Cameron Esposito (Moonshot, Mother's Day, A Million Little Things) comes by Bill's hotel room in Vancouver (in town shooting "Alaska Daily" with Hillary Swank premiering TONIGHT on ABC) to talk about discovering her sexuality in the strict crucible of Catholic high school and later Boston College. Cameron is a brilliant, authentic comic with a brilliant mind who calls Bill to task on his somewhat antiquated comedy, and enlightens Bill about how difficult it was to come out as a lesbian even in the mid-2000's. This is a fun and free-wheeling conversation that covers several subjects with something for everyone. ENJOY!

Ashwin has a wild story -- born to Indian immigrants in a rough outskirt of Boston, Ashwin found his way to Hollywood in the most unlikely of ways: by bringing hot women to the Playboy mansion parties when he was still a teenager with a fake passport from Ghana. 4 years into standup, Ashwin is creating and producing and hustling in a way that should be an inspiration/ wakeup call to anyone trying to break into this business that is show.

Matt Rife REDUX - The Afterlaugh - Ep. 256 1:00:17

2 years тому1:00:17

1:00:17

NOTE FROM BILL: Matt Rife isn't the "next big thing." Matt Rife is the CURRENT big thing. Few comedians in history have hit the zeitgeist the way that Matt has in 2023. A little over a year ago, Matt had a video go viral on Tiktok, and the rest, as they, is history. But Matt is far from being a Tiktok comedian and far from being an overnight sensation. Matt has been a focused student of the craft since he was 16, sneaking onto comedy stages in Ohio, and then later New York, where I first met him as a teenager and put him on shows of mine at the now-defunct Times Square Laugh Factory. Years later, I was lucky enough to have Matt feature for me, and whenever I had to drop out of a headlining gig, I would say "Hey, hire this kid Matt." Many of us knew early on that Matt was an incredibly rare combination of perseverance, drive, looks, and talent, and it was only a matter of time before he hit big. However, I think only Matt himself was able to imagine the rarefied air in which he now finds himself -- already flirting with the cultural iconography of Eddie, Pryor, Chappelle, Dane, Dice, and hey, maybe ELVIS? Love him or hate him, Matt isn't going anywhere, and is only poised to be bigger and bigger, until he hits the ultimate entertainment zenith - that is, being an Avenger or a judge on "The Masked Singer." So check out this interview from an earlier, simpler time, when Matt was still my feature, but knew he was destined for much, much bigger things.... Godspeed, Rife! And enjoy the ride, old friend...…

Ariel Kashanchi is a comedian, producer, and writer. She stops by the yard after Bill smokes a giant "Jeter" joint (OOOPS!) and they go down an interesting but dark path of childhood trauma, abuse, and repressed memory that may be shocking for some listeners. Ariel is very frank about the trials of her upbringing escaping from Iran on horseback as a baby to moving in with her assassin uncle in Kansas City until finding landing in Los Angeles. Despite her tribulations, Ariel has managed to turn her pain into authentic comedy and has found a way to give some inexplicably dark times meaning and purpose with her words and story. If you have ever been a victim of physical and/or sexual abuse, particularly familial abuse, this episode may be triggering, but also very powerful and edifying. I PROMISE there is also some yuk-yuks! ENJOY!…

2 years тому1:46:54

1:46:54

After a long hiatus, Tommy comes by the yard to talk about life, love, and pursuit of black women. First of all, is having a "racial preference" count as racism, and also, is Bill only maintaining his spot on "QUAKE'S HOUSE" by positioning himself as a caucasian brother who has a sweet tooth when it comes to love. From there, the podcast segues to the evil magic of testicles, and what exactly IS the role of masculinity in 2023. This one is FUN! No debate. No politics. Just two lost crackas trying to navigate life out in these streets. ENJOY! AND RATE, SUBSCRIBE AND SHARE PLEASE! .…

1:53:22

Gary Faust (of Faust Media) takes Bill out of his cozy AUSTIN trailer in the driveway and convinces Bill to interview him for the Afterlaugh, since they are two friends who don't really know much about each other. The result is a wild, three hour conversation that is at once brilliant and prophetic and dull and pathetic. We spill a lot of tee as Bill secretly reveals his anger and jealousy of NOT being included at all in the burgeoning Joe Rogan scene coming out of Austin. And Gary tries to convince Bill that COMICS are the NEW ROCK STARS! (Uh, they're not). Plus, is Bill more of an actor or more of a comic, and which is worse to be... ENJOY!…

3 years тому57:28

57:28

RE-RELEASE. Before comic and friend and Laugh Factory stalwart David A. Arnold became a juggernaut comedy sensation with his brilliant Netflix special "IT AIN'T FOR THE WEEK," and his viral videos, David was a journeyman comic and creator who wrote, produced, created, and acted in dozens of films and television shows, including his first big break as a producer and writer on 'Fuller House." David was a real inspiration to Bill and many comics who have been in the game for a long time, since David didn't really "break" until he was in his 50's with his charming and creative spin on domestic life with his beautiful wife and children. In this interview, David comes by the yard right at the beginning of his social media mastery that would soon become the tool to make him famous and a legend in the comedy community. Check out his videos, his special on Netflix, and listen to his inspiring story. More importantly, tell the people in your life that you love them, and hug your friends and family, because life is unexpected and you never know when it's time. Rip, David, you will be missed, but you will always be remembered.…

Jimmy Shin (Amazon special "Wok of Shame") comes by the yard to talk about the reasons behind the obsessive drive that has made him one of the most prolific bookers and comedy show producers in Hollywood. Reasons that start with the pressure from being the only son of Korean immigrant parents desperate to give Jimmy a chance for success in America, which simultaneously propelled him into law school and simultaneously a life of crime and drug and alcohol addiction that turned his world upside down and set him on the unlikely path of standup comedian. Jimmy is an interesting guy and his story is a testament to the universe giving people second, third, and fourth chances when they follow their dream. Find him on @iamjimmyshin. ENJOY!…

Mario tells a particularly harrowing story about an experience overseas that may change your perception on the nature and victims of assault and rape. Through it all, Mario has maintained a love for learning and creating and has come out the other side with a lot to teach everyone about. A MUST LISTEN! ENJOY!…
