Jermaine Glass joins the show. First off: Viewer Discretion Advised. This is a wild episode, and Jermaine has no filter. If you’re sensitive to adult content, maybe skip this one. I love Jermaine. He’s one of the funniest guys I’ve met, and he is full of opinions. Based in Columbia, and formerly in the Army, Jermaine has been doing standup for the last few years where he brings a shocking brand of observational comedy that you can’t help but crack up at. On this episode we talk about conspiracy

2023/01/09

Marquis Walker joins the show today. Marquis is a hilarious new comic I met in 2022. He’s smart and wise beyond his 24 years. Always smooth on stage, Marquis has a fresh observational style that’s often against the grain, but somehow still hilarious – even when he’s talking about a shooting at a Wal-Mart. He’s creative beyond comedy as he’s been drawing sketches since he was a kid of his cultural influences, Tupac and Michael Jordan to name a few. Marquis is hilarious…definitely a comic you should

2023/01/02

Today we say goodbye to Rory O’Connor. He’s not dead, he’s just moving back to New Jersey, and doesn’t have plans to come back to Greenville any time soon. So I guess he’s dead to us. Rory is a 22 year old engineering student who spent 2 years in Greenville for an internship where he started doing comedy. Rory is very smart and very funny. He’s a self proclaimed music nerd fascinated by history, world language, and classic literature. Rory is also passionate about self care in the form of global

2022/12/12

Calvin Murray is a character. Originally from Greenville, Calvin got back on the stand up stage in 2022 after originally starting comedy 4 years ago at mics with Donte Anderson. On stage, Calvin does Looney Toons voices, and his jokes are outrageous. (They’re not family friendly either, so if you prefer clean comedy, I recommend skipping this week’s episode). Today we talk about Calvin’s bombing stories when he first got back on stage at Radio Room, what inspired him to try comedy when he was in

He’s a single dad raising two children, and has a background in public speaking for Alcoholics Anonymous/Narcotics Anonymous. His style of comedy is observational satire, and he packs as many laughs as he can into everyday scenarios.

One of my favorite comics stopped by this week: Larry Griffin. Larry is a novelist and comedian based in Asheville. In his free time he can be found at the movies or the pool when the weather's right. Larry grew up in Florida and spent his youth voraciously consuming horror fiction and other various niches – alt comedy, heavy metal, indie rock, folk and country, you name it. Now he’s channeling it into his fiction and comedy. Larry has several works/short stories available on his website (link

Justin Blackburn is a poet, life coach, and comedian. I’m not sure in what order. Justin is great – just met him in Asheville, and he’s hilarious and insightful. His poetry book, “It’s hard to get there when you’re already there” is also funny, and my new favorite coffee table book. In this interview, Justin tells us how he founded Greenville Comedy, explains his anti-comedy approach to standup, talks his philosophy on life coaching, and a bunch of other stuff.

New to Greenville from Washington state, Melly has quickly become a local favorite. Her voices, impressions, and stories are hilarious. She’s a standup and sketch comedian dedicated to sharing her most embarrassing moments with strangers. Her Wisconsin/Minnesota accents are my favorite, but she has several more. She even does sketches on her Instagram including her Bachelor parody series, “The Bad-Chadelor,” you need to check out. We had a blast on this interview. Be sure to follow Melly at the

Jordy Warlock joins us on today’s podcast. He’s just a normal, anonymous guy. Definitely not a student athlete who may or may not be applying for professional employment in the next 12 months. No need to Google him. Jordan is a good new friend of mine. He’s been doing standup 6 months, and is hilarious, likable, and a great hang. Today we talk about his start in comedy, transitioning from bar back at the Comedy Zone to a performer himself, his experience playing D2 college basketball, our favorite
