During my tenure at WTI, I made the kind of comedy that gets you put on lists and your words in the Wall Street Journal: "How I Became a 'Far-Right Radical." No longer with WTI, I am now fully independent and free to take on subjects I've always wanted to. In addition to producing sketch comedy, stand-up, and opinion writing, I also host The Lou Perez Podcast with new episodes every week.   How'd I start out?   I began doing improv and sketch comedy while an undergrad at New York University, where I was part of the comedy group the Wicked Wicked Hammerkatz.   For years, I performed at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater (both in NYC and L.A.) in sketch shows with the Hammerkatz and my comedy duo, Greg and Lou. G&L are probably best known for our sketch "Wolverine's Claws Suck," which has over 20 million views on various platforms.   I was a writer for Fox Sports' @TheBuzzer; produced The Attendants with the Above Average Network; produced pilots for FOX Digital and MSN Games; and was a comedy producer on TruTV's Impractical Jokers.   I hosted the stand-up show Uncle Lou's Safe Place for two years in Los Angeles, performed at the Big Pine Comedy Festival, Bridgetown Comedy Festival, and co-created the political comedy podcast Unsafe Space. I taught creative writing at the City College of New York, "writing the web series" for Writing Pad, and comedy writing workshops for the Moving Picture Institute.      APPLE I talk with the CEO of DonorSee, Gret Glyer, about his charity, his work in Malawi, and my relationship with Nepal.   https://donorsee.com/   Sponsors https://www.blvckbrew.com/ - LOU for Free Shipping! www.palomaverdeCBD.com - LOU for 25% off purchases over $75.   thelouperez.locals.com   www.TheLouPerez.com Be on the lookout for my book, That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore   Theme music by Scott Hampton http://scotthamptoncomposer.com/
