Funniest People (You've Never Heard Of)

Theodore ME Taylor aka The Bowtie Guy, is a curmudgeon with a heart of gold. We get into all of the things he hates, as well as some of the things he loves, like winning Houston’s Funniest Person in 2011 and his new special “Bowtie Guy,” out now! He’s an actor, a comedian, and our first guest to burst into song. He’s a man of many talents and ties, and Theodore always brings the energy so strap in for this epic episode! 

Alexis Prigo is the first guest to compare their pubes to Peter’s facial hair. Do we really need to give you more information to get you to listen? Okay fine. Alexis’ comedy covers her dating history to her life as a Latina (see: Brown-ish) all while carrying on the comedy career that her public defender father always wanted. Needless to say, she has an inspiring story to tell and we are here for it! 

Rounding out our trio of cast members from Netflix’s Unstable, Chris Aquilino joins us for what could be his final day in show business, you never know with this guy. Chris has a stacked IMDB page with acting credits in the aforementioned Unstable, Silicon Valley, 911, Barry, How to Get Away with Murder and now, our Funniest People pod! Despite his “curated” persona, Chris opens up about his religious roots growing up different in Ventura and how he has found his self-confidence in the ever changing world of entertainment. 

Brittany Ross is a hilarious actress and comedian with an amazing story to tell. We learn how her career in competitive cheerleading led her to the world of performing on stage and why she doesn't ride mopeds anymore. And there's one bone she hasn't broken-- her funny bone. Her story is fun and charming and we know you'll love her as much as we did.

Jovita Trujillo is  journalist, comedian, actress, and an open book when it comes to talking about the difficult experiences that allowed her to find her voice in the world of entertainment. From press junkets to red carpets, Jovita covers the glitz and glam of Hollywood for Hola! and is a member of an all female sketch group where she hilariously tackles some of the tragic stories that have brought her to where she is today.

Not even a large red stop sign could get in the way of Noah Copfer sitting down with us to discuss his burgeoning comedy career. We discuss his appearance on the final season of Curb Your Enthusiasm, the filming of his own stand-up special, and why none of us can take a compliment. This is a great episode for comics or anyone fans of sick mullets.

Completing our first husband-wife appearance on the show, Julia Hladkowicz comes to us by way of her hubby Matt O’Brien— who is funnier? That’s up to you to decide.

Today we sit down with the hilarious actress Rachel Marsh, our second star from Netflix’s Unstable.

If you have stand-up comedy, reality TV and a Fast & Furious Parody Musical on your Bingo Card, then this is the episode for you. Brad is a brilliant comedian but has also worked on many of your favorite reality shows (Bachelor, FBoy Island, House of Villains) making all of your favorite reality personalities funnier they ever would have been on their own. We dive into Brad’s road to LA and his biggest bomb on stage after being named one of Comedy Central’s Comics to Watch. Some of his friends still have not spoken to him again after that fateful performance, but after listening to this episode, you’ll all want to be Brad’s new BFF. 

Today’s guest is the hilarious comic Arijana Ramic, whose meteoric rise has earned her the coveted Door Guy title at the legendary Comedy Store in Hollywood. Lately, she’s been turning heads—and getting big laughs—by tapping into her Bosnian heritage, but her comedy is anything but niche. From immigrant moms to childhood trauma, Arijana finds the funny in places most comics wouldn’t dare go. She can even make child abuse funny, unless you’re in one of those stuffy West LA crowds. You know who you are and you probably should have been spanked as a kid. Now go to your room and don't come out until you've listened to this hilarious episode!

Our next guest drove a soup-ed up school bus from his hometown in Maine across the U.S. all the way to Los Angeles, performing stand-up comedy along the way.

So outside to meet your driver and enjoy this episode!

Emily Browning wears many faces, and that’s not just clown make up. She’s a comedian, actress, balloon sculptor, improv artist, and all around hilarious comic who brings great energy and charm, even if she was 3 minutes late. But for an interview this fun, we will forgive her.
