Legendary comedian Ritch Shydner is known to my fans as the true heart and soul of “I Am Comic” (Available on iTunes). To three generations of stand-up comics, he remains a powerhouse of pure monology. Ritch and I met in the 1980’s during the comedy boom when I opened for him. Neither of us remember the details or the city.

We talk stand-up comedy, the road, doing a documentary together, today’s podcast circuit, working with comedians, and his book. “Kicking Through The Ashes” is a great read, especially for the comedy aficionado with ADHD. I love it and you need to buy it here.

Please share. Thanks,

Playwright, comedian, writer, producer. Scott Carter is all of those things plus Executive Producer of HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher”. He’s also one of the smartest guys I’ve ever hung out with. You’ll love this peek behind the curtain of my favorite show and gain insight into what it takes to make a great live show tick week after week. He’s the show runner supreme.

A great storyteller, Scott mixes fun facts into his tales, and delivers them in a riveting fashion. Big thanks to Michael Addis for interviewing Scott for the podcast.

His play, “The Gospel According to Thomas Jefferson, Charles Dickens and Count Leo Tolstoy: Discord” is a hit at the Geffen Playhouse. Click tickets. Running now through Dec. 21st, 2014. Run don’t walk
