  • Cori Stewart - Not A Fan: A Hosting Story

    Cori Stewart - Not A Fan: A Hosting Story
    Dec 17 2025
    We’re a BIG fan of Cori Stewart! Getting her start in St Louis, the now Denver comic talks with Dan about loving comedy from an early age, her mother nurturing that love, and how important that is. From getting started in high school to hosting at Helium, Cori is always a ray of sunshine in whatever room she’s in.

    Cori and Dan talk about the worst night hosting Cori’s had, how the room is a factor, when the other comics are late, and how much she loves setting up other comics for success (and hates when a host sets people up for failure)

    From punching up old jokes to Cori’s neo-vaudevillian sensibilities to the importance of being intentional, and how reinvention can save you, this is a great episode to step into our winter break!

    Cori Stewart

    Cori Stewart is a nationally touring comic whose silly, smart jokes are inspired by her belief that everything is beautiful, hilarious, and dumb in equal measure.

  • Sydney Kane (New York Comedy Festival) - Bath(Room) Bomb

    Sydney Kane (New York Comedy Festival) - Bath(Room) Bomb
    Nov 26 2025
    This episode is FULL! Sydney and Dan get into the importance of funny and engaging videos, catching the wave of the ever-changing algorithm, what makes a comedian, figuring out “how to land the plane,” using comedy “cheat codes,” and the pitfall of making unnecessary changes.

    Also, authenticity, not being precious, dolls vs. action figures, Dan learns a new word, and Larry wants to know what a “situation ship” is!

    Sydney Kane

    Sydney Kane is an NYC-based actor, singer, comedian, and writer who has performed everywhere from off-off-off-barely Broadway to the big 9x16 iPhone screen. A graduate of Pace University with a BFA in Musical Theater, she’s done improv at UCB and Second City and gained a following on social media for her extremely insightful dating content. With sharp comedic writing and quick-witted lyrics, Kane brings a warm and unassuming stage presence, leveling with her audience in a fearless self-deprecating humor but always with a knowing wink from the stance of striking confidence without flinching. People think she is very wise, especially straight men. (Follow @sydneymorgankane on all social media.)

  • Eliot Rahal (Knock’em Dead, Midnight Vista) - Knock 'Em Dead

    Eliot Rahal (Knock’em Dead, Midnight Vista) - Knock 'Em Dead
    Nov 12 2025
    Dan’s at SiouxperCon and gets to have a great chat with comic book author (Knock’em Dead, Midnight Vista) and former standup Eliot Rahal! From his time starting at the legendary Lincoln Lodge in Chicago to his chance at a pilot to writing comic books, they discuss the need for a point of view, the reasons we do comedy, and the need to get out of your “safe rooms” so you can push yourself.

    The episode also delves into bombing when it counts, the addictive nature of the social aspect of comedy, and the differences between writing for the stage and for the page.

    Eliot Rahal

    Eliot Rahal is a best-selling writer and creator, most known for MADAM SATAN (Archie Comics), BLEED THEM DRY (Vault Comics), PREDATOR: BLACK, WHITE, AND BLOOD (Marvel Comics), and his original titles HOT LUNCH SPECIAL with Jorge Fornes and KNOCK 'EM DEAD. He's also collaborated on several high-profile graphic novels with music and movie stars like Machine Gun Kelly, Last Podcast on the Left, and Emily Hampshire.

    In this episode of the Art of Bombing presents: Between Bombs, Dan and Larry call back episode 317 with Douglas Widick.

    Douglas Widick (North Coast) - It's All About The Relationship
    Oct 22 2025
    Dan gets the chance to talk with sketch and improv artist Douglas Widick. They talk Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the difference between English and Scottish audiences, the relationship between improv and standup, making sure you “have an act” before you riff, the fun of watching a GOOD bomb, and theatre ghosts! Additionally, the fact that sometimes you're playing for an audience of three or a sold-out crowd, earning a laugh versus cheating one, and more!
