Dystopia Tonight With John Poveromo

Bobby is a joy to speak to and one of the best character actors in the business! He talks to John about how he was one of handful of New York guys that moved out west to act, How Joey Pantoliano introduced him to his wife, comparing tough guys in the neighborhood with Robert Duvall, his Mount Rushmore of comics and his upcoming projects! Enjoy!

Rob Bartlett. That's the description. What more does anyone need? He's done it all! Performing in an improv group with Eddie Murphy, touring all over the country doing stand-up, starring on Broadway with Daniel Radcliffe, Nathan Lane, Matthew Broderick, and his own one man show, and working on radio doing impressions on Imus, and acting in literally every show on television...I'm winded just writing this. I don't know that I would've gotten the opportunity to meet him had it not been for the pandemic on two virtual charity shows we wound up spending an incredible amount of time on together. There aren't many positive during this pandemic but that's one of them for me. Please enjoy this chat with a great man and good friend. Enjoy!

The great Tommy Chong talks to John about loving house arrest, how he started as a musician working for Berry Gordy, knowing when he was going to marry his wife, being part of a comedy duo and an actor, his Mount Rushmore of smokers and how he’s “not really anything.” Enjoy!

Greg talks about his first band in high school, the Punk scene in Seattle, why he couldn’t live in LA, the Dead Kennedy’s, living with Duff McKagan, his new album release from The Living,  and how he’s not a fart! Enjoy!

Any time spent with a good friend, even when it's virtual, is time well spent. And if that friend is Camilla Cleese you just can't put a price on it. The hour goes by way too fast and the tangents are numerous and the stories about her time spent as a professional horseback rider are funnier than anyone who rode a horse professionally has a right to be. We also got to talk about her Dad's habit of drawing on her Macbook with permanent marker, the origin of Hercules, her dog, growing up around some funny famous people and pandemic life. In short I miss my friend and an hour wasn't long enough. But it'll do for now. Enjoy!!

 

 

Frank and John catch each other up on the joys of being cat owners during quarantine, pandemic deniers, Mystery Science Theatre 3000, Sirius Radio, what a fat piece of shit Chris Christie is, and how a snake oil salesman like Dr Oz got to host Jeopardy. Enjoy!

Dex Carvey talks to John about being an early Twitch pioneer, setting up and producing his Dad’s podcast, how covid caused some weight gain and how Weight Watchers helped him take it off, Standup, corporate gigs and they get into a bunch of fun conspiracy theory talk! Enjoy!

Lead Singer of the Young Dubliners - Keith talks to John about how they got their name, band mates, performing the day before the world shut down, working with some of his favorite bands, Irish politics and his love for comedy. Enjoy!

Eric talks to John about testing material on Instagram, building his fan base, moving to Austin, Texas and how social media is ruining our brains and of course, being Italian. 

Allan talks to John about the “real” Comedy Store, wild nights on the road, his time with Sam Kinison, his lifelong comedy buddy Carl LaBove, writing and producing Arli$$, Roseanne, and doesn’t hold back on some of the comedy greats he loves and hates and everything in between
