What's Up Fool? Podcast

You don't get to witness much new stuff in stand-up comedy these days, but our old friend Ahmed Ahmed was the first to start Muslim/Middle East comedy in the American stand-up world about 10 years ago and we got to witness it taking off. He stopped by the show this week to talk about how he got into comedy, how his parents reacted to him wanting to be a comedian, and our old Hollywood stomping gro...

To say this guy knows us from day 1 is an understatement. Martin Moreno has been touring with Gabriel Iglesias for about 12 years now. Before that, we were young comics struggling for years together on hell gigs, bar shows and anything that paid at least $20. We haven't seen Martin for about 6 years, maybe more and he made it a reunion by bringing his son Hooter and our old friend Ivan (Gabriel's...

Before he was a correspondent on The Daily Show and before he was doing guest roles in all your favorite TV shows and commercials, Al Madrigal was a comic just like the rest of us.
