Comedy: Santina Muha Takes Us From The Shores Of Jersey To The Halls of UCB
Comedian/writer Santina Muha discusses hosting her monthly UCB show Rolling With My Homies, best practices for people getting into improv comedy and her hard-boiled days as a reporter for Tiger Beat Magazine.
We’d love to introduce Santina Muha but you likely already know about her from shows like the impossible to spell Spontaneanation, the strangely punctuated Comedy Bang! Bang!, the slightly difficult to spell and slightly strangely punctuated Assscat! and the easy to spell and punctuate One Day At A Time. Santina walks us through her early life in New Jersey, her college career studying sociology and her early jobs before moving to LA (including her time reporting for Tiger Beat Magazine). When she got to LA, she went straight to UCB to try her hand at comedy and hasn’t looked back since. From hosting her own shows (the always well-photographed Rollin’ With My Homies and Aunt Tina & Deena Celebrate) to stand-up to one-woman shows to this very podcast, Santina brings a singular wall-of-energy aesthetic to everything she creates. Does that include the show Pretty that is currently in development over at CBS? Well, you’re going to have to listen to find out. As always, thanks for tuning in!

Comedy - Madeline Wager Takes Drip Dry Dracula And Runs With It
Madeline Wager is a singularity who contains multitudes and we got many of her on the show!
We know Madeline Wager first as Greasy Bouffanti and second as Krafty Karen and third as Tammercising Tammy. Today, we finally get to sit down and know the woman behind all of the characters. Madeline walks us through her time in Chicago and her move out to LA as well as her insight into developing characters. To find out which of her characters were birthed from an oddly-pronounced word, which was birthed from a thrift-store find, and which comes from the world of arm wrestling, you have to listen. When we turn to the Fishbowl, we pull questions about film role usurping and what you’d like to be remembered for. As always, thanks for listening! #dripdrydracula

Comedy - Kristen Studdard Takes Us To The Magical Church Of Michael
In which Kristen Studard takes over The Hollywood Fishbowl.
You’ve heard Part I of the II-Part conversation with Kristen Studard. Now, it’s time for Part II of the II-Part conversation! We’ve given the reins to Kristen and she makes the most of her time as host of the show by showering praise on Magical Michael II: Extra Extra Large. Always the contrarian, Jesse runs a vibrant campaign for the dominance of Madeline Maxine III: Furious Roads as the most feminist film of all time. Because that’s what men do. When we get to The Fishbowl, we pull questions about solution, memories (courtesy of @phoeborama), love and loss (courtesy of @rrybrator) and friendly regrets. As always, thank you for listening!

Comedy - Kristen Does Her Best (And It’s Damn Good)
In which we meet the comedian behind the mad-cap brilliance of Ricky Burbank.
You know Kristen Studard from her appearances on Tim Robinson’s Has This Ever Happened To You (fun fact, Kristen’s episode also had Fishbowl Alumn Morgan Eliza Hill in it!) and Modern Family. But, we know her as the brilliant mind behind Ricky Burbank, The King Of the Valley Bros. In this conversation, Swinky and Jesse track the evolution of Kristen’s career from her childhood to landing in LA to finally cracking the shell and finding a life and career here. Also, great news! Kristen was in no rush so there’s a second part coming to this interview! As always, thank you for listening!

Comedy - Ryan Barton Joins Us In Blowing Out The Mics
In which we welcome improv comedian, drag racer and filmmaker Ryan Barton to the program.
We wanted him! We got him! Welcome to the show, Ryan Barton! After working together for over a year on UCB Drag Race, we’re thrilled to get to know the man behind the all-star-status queen Bottomless Mimosa. With a year of history and hardly 3 prior conversations between Jesse and Ryan, there’s a lot to get into. The conversation winds from Ryan’s early years finding his way in comedy to a shocking revelation that co-host Jesse never saw coming (hint: not all comedians want to be actors). Swinky’s along for the ride on this one and she brings her own set of enthusiastic questions and concerns to the conversation. As always, thank you for listening!
