Punch Up - Making Good Jokes Hit Harder

Mark Addison is a dynamic stand-up comedian, actor, and engaging host known for his sharp wit and magnetic stage presence. He has performed all over NYC, such as Gotham Comedy Club, Broadway Comedy Club, and Comedy Cellar, as well as festivals such as the NYC Queer Comedy Club. He is known for his clever writing and timing, and he is definitely bringing the Daddy back in Dad jokes!!

This last week I got to sit down with Glen Tickle, as seen on Dry Bar Comedy and Travel Channel. He’s been heard on SiriusXM. He is very good at Dr. Mario but bad at the violin.

We had a really wonderful punch-up session for a longform joke--check it out! https://www.glentickle.com/

I got to sit down with Vidalia Unwin this week from Louisville KY to talk about transitioning from theater to comedy and finding your "pink opaque"

Vidalia Unwin is a playwright, sketch comedy performer, and sometimes semi-professional silly person. You can follow her on Instagram @not_onions_no

I got to sit down with Calvin Reid this week! We discussed performing for queer audiences, the art of crossing boundaries, dark humor, and got to punch up a really fun joke!

Calvin is a Denver born and raised comedian and award winning performer who has performed in shows/festivals across the state and country. You can see him in the outside world drinking overpriced iced coffees and watching drag race. He’s usually featured on YouTube in videos he’s truly embarrassed by and that he hopes you never find. He has also been recently seen at the CO Queer Comedy Festival (headliner), Winter Park Festival, the Jersey City Comedy Festival, Boulder Comedy Festival, and the Rise Comedy Festival.

This week I got to sit down with one of my favorite festival buddies, Jonah Nigh!

Comedian Jonah has appeared in a variety of roles for NBC (“Baking It,” produced by Amy Poehler and hosted by Maya Rudolph and Andy Samberg), Peacock, CBS, Don't Tell Comedy, WNYC, NYC Pride March, France TV, TripAdvisor, the Museum of the City of New York, among countless festivals across the country!

A five-time marathoner and Boston-qualifier, he’s usually running or baking when he’s not saying yes to too many projects.

I had the joy of getting to speak with Jeremy Crittenden, who is no stranger to stage or screen, and we covered a lot of ground about comedy, puppetry, and gay (Canadian) divorce.

Jeremy has been seen on Broadway, Star Trek, The Expanse, the L Word, and now on this podcast! Check him out here: https://linktr.ee/Jcritty

I got to sit down with Cody Webb to talk shop for the second season!

Cody Webb is a standup comedian and influencer from Portland, Oregon. He’s known for infectious charisma, a deep wit, and a very, very, VERY loud voice (sorry!). He’s gotten over 250,000 followers by talking about his unique experiences with autism, sexuality, gender, and how weird the world is. There are many words you could use to describe Cody, but there’s one word that would never come up: boring. You can follow him on all platforms @TheRealCodyWebb or in real life if you know where to look.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Denver icon Sammy Anzer last week, and we could've talked for hours.
