We are fortunate to welcome someone who wears all the hats; a stand-up comic, veteran festival producer, the host of ‘The Art of Bombing’ podcast, but most important for when we chose to record this episode: we were lucky to have a tried & true South Dakotan willing to grit his teeth through “the cold” to pod it up for you, our fine listeners. Please welcome to InTALLerable for his Top Shelf Studios debut: Dan Bublitz Jr.!

See Dan perform before he makes his big move back up to South Dakota! His website is DanBublitzComedy.com— You should (must, really) follow him on socials @dbubcomedy

Last but not least, if you liked him here, you’ll probably love him without Sean! If you like Dan as much as us, listen to his podcast 'The Art of Bombing' — Season 10 is inbound!!

We discussed how a job at Hardee’s used to get you & your girl a single-family rental home, we hit the under on how long before Sean mentions Sisyphus, Dan gives free & valuable advice for newer comics thinking about applying or performing on festivals, and we hear the legendary tale of Dan’s corporate-gig bombing which inspired his podcast.  Buried by circumstance doesn’t do it justice, so you will just have to listen.

We are grateful that Dan drove down from Loveland to be on our silly show & eat some smoked chicken wings. It was so cold that we had to take the EATIN’ inside, so the audio might not be the best, but you can still pull up a chair & eat with us over at Patreon.com/InTALLerable
