Stand-Up, Marriage Lessons & Action Heroes w/ Matt Moramarco

In this episode, we sit down with stand-up comic Matt Moramarco to talk about comedy, marriage, and the dumbest fight he’s ever had (hint: it involves a pillow). From performing at the iconic Comedy Store and bombing mid-set to navigating newlywed life, Matt brings honesty, laughter, and some surprising stories. We also unveil Matt’s 32-action-hero March Madness-style bracket—think John Wick vs. Jason Bourne—and tease a new YouTube Shorts series to go with it. Highlights include: • The nightmare comedy set that ended in a fall • Moving cross-country and the infamous pillow fight • Behind-the-scenes at the Comedy Store & Hollywood Improv • The truth about dating during COVID • Ultimate Action Hero bracket—who makes the cut? Stick around—this one’s packed with laughs and late-night wisdom.   Timestamps: 00:00 Cold Open 00:42 Ireland Trip Recap + Boston Marathon Talk 14:52 Guest Introduction: Matt Moramarco’s Family Ties 15:24 Matt’s Comedy Origin Story 20:33 First Show at the Hollywood Improv 22:04 Comedy Store Set + Getting Paid 26:28 Worst Bomb Ever: Forgot His Set 30:56 Doing 5–7 Shows a Week in LA 35:03 Meeting His Wife on Hinge During COVID 41:18 The Infamous Pillow Fight Story 47:19 Lessons From Year One of Marriage 53:03 Comedy Showdown: Nostalgic Favorites 1:10:31 Teaser: 32 Action Hero Tournament 1:21:04 Closing Thoughts + Dumbest Fights Request   Links & Mentions: 🎤 Hollywood Improv 🎭 The Comedy Store 🤣 Sebastian Maniscalco 🧠 Gary Gulman 🎙️ Wayne Brady Skit on Chappelle’s Show 🍽️ Key & Peele: Continental Breakfast   Follow us: Facebook Instagram  YouTube TikTok Twitter Join our Newsletter Visit the Mack & G Store
