  • Belly Laughs and Bourbon

    So happy I discovered this podcast! Love hearing comedians “talk shop” about how they began in stand up, the highs, the lows and all the hijinks in between. Scott and Ace do a great job of keeping it conversational and fun, plus their guests are a great assortment of seasoned and new local comedy talent which provides diverse perspectives on being a working comic. A fun, weekly listen and I’ve even learned a bit about bourbon thanks to their bourbon dates!
