Greg Schwem began his stand-up comedy career in 1989, transitioning from a television news reporter role during a period when the comedy market was heavily saturated with cable TV shows. Despite these initial challenges, Schwem successfully adapted by merging his comedic talents into a public speaking career that brings humor to the corporate world. His journey highlights the importance of adaptability, as he tailored his material to resonate with business audiences while maintaining sensitivity to diverse perspectives. Through personal experiences like cancer and divorce, Schwem has also demonstrated how humor can serve as a powerful tool for resilience, a theme he explores in his book, "Turning Gut Punches into Punchlines."

Through his performances, Rosen playfully depicts Trump as more invested in quirky issues like fixing the McFlurry machine and indulging in fast food celebrations, all while humorously highlighting the president's broader agenda. Rosen's comedic interpretation provides a lighthearted and entertaining perspective on Trump's plans, delighting audiences with his unique blend of wit and political commentary.

Here is something different for my podcast listeners. In the 80's and 90' I produced several TV shows for local affiliates. On the podcast I am sharing the audio from on of these TV shows. Minimal editing and aired on TV in 1991. It features the comedy of Chris Hobbs, a short bit by "Baby Man" Bruce Baum (Los Angeles), and closing the show was Headliner Milt Abel (From Oregon in the 90's).

Chris Hobbs, Bruce Baum, and Milt Abel are distinguished stand-up comedians whose performances in the "Best of Standup Comedy Series" showcase their unique comedic styles and perspectives. Chris Hobbs, known for his witty humor and relatable anecdotes about marriage, often finds humor in everyday awkward situations, creating a personal connection with his audience. Bruce Baum, celebrated for his quirky and absurd humor, appreciates the rich history of comedy clubs and the art of storytelling, as seen in his famous parody hit "Marty Feldman Eyes." Milt Abel brings a light-hearted and self-deprecating style to the stage, delighting audiences with playful banter and affectionate stories about his family, all while maintaining a warm and engaging presence that highlights his genuine care for those around him.

Yakov Smirnoff, Eddie Brill, Steve Bruner, Kermet Apio, Dennis Blair, Rick Allen, Larry Brown, Gregg Schwem, Mack Dryden, and Larry "Bubbles" Brown bring a unique blend of humor and insight to the controversy surrounding "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." While Smirnoff critiques the story's depiction of bullying and societal discrimination, Brill and Bruner highlight the darker themes that often go unnoticed in this beloved holiday classic. Apio, Schwem, and Dryden emphasize the need for more positive messages about acceptance and kindness, reflecting on the broader societal issues of racism and exclusion. Through their combined perspectives, these comedians shed light on the importance of re-evaluating traditional narratives to promote inclusivity and empathy during the holiday season.
