Is This A Bit?

Julie reunites with comics Dyke Michaels and Thaddaeus McKee (and producer Zach!) in studio in Indianapolis for a special 2-part "swapcast." The gang chat about recent gigs, cringey open mics, "bombing" as a child, and toddler potty fiascos. It's a trip!! Check out the second half exclusively at patreon.com/harderbrunch!

It’s a snow day! What better than to record a pod with 2 of your best buds? New to the Ft Wayne scene, Jared Scott, as well as familiar friend (and viral-video maestro himself) Alex Eakin, come to Julie’s to share and discuss their favorite videos. We find out what scares Jared, what weird niches Julie is into, what Julie's 3-yr old does NOT like (we hear from the lil guy himself!), and how Alex came up with the most f’ed up joke he's ever written.

Check out Jared’s podcast “Great BIG Pranks”; follow Alex on tikok and IG @ alexander.the.eakin; follow Julie on IG @ julieheckmancomedy and @isthisabitpod or on twitter @julieheckman.

From quantum physics to pole dancing, true crime to Taylor Swift, and everything in between, TikTok gave us all kinds of content in 2021! Part one of this special end-of-year episode is just the tip (heh) of the iceberg of all the things we learned & loved (/hated?) from this entertainment app. Hosted by Julie; featuring Hazy and Martha.

Julie stops in Louisville, KY to sit down with Katy Bevins! The mom comics talk about their worst bombs and most interesting (bad?) venues for stand-up; Julie learns a lesson about redheads' genetics, and we find out which TV characters Katy would want on her squad in a zombie apocalypse. You can take the girl out of eastern Kentucky, but you can't take the eastern Kentucky out of the girl. Check out @julieheckman0 on tiktok and @ComedyGraffiti on facebook!

Julie & Alex have a laid-back afternoon hang where they workshop some bits (old & new), talk about recent shows, and we even hear about the only time Alex saw his dad laugh. Craig makes a quick cameo; Julie has an exciting announcement. Follow Comedy Graffiti Fort Wayne on facebook to stay up-to-date on the Fort’s newest mic!

A bonus outtake from Episode 16, featuring Craig Franklin, Stacey Stark, and Terra Lyn. Craig takes a minute to weigh in on his FMK choices for Rosie the Riveter, Mrs Claus, and Aunt Jemima.

Back from fall break with a vengeance, Julie Heckman hops on Zoom with NY comic Mike Lemme to talk about his upcoming show, Healing+, coming to Fort Wayne this October.  A blend of comedy, theater, and improv all in one, it's bound to be a good time; and studio owner Ben Roney hangs out on the call as well. Joke-in-progress topics include boner pills, YouTube kids, and 9/11. Yep! (The audio quality is actually fine, so don't aZoom it sucks haha see what I did there?) Check out MikeLemme.com as well as Studi07 on Fairfield Ave in Fort Wayne for more!

Fort Wayne magician and friend of the comedy scene, Clint Spahr, comes on the podcast to answer your burning questions about magic, and break down to Julie (who knows nothing about comic books/movies) why Suicide Squad is such a great superhero movie for our modern time. The two have a great chat, but do find differing opinions on Will Smith. Who do you think is right??

Hold on to your hats, 'cause this is a fun one! Julie turns 36 and the Fort Wayne comedy scene, invited by her husband Craig, show up to all talk shit about each other in Julie and Craig's garage. Starring: JT, Alex Eakin, Jeremy Arroyo, Brian Pitre, Jay Hunter, Stacey Stark, Jesse McIntire, Isiah Gray, Logan Holcombe, and Libby H; emceed by Craig Franklin; "headlined" by (a very drunk) Julie Heckman herself.

Julie has a late-night chat with funny pals Libby and Courtney about their memorable experiences with violence. Courtney gets gaslit by her sister, Julie receives a nasty bruise at soccer practice, Libby boxes a “friend.” What Libby finds in a purse while working security is the cherry on top of this mini-sode!
