Icing: Talking to Comedian FRANCIS CRONIN before He Embarks on His ROUGH SET Journey

Having a good set under the best of conditions is already one of the most challenging tests for a comedian. Now when you add the elements, physical fatigue, and the pressure of raising awareness for charity, the stakes are raised to almost impossible levels. Of course, all that won’t deter stand-up comedian Francis Cronin (Fox’s […]

Icing: Find Out What Makes THE JONES FAMILY RETRO SHOW Tick

Icing: Find Out What Makes THE JONES FAMILY RETRO SHOW Tick

Great things can happen when childhood dreams become adult (comedy) rock star magic. Sisters Maris Jones and Lavinia Jones Wright grew up playing dress up and acting out their visions in front of a VHS camcorder. (Please don’t make me explain that technology, kids). When the sisters were united in New York City, they utilized […]

Once upon a time, David Kantrowitzi and Greg Nix met each other on a mess hall team at the Upright Citizens Brigade.

Icing: Practice Pays Off for KATE WILLETT in The Second Installment of Netflix’s THE COMEDY LINEUP

When I hear “Netflix and Chill,” I don’t think streaming Ozark with a side of heart palpitations (not that there’s anything wrong with that). If you’re looking for an uplifting subscription-based program to soak up, may we suggest Netflix’s THE COMEDY LINEUP series. Not only is PART 2 of the stand-up feast a one-stop shop […]

Icing: We Talked to Rock Star Comic DUSTIN CHAFIN About His Engaging One-on-One Interview Podcast I’LL LEAVE YOU WITH THIS

“Outlaw Comic” DUSTIN CHAFIN (as seen on HBO’s Crashing, Showtime and is a regular on Sirius XM) cannot be defined by comedy alone.
