Date Night!

The Dana Gould Hour

We have an excellent show for you. Rob Cohen is with us. Rob has been a creative partner of mine since way, way, way, back in the Ben Stiller Show days. In addition to being in incredibly talented writer and director in his own right, Rob and I collaborated on the late lamented Super Adventure Team way back in the dark ages, Rob directed Stan Against Evil and is currently the director of YouTube's hairy sensation, Hanging With Dr. Z. He also has a new podcast out that is incredibly funny called The Bad Dates Show, which is just people recounting their worst dating experience. But, as you will hear in the interview, these stories aren’t just, “We didn’t click.” Some of this stuff is INSANE.

Additionally, Adam Carsten is here. Adam has a documentary out that you have to see called Live At Mr. Kelly’s. If you are in any way interested in stand up comedy, or jazz, or the nightclub culture of midcentury America, this doc is a must see, covering the stories of Mr. Kelly’s, the London House and all the legendary nightclubs that made Chicago the cultural nexus it was in the 50’ and 60’s. Stand up comedy, jazz, Playboy magazine, all that stuff flourished in that era and Live At Mr. Kelly's tells the story in a way that is a an incredible and entertaining education, but that also leaves you wanting to learn more.
