We also talk about our love for Norm, and our shared experience of sucking at little league baseball. You’ll even hear Louis do some of his impressions…including that of Steve-O and Ronald Reagan.

Coble Panetti is a new friend of mine in the local comedy scene. Got to know him on this episode, and he’s a fascinating guy. Recently moved to Columbia, Coble Started comedy five years ago at the Coffee Underground in Greenville. In addition to standup, Coble is a prolific painter, poker player, golfer, and all around smart dude. We talked about his golf career, and how mental skills in golf relate to standup. We also discussed psychology, neuroplasticity, meditation, dreams, and a lot more. I really enjoyed this interview. Follow Coble at the links below, and hope you have a great week!

Alexis Ramirez is one of my favorite people in Greenville comedy. She reminds me of a young Rosanne Barr (minus the tweets). She has infectious positivity, smart edgy jokes, and is always fun to hang out with.  Beyond her standup, she’s a talented singer, so catch her at Sharkey’s or Smiley’s for karaoke after a comedy show, and you won’t be disappointed. On this episode we talk about vapes, being the new girl in a standup scene, God, and more.  Follow Alexis at the links below, and I hope you enjoy the interview!

The girls took over the podcast this week. Liz Parke and Whitney Rayner are two local Greenville comedy favorites who have both been on the show before. Whitney stopped by on her recent visit to GVL from LA, and Liz, the “it” girl of Greenville, came over just to hassle me. Love both of these girls…very funny, and you should check them out on stage here in the upstate, or out in California for Whitney if you can. On this episode we talk about accents, marriage, dating, and more.  Follow them at the links below, and I hope you enjoy the interview!

Chavis Lipscomb joins the podcast today. Chavis is a new friend of mine.  We initially met 2 years ago at the Comedy Zone where we both started doing standup. Chavis is originally from Salisbury, NC and just recently relocated to Greenville and is now active in the scene. His style of comedy is preferably controversial, self deprecating, and observational. In this interview, we talked about how we would protect ourself in jail, the importance of stage time, standing up for yourself (in life), and I share the first 2 jokes I ever performed. Had a great time getting to know Chavis. Follow him at the links below, and I hope you enjoy the interview!

He’s not a standup comic (yet), but he’s a prolific guy with a passion for creative Gen Z side hustles.

On the side he does photography, street painting, and makes hilarious videos on TikTok. He has 70,000 followers and growing. On this episode, we talk about what we would do if we had millions of dollars, tips on how to grow your TikTok following, the different perspective of Gen Z vs. Millennials and older, local standup, and more.

Tucker Lawson is back on the show. Tucker is currently in Law School at the University Mississippi, but he took time away from his summer break to do the podcast. I always enjoy talking with Tucker because he’s smart, hilarious, and likable. In this episode we talk about dip, law school, Pete Holmes’s spirituality, and standup. Check Tucker out on stage in GVL and Asheville this summer, and follow him at the links below.  Hope you enjoy the interview.

Today our guest is Tekscher Feel! (Tek for short). She’s one of our favorite people at the Comedy Zone, where she works part time as a server. While Tek isn’t a comedian, she is a talented painter, Yoga instructor, and mom. We sat down at CZ before a show, and talked about Tek’s favorite local comics, she displays two of her favorite paintings for the camera, and she told the story of the time she and her boyfriend robbed a bank! Tek also shared great life advice.  I really enjoyed getting to know Tek better; she’s awesome. Follow her at the links below, buy her art, and be sure to come say hi in person at the Comedy Zone.
