On this episode of The Lou Perez Podcast I talk with my friend Kira Davis about Canadian comedian dominance, why suburbs are better than cities, and how fatherhood has changed me.    KIRA'S SOCIAL  @RealKiraDavis https://davisnation.locals.com/ https://redstate.com/author/kiradavis/ Just Listen to Yourself https://open.spotify.com/show/02zQxBYuv7bHZt4XFTkyJN     Support My Sponsors https://www.blvckbrew.com/ - Use promo code LOU for Free Shipping! www.palomaverdeCBD.com - Use promo code LOU for 25% off purchases over $75.  Support thelouperez.locals.com   @TheLouPerez www.TheLouPerez.com https://www.instagram.com/thelouperez/ https://www.minds.com/LouPerez/ Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-lou-perez-podcast/id1535032081 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2KAtC7eFS3NHWMZp2UgMVU  Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/the-lou-perez-podcast Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/2b7d4d82-d9cf-4a1e-85b7-d0d2b7089d46/The-Lou-Perez-Podcast  Theme music by Scott Hampton http://scotthamptoncomposer.com/  I was the Head Writer and Producer of the Webby Award-winning comedy channel We the Internet TV. 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.
