The boys are joined by NYC comedian, actor, and writer Katie Hannigan. Coming off the release of her latest comedy album “Feeling of Emptiness”, Katie is building up her new material while exploring other passionates such as screen acting. Her writing processes are inspiring including transcribing other comedians material she likes to figure out the writing, writing exercises before working on material, scanning past social media posts, and so many more great tips! Everything began to click for Katie once she was able to establish a consistent voice for all of her material. If you feel stuck in writing, struggling with your point of view, or would like to get some new inspiration, check out this fun conversation with Katie!

No, we’re not debating wearing shorts on stage, we’re talking digital shorts… Are you making them? Are you struggling getting eyes on them? How can you level up? Have you considered submitting them to festivals? Sarah has been perfecting the craft of DIY production of her sketches and has recently found success with her digital short “Sleepover Mom” being accepted to the 2022 Just For Laughs “Eat My Shorts” film competition directed by none other than Breaking Down Bits own Drew Jordan! We also talk building new standup material post special recording and post pandemic and talk about her major role in the Joe List & Louis CK film “Fourth of July” Just released nationwide. Give it a listen! And check out some of Sarah’s work on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/c/SarahTollemache7

Comedian and writer Alex English joins the guys to talk comedy! Alex has come a long way in the last decade in the game since being unknowingly signed us for an open mic to just be completing his first season of writing for Saturday Night Live! Admittedly he says he feels like had to start over in comedy as a new SNL writer but embraces the challenge and is optimistic about how he will grow while continuing his standup at the Comedy Cellar and clubs around New York and across the country. Alex encourages you to visit different cities and audiences, find input from news (CNN and Fox News) have experiences and use all this to define your comedy writing and character on stage and listen to all your sets, not just the good ones if you want to grow faster!

If you take away anything from Adam it is to grind it out and hustle. For five years he was barking at a club in New York in exchange for stage time. Then fought for each opportunity he got including three times getting passed on NBC’s Last Comic Standing but only making it on to the next round the third time when he stood up for himself. He has always run his own room, even to this day running a room in LA and came up in an era alongside so many greats sharing stories and wisdom he gathered along the way. Most recently he has had success working for the UFC and his platform “MMA Roasted” after pitching a show idea in a chance run in with Dana White. Inspiring, informative, fun, check out this talk with Adam!
