Comedy On 11!

For anyone following the Giacomo Turra situation, I guess the title is a little click-baity, but by the end of the episode, I promise you, I had a reason to thank Giacomo Turra, because his entire situation is the reason why I came to the decision that I did.

For those of you NOT following the situation, an internet guitarist named Giacomo Turra was called out for some egregious crimes against the internet guitar world.

This is a very special episode of Comedy On 11, where I talk about comedy & music. Usually with a comedian friend, but this time, I talk to you... or myself, really to go over this controversy, how it overlays with comedy, and how I came to a decision about a big career move. If you like the episode and want to see or hear more, please like the episode, subscribe to the channel and share the show.

Here are the links to the videos I mention in the episode from Danny Spanko, Rick Beato and Adam Neely.
