We have comedienne Wendy Liebman and standup comic/actor Tom McTigue as our comedy guests this week. They share loads of standup comedy material, and each in their unique way. Both played my club "Laughs Unlimited" back in the day, and both have had wonderful careers thanks to standup comedy. Listen, Laugh, & Share!

Wendy Liebman and Tom McTigue are renowned stand-up comedians known for their distinctive comedic styles and engaging storytelling. Liebman, with her clever wordplay and observational humor, draws from personal experiences to entertain audiences with witty anecdotes about relationships, self-image, and everyday life, reveling in the freedom and creativity that comedy offers. In contrast, McTigue captivates with his engaging storytelling and unique voice inflections, reflecting on life's challenges and embracing the humor in problems that arise, from relationships to historical observations. Together, they offer a captivating comedy experience, each bringing their unique perspectives to the stage, while encouraging audiences to find laughter and insight in life's complexities.
