Casey Crawford, Co-Champ of the 24th Annual Boston Comedy Festival 2024, a Jimmy Kimmel Alumni and most likely the ONLY guest we’ll ever have on from South Dakota!

Casey made up for a (very) late start in comedy with an insanely meteoric rise the first couple years in comedy … and to do so from Nebraska’s 5-person comedy scene … WHAT?

Casey is an absurdist comedian who delivers his out of left field jokes while in a semi crazed, let’s give THIS guy some space when he gets on the subway, character.

We had the most insanely fun and cerebral chat regarding breaking down the mathematics of a good fart joke.

HOLY SNICKIES – 7 YEARS OF OUR CRAP.

Yep … 1st CPP was Memorial Day Weekend 2017 – Insane. Pats were GREAT. My kids liked me … but 1600 Penn Ave was … not good.

Highlights from THIS episode … talking Jacques ripping a tooth out opening his pool (who had THAT on their bingo card), Joe’s kid graduating highschool and on to college, some celeb deaths (Dabney Coleman, Steve Lawrence, Morgan Spurlock)

Actual sports chat (briefly) as Jacques went to HISTORICAL game 2 of PWHL inaugural Walter Cup, Man City (predictable) wins Premier Leauge, and Joe watched B’s break Boston’s hearts again.

TV chat – Joes loving Fall Out and Jacques could only stomach ep 1 of 3 of Ashley Madison doc.

Little gaming talk. Parenting Tips and much much more … like too much … we gotta keep this to an hour.

83-Year-Old-Jewish-Vaudevillian trapped inside a 24-year-old’s body, Joseph Katz is our guest this week.

A finalist in the 2024 Boston Comedy Festival – Joseph Katz chats with OUR Joe and Jacques about their mutual love for the Dick Van Dyke Show, Jack Benny and pre-Carson Tonight Show (Note: we all also LOVE Carson’s Tonight Show.) Katz had a cable access (Daily Show) type program in high school, followed by his college radio comedy talk show at WMUL at UMass Lowell (about 3 miles from Jacques’ shack) – Comedy IS his life! And his life is pretty good!

Katz falls somewhere between the great Emo Phillips and the Boston Legend Steven Wright. An “absurdist” style of very smart humor with hard to see coming, sharp right turns.

The youngest comic on the finals stage at BCF this year and he’s only going to get more seasoned. He is truly one to watch as he’s just that lucky break from becoming a nationally known comic.
