The Bomb Hard

          Holyshit! We've hit the quarter century mark! Episode 25 is with Teddy Bruno who had a really interesting start to comedy because he didn't know he was doing comedy? No one said he was the brightest crayon in the box, he is from Louisiana after all. But he is a really funny comedian and a good friend of the pod.  I think you Brown Pe...

       Good friend of the pod Anthony Mayo may or may not be on this podcast. He was supposed to be, but did he make it? Guess you'll have to listen to find out. 

       There would be no @johnbrowncomedy or Brown Petri Dish if it wasn't for today's guest, Brian Gallagher. Brian has many talents. He's an illustrator(did the logo for this podcast), a musician, a writer, a podcaster, and a comedian. He's kind of all over the place. He's just a very passionate, creative person. We didn't even mention it but he is a winner of...

     This week's pod was a good one with one of my favorite comics I know from Pittsburgh, Andreas O'Rourke. This was a really good talk about comedy in general. Andreas tells us about how bad it sucks to be in Pittsburgh right now and have absolutely nowhere to get on stage. He also tells us about his worst bomb. We discuss how one of the most important things in comedy i...

This week on the is Matt Farkas. We talk about doing comedy at a dive bars, election lawsuits, space force, and Brian Reagan. I honestly would write better episode description but I'm almost positive that no one reads it. If I'm wrong and you're reading this right now shoot us a comment and give us a five star review on Apple Podcast. I'm going to go watch the Browns game now. Have a good day.&nbs...

      On the pod this week, Dave Schwenson. He was the manager of the New York improv during the comedy boom before becoming the talent booker for the Hollywood improv and "Evening at the Improv". He now runs the comedy workshop at the improv locations in Cleveland and Chicago. This guy has stories for days! Everything from Dave Attell being one of his employees to the time he almost killed Dave C...

            On today's pod we talk to Jordan Euell and we covered a lot. Started with the typical comedy during covid talk and got an update on what Jordan has been doing since we haven't seen him at shows very often. We talked about what it's like being single during covid and how dumb covid weddings are. But if you're dead set on not wa...

Today on the pod one of the guys Brandon and I have gotten to know pretty well post covid Drew Gigis. He's hilarious and he's tall as shit. We talk about covid and how it's starting to suck again, what's going on in the news, and how crazy anxiety can get. Drew's comic that has inspired him is a clip from David Cross and it's pretty timely. Happy Native American murder day everyone!

      We decided to do something with this episode and have on a brand new comic to remind us what it was like before comedy became our whole lives. Brooke has a background in improv so she has a lot to work with on stage and she also had a lot of questions for us. This was a great conversation and we actually stayed away from talking about politics in this one. &nbsp...

Trump is over and we have Ray Roberts on the pod. Ray is a local guy that recently moved to Wisconsin and we figured some people might miss him and want to tune in? We had a great conversation with him about comedy to start and we started with a really good point from Ray on how to approach current event jokes and adjust them to keep them in your act after they're not really all that current anymo...

     This episode starts the only way an episode with Ray DeVito should start, with him interrupting our intro song to shit on it. Ray is a New York comic who started in Cleveland and has recently become a friend of the show. We talk to him about what it's like to perform in NYC, work with big networks, and how comedy became his full time job. We also got into two of the g...

In this Episode of Brown Petri Dish we talk to Jeff Shaw and it was a great conversation and pretty informative for comics. We talk about what the comedy scene was like in the 80s when Jeff started and how different it is now. We also discussed his experience with cruise lines and the stigma that sometimes gets attached to it. We did a short news segment and then got into a comic that has mentione...

This was a chaotic episode but I think it still turned out to be a pretty good one. I had construction going on at my house so we had to push the time we were supposed to record back which coincided with Chad having people over. So Brandon and I went solo for a little bit and there's a couple times you can hear talking in the background but we got it done and I'm happy with it. We talk about the p...

In this episode we talk to W Scott about comedy, kidnapping, Van Halen, the vp debate, and of course the president's latest antics. To be honest this is one of the easiest episodes we've done because we've had these kind of conversations about random shit with W Scott so many times before. He's a close friend of the pod and it was long overdue. Hope you all enjoy. 

Today we talked to LA comic Erik Escobar about comedy, trump getting covid, and Melania hating Christmas. Also talk about Pilipino comedian Rex Navarrete.

In this episode we talk to Christian Klink about the latest news and other things. This was a really fun pod complete with Christian fucking up the intro and not checking his phone battery. It was a really good talk though and Christian brings us the comedy stylings of Dan Cummins. 

In this episode we talk to Brett Thomas about comedy, RBG, disgruntled employees, Trump supporter's disgusting hands, and the Detroit undead. We wrapped up with a talk about a clip from Daniel Tosh. We also had some connection issues but I thought some of it was kind of funny so I left some of it in. Plus I figured it would give everyone an idea of the challenges of doing a podcast over zoom.&nbsp...

This episode starts off a little weird because I had to cut a lot out for audio problems. Zoom Podcasting, whatya gonna do? Still a great episode with Jimmy we talk about the Trump/Woodward tapes, gender reveal parties, and comedy legend Dave Chapelle. 

On this episode of Brown Petri Dish we talked to Vaughn Wesley about comedy and the goings on including, USPS, Troops being called losers, and David Blaine doing something dumb again. Then we talked a little bit about Stephen Wright and what the Johnny Carson show meant to comedy.  Follow Vaughn at: Vaughn Wesley on Facebook and Youtube          &n...

In this episode we talk with Tania about Chadwick Boseman, Kenosha, Kimberly Guilfoyle, and wrap it up with Chris Rock. It is our longest episode we've done so far but well worth your time. 

This was a really fun episode to record. Josh is a really funny guy and has a unique perspective on issues because he's not really that into politics. We cover Steve Bannon, Mayor Eric "the gangster" Garcetti, and Putin poisoning yet another critic. Stick around til the end and you'll get to her a clip from one of my favorite comedians and the one that Josh says has inspired him Nate Bargatze.&nbs...

We talk to Ray about how he got his start in comedy, how he got banned from the improv, and how the early 2000s comedy cellar comedians influenced him to do comedy. 

This week we talked to Carter D about comedy, Trump thinking WWII ended in 1917, Beirut's entire government resigning, the Seattle police chief resigning, Kamala Harris, and Louis CK.  Clips from this Episode came from: CBS NEWS BBC NEWS   NEWS 5 Seattle "Louis CK 2017"

Our guest for this episode was comedian Jared Bailey. We talked about comedy and some news stories that were happening that day. This was before Dewine took his second test and came back negative. 

In this episode we talk about what's going in in our comedy lives, Donald Trump, QAnon, and Roger Stone. We also talk about why Mitch Hedberg is one of our favorite comedians and how he influenced our comedy. News Clips in this episode are surprisingl...
