I Guess I'll Do It with Pat House

Andy Gold joins me on the podcast and we have a fantastic comedy chat about his heroin days and how he replaced his drug addiction with comedy. Andy is a hilarious stand-up comedian and has one of my favorite Instagram accounts because of his “Roasting Kids” videos. I love a good nightmare gig story, and Andy leads-off with one here. Great time catching up with an old buddy, give it a listen!

Steph Simon, a tattoo artist and clothing designer, tattooed Dan Cummins and me in Denver and we’ve remained buddies ever since.

Steph and I have a great conversation about the ins and outs of the tattoo industry, creativity, and how her profession is similar to that of a touring comedian. From social anxiety to her funny videos on social media to dick tattoos (yes, you read that correctly), I also learn about the world of tattooing, and just like all of my comedian guests; I ask her to share a horror story from work. GO!

The hilarious Nicole Burch joins me on my latest episode to discuss two areas I am VERY well-versed in stand-up and bartending. Since we share both lines of work, we hit it off immediately discussing the ins and outs of both occupations. We talk about the hilarious Instagram videos she makes at work, discussing comedy with bar patrons, getting material from bartending, and her career in LA. Really fun chat, GO!

One of my absolute favorite comics, Ted Alexandro, returns to the podcast! We discuss performing in arenas with Jim Gaffigan, his musical background, when his Zillow joke was ‘stolen' and made into an SNL sketch, going back and listening to your earliest material and I tell him why his second "Comedy Central Presents…” is my absolute favorite CCP episode.

My latest guest is Tammy Pescatelli and she shares some of the craziest stories I’ve ever heard on the podcast. I love a good nightmare story and Tammy’s did not disappoint. All I’m going to say is a woman in the front row was watching porn on her phone, a wine glass got thrown at the stage, and it still managed to get crazier from there. We talk about her whole career from her very first open mic, MC-ing all over the country, moving to LA, Last Comic Standing and her fantastic podcast, The Cop and the Comedian.

My buddy Mike Mello joins me and we talk a lot of comedy. From his parent’s comedy albums, watching Johnny Carson and that first SNL cast, we talk about all the things that led him towards stand-up and talk about his career and touring with Russell Peters and Tracy Morgan.

Growing up outside Philly, I heard Joe Conklin on the radio my entire childhood; he was one of the first comics I heard tell jokes, do impressions, and sing hilarious music parodies, so I was super excited that Joe sat down with me to talk about his career, which began while Joe was just a kid. Impressions of family members, teachers, and celebrities were the catalyst for what would become his calling. From class clown to stand-up comedian, we discuss his impressions of local celebrities (and those that didn't care for his impressions of them), nightmare gigs, a career in radio, and - of course, Lenny Dykstra.

My very first podcast guest, JoAnn Schinderle, is the first guest to return to I Guess I’ll Do It (with Pat House!) The podcast has come a long way since that first episode and it was great to catch up (and chat for more than 15 minutes.) From stand-up, acting, television work, and moving from LA to NYC to take the reigns at the brand-new UCB theater, we discuss her career, talk stand-up and the fun times we’ve had crossing paths around the country.

Quick solo episode wrapping up 2023! I recap the year’s best episodes, my year on the road, and my bed bug situation in the Midwest. Thanks to all the listeners - cheers to more killer episodes in ‘24!

My first friend in comedy, David James, joins me on my latest episode! We talk about our early days doing open mics together, cutting our teeth in Philly, awful nights on the road, and the meaning behind his special “One Camera.”
