Brent Weinbach

Brent Weinbach is an innovative and weird stand-up comedian, befitting of someone who won the Andy Kaufman Award in 2007. Since then, he has masterminded hit YouTube videos such as "Gangster Party Line," "Man Gives Birth" and "Ultimate Drumming Technique." With DJ Douggpound, Weinbach co-created and directed the Streamy-nominated web series, "Pound House." Weinbach also has appeared on multiple episodes of IFC's "Comedy Bang! Bang!" and Comedy Central's "Another Period." Even mainstream audiences have gotten to experience Weinbach courtesy of his stand-up sets on Conan, Lopez Tonight and The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail. His stand-up special "Appealing to the Mainstream" originally debuted on Seeso in 2017 and is now available on Amazon Prime. He also regularly headlines a show called Brent Weinbach and Friends at the Hollywood Improv, which is where I caught up with him in 2019. So let's get to it!
