This week on Yes But Why, I had the pleasure of speaking with Arizona-based stand-up comedian, Zack Lyman.

Zack Lyman has been performing stand-up comedy for over 13 years. In that time, he has been written about by such publications as Vulture Magazine, Phoenix New Times, and Comedy Hype Magazine. His live shows are unique and full of energy. Zack recently filmed his own soon-to-be-streaming comedy special, The Big Laugh.

Recently Zack became a TikTok Partner, tasked with creating funny videos to teach people how to use TikTok. He also makes his own videos, tinkering with electronics and fixing arcade games via @thriftingwithzack. His podcast, an interview show which is aptly named “Zack Lyman Podcast” has been featured in the Top 80 on Apple Podcast charts.

Zack was such a fun guest to talk to! He had great stories and he was so amiable. In our conversation, Zack told me how he went from barista to open mic host to stand-up comedian. He imparted his joke writing process and the ways his own style has changed over the years.

Zack discussed how great it was to have his TikTok projects during the pandemic and how it helped him to feel creatively fulfilled even when there was no stage to tell jokes from.

Zack is a great guy and is clearly working to lift up all the comedians around him. He has organized a tour of his fellow comics and got a lot of his friends out on the road. Zack also produced, The Big Laugh, a streaming comedy special he made to showcase his comedy community.

Support Zack Lyman by watching his TikTok @thriftingwithzack and listening to “Zack Lyman Podcast” on Apple Podcasts.

BuppaLaPaloo & the I LOVE MEs is about the most powerful, little bear on the planet! A lonely, sad little boy who sits alone on a bench is asked by BuppaLaPaloo what's wrong. The little boy explains he doesn't know who he is because everyone else is giving him definitions of how they see him: shy, not big enough, not a good playmate, etc. BuppaLaPaloo explains that the only person who can define him and decide who he is is him! BuppaLaPaloo leads him through the process of deciding what he wants and then deciding to BE that. in a powerful way that ends with joy and hugs all around. The lessons of BuppaLaPaloo books are centered on self-love, empowerment, choice, and action for children at the beginning stages of defining themselves, which define their lives.

Rebecca and Dee talk about how a child is given individual life perceptions by the time they are eight years old. Dee also described the importance of accepting and giving gifts to ourselves. She also talked about how love is the essential component to creating change and "the answer is to BE the frequency of love."

This week on Yes But Why, I talk to improviser, Chris Griswold.

Chris Griswold is the founder and Academic Director of Thunderbolt Comedy.

Having taught improv since 1999, Chris is currently one of the world’s most prolific improv instructors, coaching more than 800 hours in 2014 alone. Chris is a writer and actor, appearing in commercials for Android and the Brother P-Touch Label Maker, as well as PSAs for the United Nation’s #HeForShe program, and Project #UROK.

Originally self-taught through weekly Pittsburgh improv jams, Chris has since trained with Upright Citizens Brigade, The PIT, Magnet Theater, The Annoyance Theatre, and Arcade Comedy Theater. Chris is now supporting the improv community in the San Francisco Bay area with Thunderbolt Comedy. They also teach private workshops for business and conferences on topics such as branding, team-building, and creativity training.

I was absolutely enchanted by Chris, as I’m sure you will all be as well. In our conversation, we discussed how Chris immersed themselves in the NYC improv scene, and how they have now relocated to the San Francisco Bay area. Such big important improv communities; so much going on.

Chris talked a lot about how important it is for people to be nice to each other. They said that when they teach improv, the effort is to unlock a performer’s true potential, to show the students how they are great.

We got into a big discussion about some bad behaviors Chris witnessed in improv communities across the country. We discuss diversity and inclusivity.


When the pandemic hit, Chris had been coaching steadily through Thunderbolt Comedy. But then, when in person meetings stopped, they had to find another way. So Chris and developer friend Michael Parlato created Pineappl, a Video App for Live Performance. It is an alternative to Zoom, that functions better for live collaborative performance like improv. This app is used regularly by such institutions as Queen City Comedy to host their online jams.

Chris Griswold is a kind-hearted performer and teacher. Support Chris by connecting with Thunderbolt Comedy about coaching (in person and online available) and by checking out and using the Pineappl app!

Rebecca talked with guest Jerry Della Salla who is United States Army combat veteran, both stage and film actor, writer, producer, stuntman, author, and boxer. While in the Army, he served a year with the 18th MP Battalion and 306th MP Unit – OIF3. He studied with Stella Adler and graduated from the NYU Tisch Drama program. Jerry has over 35 entertainment credits and co-starred with the late Victor Argo in his last film, Personal Sergeant. He also co-starred opposite Matt Damon in Green Zone. Earlier in his life, Jerry performed with Edward Norton Off-Broadway in Waiting For Lefty and also with Peter Dinklage in Taming of the Shrew. He boxed amateur in the NJ Diamond Gloves and trained under Hall of Fame coach Tex Gonzalez. He is a company member of Pacific Resident Theater in Venice, CA. 

Jerry shared what compelled his Army enlistment and how it correlated with his entertainment career. His love for, dedication, and commitment to our country drove him to take a stance that rose from an attack on U.S. soil. His experience and unwavering reverence for Christ inspired him to create and write a play. After deep and continued prayer, Jerry received an answer that lead him to bring it to life. He then sought a business partner who had specific gifts that could convey and evoke the message needing to be delivered. The title is Miracle at Camp Redemption. 

Jerry detailed how he has been able to vocal his work as a poet, specifically war-themed poetry as a side passion to his current writings. During this fun conversation, Jerry pointed the audience to thought-provoking and life-changing insights that are sure to inspire.

In honor of Sgt. Della Salla's service, below is what many who have seen him on screen may not know...

"On April 2nd, 2005, SGT. Jerry Della Salla was wounded in a three hour long base attack while serving in Iraq. At the time, it was the single largest attack on any base in theater. The battle to this day has also held a unique place in the wars history, because every single military component (Army, Navy, Marine, Air-Force and Coalition troupes) fought side by side to fendoff the enemy. For his actions, Jerry Della Salla was awarded the Combat Action Badge and is under review for the Purple Heart. Other Medals and citations include the Army Good Conduct Medal, the Army Achievement Medal, The Generals Coin for Excellence, The Iraqi Campaign Medal and the Global War on Terrorism Medal."
