He earned his stripes. Most recently, he got stuck in a blizzard between Winona and ...

After a short hiatus, we're back with an all-new episode with guest Jennifer Sutherland, a Denver-area comic who does both sketch and stand-up comedy. She tells Dan Bublitz Jr that when things go wrong on stage you have to take ownership - in other words, in order for a comic to improve, he or she can’t simply blame the audience. And so much more!

It's Wednesday which means there's a brand new episode out for your listening pleasure. This week we're joined by Chase Tressler.

For Chase Tressler, the holy trinity of comedy is good jokes, good drinks, and good times. Chase is a former martial artist, and a security guard, and now aspires to one day work at Petco - specifically on fish.

Chase jams with Dan Bublitz Jr on the art of bombing and stand-up comedy: why it’s important to record your sets, what to listen for when you do, setting goals and milestones, and the purpose of building your act at open mics and showcases.

Hi, friends and supporters of the show. We are doing research about our scheduling, and it would be great if we could get your feedback. We are thinking of scaling back episodes to once a week, which would mean the regular episodes and bonus episodes would come out every two weeks.

For example:
Week 1: Regular Ep
Week 2: Callbacks
Week 3: Regular Ep
Week 4: Callbacks

That said please cast your votes below:

1) Keep as is (twice a week)
2) Change to one episode per week
