from The Rick Thorne Show Hosted by Rick Thorne
Comedian and musician Joel Jimenez tells Rick Thorne about growing up in LA's Frogtown neighborhood and running the Marsh Park skatepark for 10 years. He talks about his band Mad Peaceful, living with panic disorder, jiu-jitsu injuries, and how he went from theater and improv to Kill Tony, where a toy kid's bass drum from a thrift store got him into the show's band in 2016 at The Comedy Store.
