Laurel's Little Show

Philadelphia born comedian Chanel talks to Laurel about opening for Michael Che and helping lovelorn OKCupid users. Chanel shares her unique perspective not just on being a rising voice in modern comedy, but on being a cop's daughter. Check back soon for Part 2, in which she concludes the story of a mentally ill child whom a police officer shot for having scissors. 

In the not-so-dramatic conclusion of Laurel's interview with Jay Jurden, he breaks down how he went from open micer (where they met, at a particularly sad Saturday afternoon one, she might add) to working comic, touring the country, recording an album,  and debuting on the iconic Tonight Show.

Part 1 of Laurel's interview with Dream/Killer director, Gangster Capitalism podcaster, and the most serious man she knows, Andrew Jenks. Can they make it fun, or will they end up talking about guns and winning all the awards? Find out!

Delightfully deadpan comic Carmen Lynch and Laurel talk trolls, crafting one's on-stage persona, and answer the age old question: do you need to have been bullied as a child to do comedy, or can well-adjusted people do it too (whoever they are)? Check out at the Comedy Cellar or on her very funny albums "Dance Like You Don't Need The Money," and "Vertically Obsese," which just dropped on Spotify!

When she's not playing Beth on "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" or starring in Netflix's The Comedy Lineup," Emma Willmann makes delightful sound effects and conversation. Here's Part 1 of our interview, where we discuss her late night debut on Colbert and John Mulaney's killer suits. 

In Part 1 of Laurel's interview with Jay Jurden, they talk about his Tonight Show debut, the art of crafting a "tight five" for late night TV work, and why he starts every day with a nude.  

What's the deal with Sarah Cooper? The author, satirist, and comic is having a moment, just as ⁦Jerry Seinfeld and ⁦the New York Times. Here she and Laurel discuss her infamous take on Donald Trump vs. Alec Baldwin's, and even get a little political (but only in terms of comedy). 

Rising MTV darling Maddy Smith tells Laurel about her early days on the gritty underground roast circuit, her high-energy stand-up style, and how exactly an episode Wild 'N Out gets made. Have a listen, then YouTube the Comedy Central Roast of Alec Baldwin for which she penned jokes, and her hilariously savage Ariana Grande impression. EDITOR'S NOTE: This episode was recorded in June 2020 prior to Nick Cannon’s firing and contains strong language.

Laurel interviews with one of her favorite comics Mark Normand, and talk queefs, street beer, and his new special "Out to Lunch," out now! 

LC NOTE: THIS EPISODE, AND ALL OF SEASON 1 WAS RECORDED IN SRING 2020
