Daniel Van Kirk! Comedian! Actor! Writer! Podcast host! Friend! Delight! Guy with a new special out now called Rose Gold!
ABOUT ROSE GOLD:Rose Gold is a Midwestern manâs wish that we all stop finding ways to disagree, start high-fiving strangers again, and party in Wisconsin. Daniel laments the assumptions we make about his shaved-head and bearded appearance, dictates when old people should and shouldnât be treated kindly, and teaches us how to have a fight while also putting some goodness into this world. He draws from his youth in Rochelle, IL, his formative years in Chicago, and his time spent at Jimmy Buffettâs Margaritaville Resort.
Rose Gold is named for Danielâs grandmother Rosemary, who at 94 years old is a living example of what it means to just roll with whatever life throws at you. Says Dainiel âWe live in a time of generational divides and hell, the people who are running our country are extremely old. But a section of this hour is about how old people still have to live in this current time and for me, Rosemary is a shining example of that.â
The process of creating this hour was a search for commonality. Rose Gold is an hour of comedy for everyone who simply wants to have a good time again.
ABOUT DANIEL VAN KIRK:
Daniel Van Kirk is a stand-up comedian whose comedy has charted at #1 on Apple Music. Heâs been named a âComic To Watchâ by Comedy Central as well as one of JFLâs 42 in Toronto. You may know him from his characters on Bobâs Burgers (FOX), Physical (Apple TV+), Central Park (Apple TV+), and the lead in the feature film, Wine Club (Prime).

Geoff Tice! Comedian! Podcaster! Actor! Artist! Delight!
Geoff has a new standup comedy album out called Jokes with a G, and here is some information about it straight from the Geoff's mouth:
âItâs a lighthearted and silly look at the world through the eyes of someone who doesnât take themselves â or anything really â too seriously.â He said. Jokes with a G is a collection of self-deprecating stories about being a new parent, second weddings, and his dadâs drunk late-night calls. The album was recorded at The Comedy Fort in Fort Collins (a wondeful club, I'll add from my own [Myq Kaplan's] mouth)!
And here's some more information about Geoff:
Geoff Tice is a Denver-based comedian, writer, podcaster, actor, and artist. Geoff got into comedy while working full-time in graphic design 12 years ago. He went to an open mic and bombed but he never looked back. He has since become a staple of the Denver scene. He is a regular at the world-famous Comedy Works and has toured his energetic stand-up comedy across the country. Geoff hosted Comedy Centralâs South Park 25th Anniversary Tailgate two-day event at Red Rocks and performed at SF Sketchfest, High Plains Comedy Festival, Red Clay and Limestone, and other festivals. Geoff has also contributed to The Nosebleedâs on UFC Fight Pass and appeared on Adult Swim.

Laura Merli! Comedian! Delight! Human with a new standup special out now!
ABOUT THE NEW SPECIAL WHICH IS ALSO HER DEBUT SPECIAL, "BELLY SLAPPIN' FUN!"
After cutting her teeth for 8 years in the indie comedy scene, Brooklyn comedy-favorite Laura Merli has amassed over 2 million likes on TikTok. Laura specializes in set-up/punch-line jokes and one-liners rather than storytelling, in the vein of her influences Mitch Hedberg and Maria Bamford, although Laura adds her own distinctive and unique flavor. This style lets her cover A LOT of ground: drugs, sex, family/childhood, her ADHD/autism, and her dog. While the jokes emanate from a wide array of departure points, the humor centers around the awkwardness and absurdity of being alive. Lauraâs delivery is distinctive as well - people describe her voice as deadpan but she promises she is being very expressive!
Since childhood Merli has been enamored with acting and writing. Although to Merli, improv initially seemed like âpaying to embarrass yourselfâ, she finally followed the lead of some friends and tried classes at ImprovAsylum. She had a great experience and ended up obsessed, but was still wanting the ability to write before stepping onto the stage. Realizing this pointed toward stand-up, Laura got her start at a friendâs variety show called âWhat Else You Gonna Do Wednesday Nightâ and never looked back!
Merli has taken her art and career in her own hands, refining her material all around NYC, and on the road via The Awkward Route Tour with fellow stand up Freddy G (Sirius XM, NPR). With comedy well-suited to the TikTok format, Belly Slappinâ Fun is eagerly anticipated by her large online following who, along with fans-to-be will get their dose of Belly Slappinâ Fun on July 18!
ABOUT LAURA MERLI:
Laura Merli is an NYC-based standup, actress, and writer. She amassed over 2 million likes on TikTok, was âpassedâ at New York Comedy Club, has headlined the âDon't Tellâ and âModelfaceâ comedy shows, and appeared at the New York Comedy festival as well as the Women in Comedy Festival. Every third Thursday, she hosts the Good Girl stand up show at Friends & Lovers, one of the hottest alt-comedy spots in Brooklyn. She has performed at top-tier venues across the city including The Bell House, Littlefield, Caveat, and more.
As someone who didnât start comedy until their late 20s, Laura has held a wide variety of odd jobs including cashier, ebay store photographer, project manager, zombie in an escape room, business analyst, and carnival worker (her grandparents family business). She has since written for and acted on sketch house teams at the PIT and Improv Boston as well as Reductress, The Hard Times, and McSweeneyâs. Merli has hosted/written/produced videos for the female-focused humor brand Cheezcake.

Darren Staley! Podcaster! Writer! Friend! Guy running for State Senate in North Carolina! Delight! More!
His podcast CrobamaNation is on hiatus through November 5th but you can listen to back episodes on all streaming platforms. You can also check out the accompanying Substack also called CrobamaNation. To learn more about Darren's state Senate campaign check out Staley for NC Senate or on Twitter @Staley4NCSenate. Also, Darren said this to me: "don't be shy about saying that you having me on doesn't imply any kind of endorsement by you. I mean obviously you CAN endorse the campaign if you want to but I know yours is not a political podcast and with polarization being what it is, I wouldn't want you getting any grief."
He is a kind man and as such, with whatever power I have as a podcaster and comedian and human, I DO endorse him!
And I endorse listening to our chat! It's a lot of fun.

Emily Catalano! Comedian! Friend! Delight! More!
She's got a new album out right now called "Hey." You can get it here!
And here's some more information about it and Emily:
Blonde Medicine is excited to announce the debut comedy album release from Emily Catalano, Hey., out now wherever comedy is streamed or sold, available for purchase on vinyl and coming out in a Dolby Atmos Version as well. Recorded live at the San Francisco Punch Line, the venue where she truly began her comedy journey, Emily Catalanoâs Hey. showcases her laid back style and sharp writing. On this debut album youâll hear about Emilyâs upbringing as a tomboy with 3 brothers, her religious parentsâ reaction when she came out as agnostic, and a both poignant and epic tale involving a loved oneâs ashes.
Said Emily Catalano, âmy debut album serves as a compilation of my best material to date, drawing from my experiences with marriage, divorce, dating, and religion. It's densely packed with jokes rooted in my personal life. Think of it as a therapy session, but with more laughs and less co-pays.â
Emily Catalano is a Los Angeles-based comedian who made her late night stand-up debut on CONAN and has since garnered attention with her viral stand-up clips circulating on social media. Known for her quick wit and dry humor, Emily's talent for crafting jokes out of everyday situations has garnered attention from Time Out LA, who named her a "Comic to Watch." Her deadpan delivery adds an extra layer of hilarity to her comedy, making her a standout in the comedy scene.

Sarah Hester Ross! Comedian! Musician! Comedy Musician! Musical Comedian! Friend! Delight! More!
Sarah's debut show at the Edinburgh Fringe is called âSarah Hester Ross Is What?âVenue: Just The Tonic - Nucleus - Atomic
Address: 140 Pleasance, Edinburgh EHB 9RR
Time: All shows at 2:30pm / 14:30
Show Dates: Aug 2-4, 7, 9-11, 14, 16-18
See her in Scotland if you can this August! (2024!)
And her special, available worldwide (or even in space probably) is called "Donât Mess With A Redhead."ABOUT "DON'T MESS WITH A REDHEAD":
Sarah invites you into the life of a TikTok-famous woman who doesnât want babies and leads the âstop giving men microphonesâ movement. Donât Mess With A Redhead, her hilarious debut special, serves as an introduction to a multi-talented comedian and musician best known for her 2.4 million social media followers and lovers of Florida Man Friday, who will be the first to tell you she aims to be the ânext Bette Midlerâ.
Hester Ross is aware that musical comedy is not everyoneâs cup of tea, but she effectively utilizes music to help audiences to stomach some very serious topics. âA spoonful of music helps the discussion of womenâs rights (or lack thereof) go down. The music is niche but the topics arenât and I feel thatâs what makes it specialâ, says Sarah.
Originally from Tampa, Florida but currently Las Vegas-based, Sarah has been performing professionally since age 11, when she got her start as a member of a show at Busch Gardens. Later, while performing at a piano bar in Orlando where people request top 40 songs and she would play them on the spot, a colleague told her âyouâre funny, you should go learn the gig properly somewhere else, your talents wonât be used hereâ. So she did, packing her possessions into her car and moving to Vegas where she started working the piano bar circuit.
The pandemic forced Sarah offstage and online, where her musical comedy hit on a larger scale, quickly building a sizable online following. This led to a post-pandemic three-month Vegas residency where she developed the hour, which she honed further by taking it on the road. The result is Donât Mess With A Redhead. Sarah admits â...it blew my mind that people would buy tickets to see me. Just me. It changed my whole perspective of what I wanted to do with my career.â While her mind may have been blown by the well-deserved audience attention, we believe audience minds will be similarly blown by Donât Mess With A Redhead.
ABOUT SARAH HESTER ROSS:
Sarah Hester Ross is a musical comedian from Las Vegas. Hester Ross is a one-of-a-kind entertainer, social media star, winner of the âBest Of Las Vegasâ comedian and one-women show. She has been featured on Americaâs Got Talent and The Doctor Demento Show and her music has earned more than 15 million worldwide streams, and counting. Sarah presents a formidable combination of musical and theatrical talents that has earned her an auspicious entry into the comedy performing world, as well as 2.4M followers on TikTok and over 260K on Instagram. Her good-natured, comedic exuberance, both on and off stage, has earned her the moniker of âThe Hilarious Redhead!â

Sean Keane! Comedian! Writer! Podcaster! Friend! Delight! More!
Sean is a funny friend and a great comedian with a new standup album out (his debut!) RIGHT NOW! It's called "America's Uncle Dad" and here's some more info about it!ABOUT AMERICA'S UNCLE DAD:
Sean Keane is a Bay Area native, and Americaâs Uncle Dad is very much a Bay Area album. It was recorded at the Punch Line in San Francisco and everyone the world over can relate to Seanâs lampooning of mass transit, (white) yoga culture, psychedelics, growing up with an adorable lisp, and a truly riotous take-down of a Simon and Garfunkel classic that we promise will forever change how you hear the song.
Keane grew up in the East Bay and moved to San Francisco. He started putting on stand-up shows in college at Berkeley, where he was the editor-in-chief of the campus humor magazine, The Heuristic Squelch. He currently lives in Oakland with his fiancĂ© and their Aussie doodle puppy, Pinot Noir. Sean began doing stand-up himself in 2005 when he â...stopped just writing funny things for the internet or magazines and started actually saying them into a microphone in publicâŠit turns out you start doing stand-up comedy by just doing stand-up comedyâ.
Weâre certainly glad he did, and the material he has crafted and honed since then makes Americaâs Uncle Dad a remarkable and hilarious debut, and Sean is sure to be your favorite of all your relatives.â
MORE ABOUT SEAN KEANE:
Sean Keane is a writer, stand-up comedian and co-host of the Roundball Rock NBA podcast. He has contributed to "Another Period," "Billy On The Street," NBC, Comedy Central, ESPN The Magazine and McSweeney's. In 2014, the SF Bay Guardian named him the best comedian in San Francisco, then immediately went out of business.
