"Paul & Phil", from Radio to Comedy Club then "Answer Guys" to 4 Emmy's...Great story!

Send us Fan MailA comedy club can change a city, and it can change a career. We sit down with Emmy Award winners Paul Robbins and Phil Cowan and rewind to the early Laughs Unlimited days in Old Sacramento, when a young room, hungry local comics, and a couple of wildly original radio promos helped build real momentum for stand-up comedy in Northern California. If you love comedy history, comedy club stories, or the behind-the-scenes craft of writing jokes that land, this one is packed with detail.We talk about how two speech team “geeks” turn performance reps into stand-up, then into their one-of-a-kind act, live radio theater, complete with sound effects and scene work in a comedy showroom. That creative swing opens an unexpected door into morning radio at KPOP, and the path keeps unfolding through Y92, big live events, and the kind of listener stunts that only work when the writing is solid and the audience trusts you.From there, the story expands into television, including the Answer Guys on the Discovery Channel and the Emmy wins that came from saying yes to assignments and doing the work even when the schedule got brutal. Along the way we swap classic Laughs Unlimited memories, name the comics who left a mark, and make the case for clean comedy that families can hear in the car without cringing.Subscribe for more stand-up comedy conversations, share this with a friend who misses old-school radio, and leave a review with your favorite comedy club memory.Hosted by: R.
