Um, Like, Stop Saying 'Um' and 'Like' So Much

Standup comedians battle to offer the best advice to their listeners’ problems. 
Broadcasting live from sunny Riff City, USA, The Grawlix (Ben Roy, Andrew Orvedahl, and Adam Cayton-Holland) are here to help, but mostly they’re here to win. Get ad-free episodes and bonus content at patreon.com/grawlixsaves.
• The Grawlix: Adam, Ben and Andrew have been performing standup and sketch comedy as a trio for 20 years. Their self-titled monthly live standup comedy show, The Grawlix, is one of the longest running and most respected indie showcases in the United States. They created, wrote, and starred in TruTV’s scripted comedy series Those Who Can’t for three seasons. Collectively they were named one of Variety’s Top 10 Comics to Watch. For the last five years, the boys hosted The Grawlix Saves the World, a comedy podcast about self improvement that received accolades from the Denver Post, Huffington Post, Lifehacker and more. They are lifelong friends, self-proclaimed experts in everything and “practically doctors,” a claim that will almost certainly get them sued one day.
• Ben Roy has released five standup albums and his standup special, HYENA (streaming on Hulu), was named one of NPR’s top comedy specials of 2023. He is national touring headliner who has performed at countless comedy festivals, including Montreal’s Just for Laughs and South by Southwest, and his standup and acting has been featured on HBO’s Funny as Hell series, numerous Comedy Central shows, and TruTV’s Talk Show The Game Show. 
• Adam Cayton-Holland has released six comedy albums and a 30-minute special on Comedy Central. His latest special, Wallpaper, is currently streaming on Hulu. He has made multiple appearances on CONAN, The Late Late Show with James Corden, and numerous comedy festivals. He also recently adapted his award-winning memoir, Tragedy Plus Time, into the feature film See You When I See You, which is currently in post-production.
• Andrew Orvedahl has released three albums and his special, Doom Math, is currently available on Amazon Prime and Apple TV. He has appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and several comedy festivals, including Montreal’s Just for Laughs, Bridgetown, SXSW, and the Great American Comedy Festival.
