This week we got to sit down with the hilarious LA based comedian/rapper Zach Sherwin.  Previously known as MC Mr. Napkins, Zach's life before comedy included being raised by a single mother who is a Rabbi and a strong interest to express himself musically. He even performed one of his early raps for us which was amazing.  Please follow him on Twitter @zachsherwin and catch one of his live performance dates http://zachsherwin.com.  Enjoy!

This week we got to interview the very funny LA based comedian K-Von.  We had a great time discovering everything that led to him starting stand up as he described the tales of growing up with a dad from the Middle-East and a mom from Middle-America.  An amazing live act, his disconnection with his father's culture has given him a unique perspective on stage.  K-Von was nice enough to offer two tickets to one of his shows to any one who mentions they heard this episode.  Follow him on twitter @KvonComedy or go to his website www.k-voncomedy.com.  Enjoy!

The wonderful Los Angeles based comedian Ester Steinberg sat with us this week to talk all things before comedy.  Growing up in a large Jewish family Ester has a colorful childhood with a Israeli mother and lawyer/comedian father who "brainwashed" her to pursue a career in entertainment.  Please follow her on Twitter @esterkay and catch her live performance dates.  Enjoy!

This week we were very happy to sit down with the very funny LA based comedian Dan Cummins.  His stories of growing up in relative isolation were great, including a super sad virginity tale, thoughts on Mormonism and a great path to starting stand up.  He will soon be the first exclusive Pandora comedian.  Be sure to check out his live performance dates on www.dancummins.tv and follow him at @D_cummins.

LA comedian Shane Mauss sat down with us for a great Prequel where he discussed all things pre-comedy.  He was a bit of a wild child with run-ins with the law that was driven by alcohol - eventually starting in Boston.  We are glad he survived it all to become one of our favorite comedians.  Shane has a new special coming out in 2014 so lookout for that release on www.shanemauss.com and follow him on twitter @shanecomedy.  Enjoy this episode!
