Carnival Personnel

Biff, Joe and Jacques are together (over zoom) for the first time in a bit and had a lot of fun chatting … Godzilla Day (Nov 3rd) and upcoming Star Wars Life Day (Nov. 17th) and wrapping up Halloween season (well it’s always Halloween Season at Jacques Addams Family /The Munsters house) … but he does chat the high lights this spooky season of working together with Management and their kids at Fright Kingdom in Nashua NH.

And yes … we talked the cosmic shift of the blue tsunami … couldn’t be happier couldn’t be more full of hope … couldn’t be more concern the DEMS will fck it up… but right now … we are happy and hopeful.

Comedian B Smitty is the founder of The Upstage Comedy Lounge in San Antonio TX is are really incredible guest on this week’s podcast.

I’ve been following him on the social for a while and I’m not sure it he trying to tell folks how to run a comedy club or he’s telling folks, PLEASE … do yourself a solid and DON’T run a comedy club.

He literally “brings the receipts” and shows what it’s really like to run a club.

I’m hoping to put faces to name in person my next road trip to LA but in the meantime … give all his socials a follow and if in San Antonio … get to UP STAGE!
