Howdy boys and girls we’re back with another episode! This weeks guest is none other than the son of the ice cream man himself Martin Amini. This episode was a lot of fun, Martin and I got to sit down and talk comedy from him self producing his half hour to his new special on YouTube. We also talk about how the quarantine has effected Martin and his comedy career, Martin had just recently moved to LA and was growing his show “The Overachievers” and had found a home for it at the legendary Comedy Store. The east coast counterpart of his show can be seen at the DC Improv, so if you’re in either area please keep your eyes open for Martin and The Overachievers.
