A comedy club opening in a restaurant basement doesn’t sound like the start of history, until you remember what stand-up felt like in 1980: new, hot, and so alive that every seat mattered. We’re celebrating the 40th anniversary of Laughs Unlimited by bringing back our first headliner, George Wallace, and letting him tell the story in his own voice. The memories are specific and vivid, from sold-out crowds in Old Sacramento to the early days of comics who would soon become legends.

George breaks down the real work behind a long stand-up comedy career: learning rooms, traveling, building relationships, and staying funny without leaning on easy labels. We talk about the early club circuit, Gary Shandling on the bill, and why treating comics with respect was never “extra” but the whole foundation of a great comedy scene. If you love comedy club history, classic stand-up, and the behind-the-scenes reality of show business, this conversation is packed with it.

Then we bring the receipts: an archival George Wallace stand-up set from 1983, featuring the energy, crowd control, and “It’s A Crazy World” era timing that helped make him the Godfather of Comedy. We also catch up on where he’s performing now, including his Las Vegas run, and why evergreen jokes can still hit decades later.

"Be a Standup Comic...or just look like one"

Four headliners. A stack of vintage radio promos. One tight 30-minute ride through stand-up comedy and the comedy club culture that built it.

We’re mixing it up with what I call a cornucopia of comedy: short sets from Steve Smith, Robert Aguayo, David Crow, and Tom McTigue, broken up with real broadcast audio from the Laughs Unlimited archives. If you’ve ever wondered how a Sacramento comedy club filled seats in the 80s and 90s, the old commercials and promo spots are a time capsule of comedy marketing. You’ll hear how we pitched the room, the policies, the showtimes, and the “come tonight” urgency that radio did so well.

On the stand-up side, Steve Smith brings sharp observations with a clean and sober point of view, built from years of performing specialty shows for AA and NA audiences. We also drop in an early morning radio interview with prop comic Bruce Baum that perfectly captures the reality of promotion: headliners doing wake-up calls to move tickets, even when they’d rather be asleep. Then Robert Aguyo adds musical comedy texture, David Crow takes a wild angle on meddling laws, and Tom McTeague closes with storytelling and punchlines that keep escalating.

If you love stand up comedy podcasts, comedy history, and behind-the-scenes club stories, hit play, then subscribe, share the episode, and leave a review so more fans can find the show. What was your favorite set or throwback clip?

"Be a Standup Comic...or just look like one"

A nickname you never wanted can become the thing that gets you booked, remembered, and introduced for the rest of your career. We sit down with Bay Area stand-up Larry “Bubbles” Brown to trace how a deadpan, low-key approach cut through a high-energy comedy scene and turned into decades of steady work. If you love stand-up comedy history, comedy club stories, and the behind-the-scenes reality of being a road comic, this one is packed with the kind of details you only get from people who were actually there. 

We talk about Larry’s early days at Laughs Unlimited, the specific weeks and lineups he still remembers, and the comics who made the learning curve feel survivable. Larry tells the true story of how Paula Poundstone coined “Bubbles,” why he resisted it, and why it ultimately helped. From there we get into longevity, including Larry’s rare record of returning to the David Letterman show more than two decades after his first appearance, and what it really takes to keep a stand-up career alive year after year. 

Then the conversation opens up into classic road-gig chaos: a week in a condo where the Governor of California is literally next door, the strange pressures of constant travel, and even a bomb threat called into a club with the timing aimed right at stage time. We also revisit the San Francisco comedy boom, with stories that include Dana Carvey’s first open mic shock and Robin Williams’ reputation for supporting other comics. After the chat, we roll into a full Larry Bubbles Brown stand-up set with sharp jokes on sex, depression, marriage, aging, and politics.

"Be a Standup Comic...or just look like one"

A lot of stand-up ages fast. This one doesn’t. We’re dropping you into a full-length Larry Miller set recorded live at Laughs Unlimited in the early 1980s, back when Larry was still “getting his chops” and already sounding like a pro. Before the tape rolls, I share why I’m featuring a single extended set instead of our usual mix: Larry is that rare comic who can take one everyday idea and keep heightening it until it becomes a full story you can’t stop picturing.

Larry’s observational comedy starts with phones and the strange little ways technology messes with our heads, from busy signals that last all day to the spooky moment you pick up and someone is already there. Then he turns domestic life into a chain of sharp, relatable snapshots: bathroom timing, the secret panic moves people make, arguing over something as petty as the color of toilet paper, and even a jab at “healthy” sweeteners that feels weirdly timeless.

From there, the set opens up into bigger stand-up storytelling about family and growing up. You’ll hear holiday humor about sneaking back into your parents’ house, the late-night magic of mom’s fridge compared to a guy’s refrigerator, a blast of childhood nostalgia, and a brutally funny nightmare where your parents come home early while the party is still raging. The closer becomes an extended skiing disaster that ends with a “real secret” that’s both a perfect punchline and the kind of advice you remember.

If you love classic stand-up comedy, comedy club recordings, and the craft of building a story onstage, hit play. Subscribe for more interviews and sets, share this with a friend who needs a laugh, and leave us a review with your favorite Larry Miller moment.

"Be a Standup Comic...or just look like one"

A $5,000 lunch. A 30-year promise. A frozen walk across the Brooklyn Bridge to make the new year feel real. R. Scott Edwards sits down with comedian Mark Schiff for a warm, hilarious time-capsule of stand-up comedy history that starts in New York at The Comic Strip and stretches all the way to arena-sized shows with Jerry Seinfeld. If you love comedy stories that actually explain how this business works, you’re going to get a ton out of Mark’s memories and the hard-earned lessons underneath them.

We talk about the crew Mark called “the funniest men in the universe” and the New Year’s Day breakfast tradition that kept friendships alive through careers, travel, and chaos, including one year that turns into an international adventure. Then the tone shifts to something more personal: Mark shares how he quit drinking during a booked week at Laughs Unlimited in Old Sacramento, and we dig into that strange truth every working comic knows, the stage adrenaline that can carry you through sickness, stress, and doubt when the audience is waiting.

From there it’s pure “life on the road” gold: comedy condo disasters, long-distance phone scandals from the pre-cellphone era, and prank stories from touring. We also get a behind-the-scenes moment from the Seinfeld tour when Jerry gets food poisoning before a packed theater and Mark is told to go out and keep the show alive. Plus, you’ll hear a full Mark Schiff stand-up set with sharp bits on 99 cent stores, Costco, parenting grown kids, and marriage.

"20 Questions Answered about Being a Standup Comic"
"Be a Standup Comic...or just look like one"

Four legendary comedians take the stage to showcase the art of stand-up comedy in this celebration of laughter spanning different styles and generations.

Jimmy Alec opens with his classic observational humor that made him a Johnny Carson favorite. His Chicago upbringing provides fertile ground for relatable comedy about Catholic school nuns, the differences between single and married men at grocery stores, and the unique challenges of buying certain products. Jimmy's perfectly crafted punchlines remind us why he was a television regular during comedy's golden age.

Next comes Tom McTigue, whose Baywatch fame takes a backseat to his brilliant comedic mind. Tom's extended bit about the nuclear-hot temperature of chicken pot pies evolves into an unexpected meditation on international relations, while his description of discovering cat vomit in the middle of the night creates visceral comedy gold. His ability to take mundane observations and transform them through vivid storytelling demonstrates why he was a crowd favorite for over a decade.

Jerry Miller, a Napa Valley native, brings his wine country perspective to a special outdoor recording from "Laughs in the Park." Jerry's takes on pretentious wine tasters and the challenges of parenting twins resonates especially well with the family crowd. His bit about mothers' superhuman ability to handle dirty diapers compared to squeamish fathers highlights the gender differences that still make for reliable comedy material.

The episode culminates with ventriloquist Jay Johnson, famous for his role on the sitcom "Soap." Jay and his puppet "Bob" showcase why ventriloquism remains a beloved art form when executed at the highest level. The chemistry between the strait-laced Jay and his inappropriate wooden partner creates a tension that drives the act forward to consistent laughs.

Tune in to experience these comedy masters at work and appreciate the different approaches they take to the universal goal of making people laugh. Subscribe now to hear more classic comedy from Scott Edwards' archives!

"Be a Standup Comic...or just look like one"

What happens when you bring together three comedy legends with wildly different styles? Pure entertainment gold. This episode delivers a masterclass in comedic diversity featuring Andy Kindler, Bobby Slayton, and a rare behind-the-scenes moment with Gary Shandling.

First up is Andy Kindler, known for his work on "Everybody Loves Raymond" and as a regular on "Late Night with David Letterman." His set from a special concert in Canada showcases his signature brand of industry-insider humor and meta-comedy. With jokes ranging from Nazi documentaries to social media absurdities, Kindler demonstrates why he's considered a comedian's comedian. His self-referential style and willingness to embrace awkwardness create moments of brilliance that highlight his unique voice in the stand-up world.

Bobby Slayton takes the stage next with a performance recorded live at Laughs Unlimited. Nicknamed the "Pitbull of Comedy," Slayton lives up to his reputation with a no-holds-barred examination of relationships and romance. His hilarious deconstruction of supposedly romantic activities—from candlelight dinners to showering together—resonates with audiences through its brutal honesty. Slayton's masterful crowd work and rapid-fire delivery demonstrate why he's been a fixture in comedy clubs and films like "Bandits" and "Dreamgirls."

The episode concludes with something truly special: an unfiltered, behind-the-scenes recording of Gary Shandling preparing for a television interview about his role in the 2006 animated film "Over the Hedge." This rare glimpse into Shandling's natural wit reveals the improvisational genius that made him a pioneer of meta-comedy in shows like "The Larry Sanders Show." His bizarre tangents about teaching dogs acting skills and what might be found in his garbage showcase the free-associative style that influenced a generation of comedians.

Whether you're drawn to Kindler's self-deprecating observations, Slayton's unapologetic relationship truths, or Shandling's meandering absurdity, this episode offers something for every comedy fan. Don't forget to share with friends and rate the show—we'll be back next week with more great comedy!

"Be a Standup Comic...or just look like one"

Step into a time machine with this gem pulled straight from the comedy vault! We're bringing you road comic legend John Fox's electric performance from a 1983 New Year's Eve show at Laughs Unlimited in Sacramento, when comedy had no filters and stand-up was truly unrestrained.

Long before social media and cancel culture, comics like John Fox commanded stages across America with raw, boundary-pushing material that today's audiences might find shocking. Fox, who sadly passed away from cancer several years ago, represents the golden age of road comics - performers who built their reputations club by club, night after night. What makes this recording particularly special is that Fox was actually headlining above Yakov Smirnoff (who later became a household name) and Lois Bromfield, showing just how respected he was in comedy circles.

The episode also features delightful historical artifacts - original radio promotions for Laughs Unlimited and the Magic Hat Bar by Sacramento radio personalities Paul and Phil from Y92, later known as "The Answer Guys" on the Discovery Channel. These vintage spots transport listeners to an era when local radio DJs were cultural influencers and comedy clubs were becoming fixtures across America.

Fox's rapid-fire delivery and fearless approach to taboo subjects showcases why he was considered one of the best road comics of his generation. While his edgier material limited his mainstream television appearances, this recording preserves the magic that made him a favorite among comedy club audiences and fellow comedians alike.

Whether you're a comedy history buff or simply curious about how stand-up has evolved over the decades, this episode offers both entertainment and education. Take a trip back to a wilder time in comedy - you might be surprised by how much has changed, and perhaps by how much remains the same at its core.

Discover a rare comedic gem from the vault! Before Kevin Pollak became the acclaimed actor we know from "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" and countless Hollywood films, he was honing his craft as a brilliant stand-up comedian and impressionist at Laughs Unlimited comedy club.

This nostalgic episode features Pollak at the height of his stand-up powers, showcasing the incredible impression skills that would later help launch his acting career. His routine begins with sharp observations about Arnold Schwarzenegger's movie success, questioning why the Academy consistently overlooks him with the hilarious punchline, "Do these people need a verb?" But the true highlight comes when Kevin launches into an elaborate Star Trek parody that demonstrates his remarkable versatility as a performer.

Pollak's impression of William Shatner as Captain Kirk is nothing short of masterful, perfectly capturing the actor's distinctive dramatic pauses and theatrical delivery. The routine evolves into a tour de force as Kevin portrays multiple celebrity personalities aboard the Enterprise, each with their own distinct voice and mannerisms. His ability to seamlessly transition between these characters reveals the impressive range that would eventually make him such a sought-after character actor in film and television.

For fans of comedy history, this episode offers a fascinating glimpse at the early career of an artist who would go on to achieve tremendous success in Hollywood.

"Be a Standup Comic...or just look like one"

Unwrap a present filled with laughter as our special holiday podcast brings together some of comedy's most brilliant minds sharing their hilarious, heartwarming, and occasionally cringe-worthy Christmas experiences.

Greg Schwem kicks things off with the evolution of his family's improvised Christmas carol tradition, where party guests receive personalized verses set to "Up on the Housetop" – a tradition born from alcohol and creativity that became an eagerly anticipated annual event. Meanwhile, Kermit Apio transports us to Hawaii, where Santa mysteriously arrives via yellow cab with a garbage bag full of presents in broad daylight, challenging everything we thought we knew about Christmas logistics while demonstrating children's remarkable ability to overlook inconsistencies when gifts are involved.

The emotional highlight comes from Yakov Smirnoff, who recounts his family's first Christmas in America after escaping the Soviet Union. Having grown up with "New Year's trees" and "Father Frost" in a country where religious holidays were banned, Yakov was overwhelmed when neighbors in his Bronx apartment building showed up at his door with furniture, food, clothing, and appliances he didn't even recognize. "In this most wonderful nation on earth, there's a little bit of real Santa Claus in every American," he reflects.

Gift-giving disasters abound as Tim Bedore shares his catastrophic decision to give his girlfriend an urn (which he didn't recognize as such) in front of her entire family, while Steve Bruner warns against giving appliances as Christmas presents. Larry Brown offers a different perspective on holiday disappointment, recounting how bombing his Tonight Show audition just before Christmas 1984 led to "probably the worst Christmas of my life."

Whether you're celebrating with family, working through the holidays, or just needing a laugh to counter seasonal stress, these comedians' perspectives remind us that behind perfect holiday imagery, real celebrations are often messy, unexpected, and make the best stories for years to come. Pour some eggnog, find a comfortable spot, and let these comedy professionals unwrap the holiday season in ways that will have you laughing into the new year.

Death has never been funnier as legendary road comic Bob Worley transforms roadkill encounters into comedy gold in this special Audience of One bonus show. 

Bob kicks things off with a perfectly executed misdirection, asking host Scott Edwards about those heart-stopping moments when animals dart in front of your car – only to reveal he's never experienced this himself and is shocked that Scott apparently has a history of vehicular animal slaughter. The comedy builds as Bob shares increasingly absurd scenarios, including a friend who hit a deer and proudly displayed its duct-taped antlers as a trophy.

The hilarity reaches new heights when Bob contemplates the physics of hitting a cow – "How does a cow dart out in front of your car? Don't they just mosey along?" His vivid descriptions of udder-hindered bovine movement will have you laughing despite yourself. The comedic climax arrives with Bob's confession about hitting a pigeon named "Billy" who tragically miscalculated his escape timing, followed by the other pigeons' pragmatic response to their friend's demise – "Oh, Billy didn't make it" – before proceeding to eat him in what Bob philosophically calls "the circle of life."

This episode showcases exactly why Bob Worley has been a comedy staple for over four decades. His ability to find humor in life's uncomfortable moments and deliver it with impeccable timing reminds us why dark comedy, when done right, creates some of the most memorable laughs.

Ready for some weekend laughs? Scott Edwards delivers comedy gold with headliner Ronnie Kenny, a comedian whose impressive resume includes serving as house emcee at major clubs nationwide and numerous television appearances.

Kenny wastes no time connecting with audiences through his hilarious take on exercise avoidance. "Today I did a sit-up. Have you tried one of those lately? I got real lightheaded. I stopped that immediately, boy. I got up, grabbed a beer and a cigarette and laid back down again." His self-deprecating humor strikes a chord with anyone who's ever made half-hearted attempts at fitness.

The comedian then launches into a brilliant comparison of whiskey drinkers versus beer drinkers when confronted by police, showcasing whiskey drinkers' quick-witted excuses ("This is a stealth car. I bought it from the Air Force") against beer drinkers' hilariously incriminating honesty ("Of course I was speeding. I'm out of beer"). Kenny's observational skills shine brightest when tackling laws against drunk bicycle riding, where he imagines ridiculous PSA campaigns: "Friends don't let friends pedal drunk." His expert timing and delivery transform everyday absurdities into comedy gold.

Scott Edwards wraps up this bite-sized comedy treat by praising Kenny as "always great with audiences, always very funny."

Larry Wilson, a seasoned comedy magician with over thirty years of experience, has captivated audiences with his dynamic performances on television and at renowned venues like the Magic Castle. Specializing in close-up magic, Wilson expertly blends humor and illusion in acts such as his "cocktails and conjuring" routine, emphasizing the importance of meticulous rehearsal and live audience feedback in refining his craft. He values the opportunity to experiment with new material in intimate magic clubs, viewing these settings as creative laboratories where he can discover the comedic timing crucial to his routines.

"Be a Standup Comic...or just look like one"

What does it mean to be "not famous, just successful" in the stand-up comedy world? Veteran comedian Steve Bruner returns to share wisdom from over four decades of making strangers laugh.

The magic of comedy isn't just in the spotlight moments—it's in the careful craft behind the scenes. Steve reveals his meticulous writing process, collecting fragments of ideas on scraps of paper before weaving them into cohesive bits that connect with audiences worldwide. Despite his seasoned status, he still attends open mics to test new material, comparing it to "a baseball player needing to swing the bat to remember how to swing."

Comedy has transformed dramatically since Steve's early days earning $12.20 at the Holy City Zoo. While today's emerging comics can build careers through TikTok and social media—routes unavailable to previous generations—Steve emphasizes that nothing replaces the electric connection between a live comedian and their audience. This becomes especially evident when he discusses the unique challenges of performing on cruise ships, where passengers might have just visited the Vatican the day before his show.

Throughout our conversation, Steve's perspective remains refreshingly grounded. He finds joy in the process itself—seeing connections others miss and sharing that perspective through laughter. For aspiring comics, his journey offers valuable lessons about persistence, adaptability, and finding fulfillment beyond fame.

The episode concludes with a hilarious sample of Steve's clean, observational comedy about wedding traditions that showcases his masterful timing and relatable humor. Whether you're a comedy fan or creator, you'll find both entertainment and insight in this conversation with a true professional who's built a lasting career by making the world funnier, one audience at a time.

Marc Yaffee, a seasoned comedian known for his clean and engaging humor, has transitioned from open mic nights to headlining stand-up comedy shows on cruise ships, such as his current seven-week contract with Holland America. He views performing on cruise ships as a unique opportunity to interact with audiences over an extended period, allowing him to build a dedicated fan base among passengers. Unlike traditional comedy clubs, cruise ship audiences tend to be older and less prone to heckling, enabling Yaffee to focus on delivering his rapid-paced humor without interruptions. While he occasionally adjusts his material to suit the international and diverse demographic aboard, Yaffee's commitment to consistent, family-friendly comedy remains steadfast, as demonstrated by his involvement in the Clean Comedy Kings tour with fellow comedian Jimmy Delavalle.

It really isn't comedy based; but a good story about a good man, and it is topped off by a short set from my Dad's favorite comic....Pat Paulsen.

At a recent fundraiser, I produced a show for a sold out 400 seat room in Placerville CA. The headliner was Dennis Blair; a standup comic/musician who has toured with Rodney Dangerfield, Joan Rivers, Barry Manilow, and for over 18 years with George Carlin.
A very funny standup comic who you will hear here, is funny and a talented musician.
Listen, Enjoy, & Share!

Dennis Blair, a seasoned comedian with over four decades in the entertainment industry, has made a significant mark with his stand-up performances and writing talents. Known for co-writing the Rodney Dangerfield movie "Easy Money" and spending 18 years opening for George Carlin, Blair has proven his comedic prowess time and again. His recent stand-up comedy special in Placerville garnered high praise from host R. Scott Edwards, who emphasized Blair's impressive career and ability to connect with audiences. The sold-out show, which featured material on diverse topics such as song lyrics, reggae music, and Elvis Presley, left a lasting impression, reaffirming Blair's status as a seasoned and engaging performer.

Susan Morrison, the author of "Lorne: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live," has released her book in perfect alignment with the 50th anniversary of the iconic television show. With her unique perspective, cultivated through years of connections with SNL writers and extensive interviews with Lorne Michaels, Morrison delves into the profound impact SNL has had on American culture. She argues that the show has fundamentally rewired American thought processes, embedding its catchphrases and humor deeply into the nation's collective consciousness. Drawing parallels between the show's enduring formula and the comforting reliability of a Snickers bar, Morrison's work underscores SNL's cultural significance and its role in shaping comedic generations.
