The Art of Bombing: A Comedy Podcast

Jared Chandler reaches back - way back - for his bombing story - it was his first bomb in performance ever: his fourth-grade talent show. When it was over, he remembers thinking - “I don’t know what just happened, but I think it was bad.” A comic was born.

Jared reminds comics that you can always tell - in the first few minutes of your set - the kind of show you’re going to have. Stand-up comedian Dan Bublitz Jr. interviews Jared about lessons learned. The two talk about how you can use alternative forms of stand-up comedy to keep your material fresh: roast battles, set swaps, “dead rooms”, even comedy where you have to get naked - if that’s your thing.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to prep for a roast battle, how to take criticism, how to amplify your abilities as a comic by changing really small things…

Jared Chandler

Jared is a Denver comedian originally from Greeley Co. He runs a weekly show at Stella’s Pinball Arcade and Lounge in Greeley.

Aneas and Dan Bublitz Jr. talk about how Aneas has gotten better: producing his own show, finding a productive group of people, joining a comedy class to meet people in your scene, and how if you want to get better, you have to put in the work.

Aneas Herrera

Aneas is a Fort Collins comedian. He started a comedy Sketch Group and a show in his garage. Aneas is working to be the best he can be.

Lisa Lane (Netflix, How to Build a Sex Room) sets clear goals in her comedy: She went to 500 Open Mics in 2019. She works diligently on improving her sets by listening to recordings and she says it’s important to find places to work on longer sets. Lisa tells Dan Bublitz Jr. about the wide range of gigs she can do: Casinos, Nursing Homes, Clubs, Bars, and Corporate.

Lisa and Dan cover a lot of ground: coming from an acting background, starting comedy later in life, building talks into your corporate comedy quiver, how to break down your sets and what to look for, and, of course, two great lessons from recent bombing stories.

Lisa Lane

Most recently featured on the Netflix sensation How to Build a Sex Room, Comedy Works Denver Funny Final Four Contest, and a glamorous casino tour of the American southwest, LISA LANE is an overeducated goofball who finds the funny in the balancing act of parenting teenagers, becoming single at age 50, and navigating the chin hairs and wrinkles on her very own face. She has lately been seen at the Denver Improv, Boulder Theatre and Boulder Comedy Festival, Loonees, 3Es, MLB All-Star Game 5K, 7450th Medical Officer Reserve Unit, American Legion Post 1260, Colorado Real Estate Finance Group, Brookdale Meridian Retirement Homes, and a variety of shows for parents and corporations. Lisa is also an announcer, voiceover actor [most recognizable since 2018 as the voice of TransAmerica Insurance] and the author of two books for parents: Teenagers Suck and Beyond Mama Bear.

Second-time guest Zack Lyman reminds us that a comic needs his or her things!

What things do you need when you travel? What things make us comfortable on stage? What things do we need when we’re doing our own show?

Zack spills to Dan Bublitz Jr. about a recent bar show where he drove 4 hours to find a sign outside that said ‘closed’ and a few flyers of a different comedian. You’ve got to hear this hilarious bombing story!
