Matt and Laura talk with Gianmarco Soresi about the upsides and downsides of coming into stand up comedy with an acting background, and Matthew and Gianmarco’s experience of being in a movie with Billy Crystal.

Nose puffs are the most honest form of laughter. Do German comics only bomb? Have all jokes been done before? Are puns ever funny?

Matthew and Laura undergo an immersive in-law experience. Matthew gets better at math and worse at comedy. Laura is a Sucker for a Syllabus II. Matthew’s hate/hate relationship with Zoom shows.

Matthew and Laura make unfounded financial forecasts, discuss comedy tastes during tough times, and how every comic is currently live on Instagram. Matthew could really use some tips on how to survive quarantine with his girlfriend’s parents.

Clearly taped before quarantines… Matthew and Laura discuss the silver lining to bad press, big breaks, producing a show and the simple joy of watching comics fight on Facebook.

In this week's episode Laura and Matthew talk about using social media, asking to get on shows, feeling awkward at a mic, how to be more like Hannibal Buress, and a little bit about Trumps rhetoric at the end (really sorry).

This episode was recorded before episode 2 (please send all hate mail to Matthew) so good luck with the timeline. 

Matthew and Laura discuss writing, comedy classes, balancing work with comedy and if you can be happy AND funny. Laura calls Matthew out and almost violates one of his NDA's. 

Matthew Broussard has done stand up comedy for almost a decade. His girlfriend, Laura Sogar, just started. Together they explore all aspects of stand up, from joke writing to gender dynamics through their disparate levels of experience. They address the awkwardness and talk to comics about how comedy affects relationships and how relationships affect comedy.
