Comedians Mark Bailey and Steve Howard discuss difficult problems they are asked to solve by comedy fans, why Mark does comedy, why his kids may not learn anything from Mark's stand-up act, Steve's gum-chewing secrets, Mark's relationship with REM shows, recalling wild open mic and violent drunks we have dealt with on our own staff, why you need to respect the show producer and booker in a comedy show, and substance abuse problems among comics in our experience. Talk Funny is a show about comedians in Japan from all over the world, working in comedy in Japan, writing comedy, working, doing stand up, and getting paid in comedy in Japan. Brought to you by Nagoyaradio.com, Nagoyacomedy.com and stand up comic Mark Bailey.
