Steve Bruner On Building A Long Stand-Up Career

2026-11-0845:31

Send us Fan Mail Not being famous doesn’t mean you failed. Sometimes it means you built something sturdier: a career that actually lasts. We sit down with our longtime friend Steve Bruner, a veteran stand-up comedian whose work spans comedy clubs, corporate comedy, cruise ships, and TV, to talk honestly about what keeps a comic working decade after decade. Steve takes us back to the early signals that pulled him toward the stage, the notebook habits that shaped his joke writing, and the grin...

Four Standup Comedy Styles Collide In One Fast Show

2026-11-0124:22

Send us Fan Mail A “cornucopia” sounds fancy until you hear what we mean: a rapid, no-filler variety pack of live comedy that jumps styles on purpose and keeps you laughing before you can settle in. We built Cornucopia of Comedy as a time-capsule ride through the 1980s and 1990s comedy scene connected to Laughs Unlimited, our outdoor Laughs in the Park concerts, and the TV world around Live at Laughs. We start with the late, great vibe of a true master of ceremonies, Ronnie Kenny, delivering...

Send us Fan Mail Three names you already know, captured at moments you probably haven’t heard: Jay Leno in a sold-out 1985 Sacramento concert, Dana Carvey in 1983 when he’s still a hungry featured act, and Jerry Seinfeld in 1980 making his first appearance on R. Scott Edwards’ stage at Laughs Unlimited. This one plays like a comedy time capsule, with the original room energy intact and the kind of live timing you can’t fake in a studio. We kick off with Leno firing on all cylinders, turning ...

Jeanette Rizzi On Turning Tragedy Into Stand Up, Interview of a Comedienne

2026-10-1129:22

Send us Fan Mail Jeanette Rizzi didn’t take the “safe” path into stand-up comedy. She talked her way into moving for law school, then immediately started chasing stage time and never looked back. That tension between stability and the pull of the mic runs through everything we talk about, especially what it’s like to come up in the Los Angeles comedy scene where crowds can feel tougher, more jaded, and harder to impress. We also get into the kind of material you can’t fake. Jeanette shares t...
