The ubiquitous Sklar Brothers make their headlining debut at The Comedy Castle this weekend. They join Joel to tell of their days at the University of Michigan and their continued connection to the school, why there’s few two-person comedy acts anymore, and their unique way of writing jokes and keeping the good ones. Also, behind-the-scenes of their Super Bowl commercial with The Bernsteins and Joel’s odd connection to that spot. Tickets are going quickly for these shows, get them now!
It’s been decades since Nathan Macintosh has performed at The Comedy Castle, and with the success of last year’s comedy special and his streaming series, there’s a lot to cover. Nathan tells of his Canadian origins, his humiliation in NYC before becoming a Comedy Cellar regular, and why he’ll never bee the spokesperson for Subway. Joel mentions how Nextel phones ruined a comedy gig twenty years ago, and offers Nathan the hack “Big Beaver Joke”, which we are proud to say that he’s not telling. Nathan is a riot! Catch him for one of the five big shows this weekend.
He appeared last year on show #137, but this time Jay Jurden is talking trash on Usher’s Super Bowl halftime show, Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay, and The Illuminati on this hilarious episode. Jay also talks Robert Kennedy Jr’s Presidential chances, if he’s still writing for Jon Stewart, the permanent nature of his own marriage (insurance!) and much more. Jay is fun to listen to, on this show and on stage, go out of your way to catch him this weekend!
