NO YES ANDS with Al Park

This episode of The Boston Shit Show features Al Park, named "Boston's Best Comic" by The Improper Bostonian.

Al tells Josh about winning the Boston Comedy Festival, the Cleveland Comedy Festival, being a finalist in the Seattle International Comedy Competition, starting comedy later in life, after years of counting trees in Oregon and working in kitchens.

Josh and Al compare the work that goes into stand up vs. that of improv, and Josh proclaims that he truly hates improv after having tried it. 

They talk about taking classes in standup and what kind of jokes fly when you're first starting out; they compare comedy to performing music, specifically the cello.

They compare famous dead comics, and Josh tells a story about why his parents hate George Carlin. Al talks about burning the material after doing a big special, and they talk about Chris Rock hosting the Oscars.

Al has done some weird shows, including a bonfire on a karaoke machine with a 3-foot cord and everyone with their backs to him.

Matt Kona

This episode of the Boston Shit Show features the incredibly hilarious comedian Matt Kona, dropping by to plug his Roast Battle Boston coming up this Thursday!

Matt Kona comes by the Front Room studio to talk about the upcoming Roast Battle he's put together, going down this Thursday, January 28th at the Davis Square Theater in Somerville, MA. Josh and Matt discuss the format of the battle and how he matched up the contenders. 

The guys take a couple pokes at Chris Nakis, who mysteriously lammed it out of Boston.

The question of what sitcoms you wish you could have been on arises and some classics are discussed, leading into a conversation about the many brilliant projects of Ricky Gervais & Co.

Matt tells the story of how doing a 90-second set got him a spot opening for Craig Robinson (of The Office) at the Wilbur Theater in Boston.

Some classic Roasts and Roasters are discussed; they get back to the format of the Roast Battle with specifics on the comics and as if they were part of Matt's new found love, the MMA/UFC, and how the Battle is "No Holds Barred" - everything is roastable!
The show closes up with Matt talking about serving Grand Jury duty in Salem...
for THREE AND A HALF MONTHS.
