PODCAST

Dystopia Tonight With John Poveromo

Hosted by nationally touring comedian John Poveromo, Dystopia Tonight dares to ask the question: Is this too much? Are we hurtling through a dystopian nightmare, trapped in an endless, self-perpetuating whirlpool of clickbaity headlines, viral memes, and doomscroll-fueled chaos? A carnival of absurdity where every click feels like another nail in society’s coffin? Or is this the moment before we wake up, pull the plug, and rewrite the story — hoping someone remembered to hit record? Either way,

I could legitimately talk to Lea Emmery (SCOUT) all day long. One of the easiest conversations I've had to date with one of my favorite singer/songwriters.

Day 176 - Tom Dreesen ”Leaving The Neighborhood”

Dystopia Tonight With John Poveromo ·

2022/06/08

Tom Dreesen is a living legend in comedy and entertainment. Opening for Sinatra and being one of the few individuals to actually get close enough to call him a friend and father figure is extraordinary enough but Tom’s career expands beyond that. Opening for and palling around with Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Frankie Avalon and the Four Seasons, and starting his career as one of the only black and white comedy acts with Tim Reid barely scratches the surface. He’s a comedy store legend defending

2022/05/26

Loved getting to talk with Amy Annelle about her life and career on Dystopia Tonight. Truly a road warrior as her passion for music and performing kept her Van Lifing before Van Lifing was even a thing! She’s traversed the country performing anywhere that would have her, leaving her lyrically limitless and full of stories from places she’s been and people she’s met.

Dystopia Tonight With John Poveromo ·

2022/05/24

Dan Dion was once described by the late George Carlin as a photographer who takes a picture of you from the inside out. Which Dan has said is the greatest compliment he’s ever received. Nothing I say here can rival that so I’ll just add that having my first set of professional photos as a comedian done by Dan left an indelible mark as to how they should be done for the rest of my career. He’s had an incredible career and is a genuine fan of comedians and the art of comedy. He’s a huge part of comedy

Day 168 - Ukranian Comedian Sviat Zagaikevich

Dystopia Tonight With John Poveromo ·

2022/05/17

As comedians we’re constantly talking about or being talked about - the balls it takes for anyone to get on a stage alone for a given amount of time and try to make an audience laugh. But in Ukrainian comedian Sviat Zagaikevich’s case he and his fellow comics have set the bar impossibly high by performing stand-up comedy in a bomb shelter while Russians invade and the ever looming presence of Nuclear war could take them out in an instant. It’s a far cry from being heckled on stage. Or as of recently
