Hello there friends of the internet and thank you for tuning into another episode of the Rodger That Podcast. Yes I know it has been a min but I had a lot of things to do like get drunk and hang out with loose women. LOL. OK now that that is out of the way we have a very special guest on this episode my good friend Brad Upton. I moved to Seattle WA in 2003 and started comedy that same year. One of the first shows that I watched on the weekend at my home club the Comedy underground was an anniversary of the club show. At that time I believe that they had been in business 23 years don't quote me on that. The formats of those show were an MC and Seattle headliners every show. Brad was on the late show Fri following another good friend of mine Rodney Sherwood. I had seen Rodney and I was like "why is this old guy going up after Rodney? He can't follow Rodney!" Brad goes up after Rodney had killed the room and like a pro proceeds to destroy that room for the next hour. Even with me only being in comedy for a couple months I was blown away. Not only by the fact the material was great and well put together but that having to follow a guy that was really high energy (Rodney) that someone could go up with a completely different style and completely take control of that room. Settle it down from a 11. Bring it down to a 7 and and have the crown ride with them at all the way to the end of that hour at a 12. I learned a lot that night. Its not any one style that wins the crowd but how you present yourself to an audience. Since then Brad has been telling jokes all over the world. He recently went what them damn kids call "Viral" with his Dry Bar Comedy special. As of right now he has over 57 gazillion views (That's A lot) the single most watched stand up video in history. Not bad for a poor old boy from Pasco WA who was school teacher and a track coach after collage. So please enjoy this episode and if you would like to find out more about Brad click on these links below.
