Derek is comedian that likes to live in the uncomfortable moments of life when performing.  He brings up subjects normal people would never talk about out loud, except he's not normal, he's a comedian.  Well liked by audience and well respected by other comedians.  He has managed friendships with some of the biggest names in comedy.  He is also an award winning film maker.  The discussion Derek, Ace, and I had went deep into the psychology and sociology of comedy.  Derek's is a very interesting guy with great perspective on all things comedy. 

Patrick Collins is not only a comedian but also produces some very successful comedy shows.  Pat had two starts in comedy, one at 18 and another one years later.  His early run in comedy he did open mics with comics like Patrice O'Neal and Dane Cook.  Growing up in an Irish family helps your comedy chops as well.

Colleen Galvin has been a regular on the New England comedy scene for awhile.  She is quick witted and very funny.  Ace and I have known her for awhile but did not know all the stories we heard on this episode.  She overcame many obstacles and bad dates, which made for some very funny stories.

Part 2 of our conversation with Boston Comedy Legend Mike McDonald.  He started in the late seventies and has been a headliner in the New England comedy scene ever since.  Any comedian would love to have Mike's career.  Ace and I have looked up to and worked with Mike for many years, now we get to know his back story.  www.comedianmikemcdonald.com
