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, welcome to Dystopia Tonight.

Allan Havey has had a truly remarkable career. From starting out as a stand-up in 1981 to his breakout appearance on Letterman in ‘86 and soon after helming his own talk show on what was an early version of Comedy Central to an enviable acting career on hits such as Mad Men and the current sensation HBO’s Billions. We talk about never quitting Stand-up even during TV and movie gigs, landing acting roles, giving advice to Jon Stewart, looking to cuddle the president of New Zealand, and calling me out for mixing up Bob and Jeff Altman. Hint: one of them has passed on. Loved spending time with Allan and picking his brain on life and comedy for an hour. Enjoy!
