to fathers riding motorized scooters around Denver with their baby abreast, to the mom scams we’re all falling for; make some noise wherever you are for a stand-up comic who is a mere shaven mustache away from being cast to play the leading man in the...

My guest is a Colorado comic who started performing stand up in his 50’s. To some, that might seem “late” to begin a career in entertainment, but for Lemmy, it meant entering the Loveland comedy scene with an arsenal of life-already-lived.  A hidden but huge advantage in crafting his voice & material, because unlike some (or most) open-mic comics getting their start, Lemmy had already raised c...

My guest is a powerful spiritual entity in human form & one of the kindest souls to join us in our humble Top Shelf Studios , please welcome the first guest to endure our new “hot” lights — Cameron Altman! How would I describe him?? Despite surviving a hellish adolescence fraught with abuse, his positive glimmer — the light he brings the world — continues to shine bright, casting his strong lu...

My guest is a city-boy turned high-mountain-man, the founder of the upcoming ‘Trailhead Comedy Festival’ October 8th-10th in Summit County, making his Top Shelf debut — Joe Buck! Joe is a stand-up comic, a morally strong person, a physically strong human, & ⅓ piece of the three-part pie that he & his buddies have built in the mountains: High Altitude Comedy.  Follow Joe @Bad_NewsBuck &...

My guests are both stand-up comedians, one returning, and one a new friend of the show.  Avery Dauer aka “Leaning Findance,” graces us for a satire-soaked conversation centered around Avery’s life, the state of comedy, and the rapid onslaught of the news & the world.  He is joined on the couch by our (at this point) old buddy, Jacob Humphries.   Follow Avery on Socials @AveryDauerComedy — Foll...

This episode is dedicated to all the teachers that told me I could amount to whatever I put my mind to.  To my high school teacher Mr. L, who told me to “use my powers for good,” instead of wasting my life becoming another lawyer or banker.  To everyone who implored: “Don’t Stop!” through our earliest episodes, or anybody who told me that whatever this ‘InTALLerable’ thing was — that I should not...

Our guest returns to Top Shelf Studios, ready to tell us more claustrophobic stories from his line of hobby: cave-maxing.  Braxton Fuller is the Editor in Chief of Rocky Mountain Caving , a non-profit quarterly journal of caves and caving. He is an MA Candidate at the University of Denver Korbel School of International Studies, the Editor at Large for Mooreposts.com — an international security jou...

My guest is an aerospace engineer, graduate of CU Boulder, a stand-up comic & producer in Colorado’s comedy scene, but most important, a man about to become a father for the first time.  Please welcome, a now-supporter of putting smoked meat into the mouths of our guests — Zach McConnel! Follow Zach on Instagram @Zach. McComedy & catch him perform around town before he goes full dad-mode!...

Sean is taking TSS on the road! For episode 222, I am joined by one of my best buddies going all the way back to pee-wee football; someone who has always had a curious mind matched with an unstoppable drive, making his long-awaited return to InTALLerable for a milestone ep. matched with an experimental multi-cam setup, please welcome: Wood! No need to follow or find Wood because he’s busy making s...

Everyone please, pull up a seat at our table of fuckary for this wild ride.  We saved one chair at TSS for each of the three “houses” of Denver Comedy Clubs.  It’s riff or be killed , in a new survival-style … okay enough of that.  Now that I have your attention, the only real power that this ‘Trilateral Commission’ holds, is the power of self-awareness.  Or at the least, enough of it to know our...

Our guest is returning to an entirely different Top Shelf Studios than the one he remembers from his first appearance.  He is such an O.G. InTALLerable guest, that his first episode was way back in our no-video era.  Thank goodness he could make time for us while he was in Denver, so you all can see his beautiful face; a stand-up comic, artist, and all around high-quality human, please re-welcome:...

Our guest this time is a treat. A treat you can find in a fancy boutique and your favorite mom & pop shop (that probably doesn’t exist anymore). Something sweet with Minnesota nice on the inside and a quick-witted, comedic-genius-in-the-making coating. While yes, it’s heresy ‘round these parts to wear Timberwolves gear, Sam is someone we should make an exception for; so please welcome to Top S...

We are fortunate to welcome someone who wears all the hats; a stand-up comic, veteran festival producer, the host of ‘The Art of Bombing’ podcast, but most important for when we chose to record this episode: we were lucky to have a tried & true South Dakotan willing to grit his teeth through “the cold” to pod it up for you, our fine listeners. Please welcome to InTALLerable for his Top Shelf S...

Ep. 217: New World Order: Do Good. (Ft. John Lamberger & Connor Moore) Our guests are matriculating masters students studying Internal Security at the Josef Korbel School of Global and Public Affairs at the University of Denver .  One is a veteran of our armed forces (Oorah) , the other a veteran of Sean’s Top-Shelf antics & sarcasm.  Please welcome what we around these parts (a garage on...

Returning guests, but this time, together?!   Welcome back two stand-up comics from Colorado Springs, hosts of the now defunct, Beanie Boys Podcast : Cameron MacKenzie & Thad B.!   You should (must!) follow them & keep an eye out for their new revamped show: ‘ Downbad Pod’ A quality hang with these gents from start to finish. We jump from targeted ads on social media for E.D., piercings ‘t...

Our guests are quarter-zipped up, looking fly as hell, and are ready for whatever InTALLerable has in store (hint, a lot).  Both Denver open-mic comics whom Grant loves so much that he provided their quarter-zips & sat in with these fine gentlemen for the EATIN’ .  Join me in welcoming two dudes who we had almost too much fun hanging & eating smoked chicken wings with, it’s dapper & de...

Our guests are two childhood friends who grew up together in South Carolina. Jesse Green makes his Top Shelf debut, promising to keep his clothes on the entire time, and returning fan-favorite, Jacob Humphries, who is always eager to smash some smoked chicken wings & turn up the riff to InTALLerable levels. We learn about the origin of Jesse’s old-timey name, and hear all about working in a lo...

My guest is Tairee Dillard, Denver stand-up comic & returning guest to InTALLerable.  He kindly put up with our non ADA-compliant studio setup, so that we could ring in the new year over some of life’s finer things: Hennessy & Red Bull, smoked chicken wings, and laughter among friends.  The last of which being the scarcest resource in our battle against AI Slop.  Tairee tells me about this...

Santa came late on this release, but only ‘cause his reindeer had a mixup with a Kia Soul.  He said our loyal fans would understand & appreciate the extra anticipation.  Not expecting any extra gifts, but any coal we get in InTALLerable’s stocking would only fuel our rise.   Our guests are old friends, Al, known for his disdain for all things, but especially Christmas, and Sam, professional pr...

Our guest, Brent Gill,  is a stand-up comedian & Colorado-native who began performing comedy while attending CU Boulder.  After years of being a well-loved staple of Denver’s comedy scene, the founder of the ‘Boulder Comedy Show’ & ‘Good Session’ has moved to the modern Mecca (arguably) for stand-up comedy: Austin, Texas.  Brent is a seasoned storyteller with unlimited stage presence &...
