Service From Hell

Puns! We're so clever! You miss us, yet? The tour is over and we are back online to scream in your ears. Thank you for the continued listens without new episodes and STILL telling your friends. We are excited to be back in your ears!

Still on Patreon and still on Instagram! Find us on both!

Oh, hey there! We are in a shifting schedule situation (as a creative artist) and so we have updates on our release calendar. Thank you for continuing to listen/subscribe. It really feels amazing. Also, whilst the schedule for the next month or two is going to be in flux, we will for sure still get episodes out, AND we are still conducting interviews, so we will be back!

Back for part 2 this week is Comic and Commercial Actor Paul Morrissey. A lovely dude whose special, "Ice Cream vs Everything" (available now) is hilarious and worth the watch. You can find all things Paul here! 

Find us on Patreon and Instagram! 

Comic and commercial actor (as well as retired news anchor) Paul Morrissey is with us this week to really dive in. In fact, he dove in so hard, we have another 2-parter on our hands. 

Find us on Patreon and on the socials. 

Voice actor and retired comic Rachel McDowell joins us to make us giggle relentlessly and to soothe us with her wonderful voice. She discusses taking tipping VERY seriously (seriously) and why she values grocery store employees more than any other person we have interviewed. It is inspiring and hilarious. 

Also, since we recorded this, she text me to say she is thinking of dipping her toe back into stand up comedy, so fingers crossed because her stand up is UNREAL! Find her voice here -https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4661808/

Also, I don't think anyone reads these notes, so I'm going to be honest - I'm thinking of retiring this show. I've been doing this alone for almost 4 years and am mulling over the idea of stopping. Email me if you read these notes and/or if you want me to keep going. [email protected] is how you can let us know how you feel. And - be honest. Are you bored? Done? Happy? What do y'all want?

The final exploration in our series with writer, comic, improviser, musician, and all around awesome dude @pepperberry1 

Pepper hails from LA (by way of Texas) and has figured out how to ask for what he wants and work his ass off to get it. His tenacity in his early LA days is unmatched by any other guest. Damn! He's the BEST!

Also, his photo this week is the TKE house at UCLA where he lived with rats and roaches as he tried his hardest to make his way in TV and film.

Back this week is musician, comic, improvisor, writer, and extremely patient man, Pepper Berry. Recorded back in December of 2022, Pepper has NEVER bugged me about airing this.
