If you are into the comedy scene then you will love it.
Never Not Funny is a weekly comedy podcast with very good production and audio qualities that features Jimmy Pardo and two friends, Mike Schmidt and Matt Belknap. The show is produced weekly and runs for about an hour. It has a very relaxed format and effectively meanders from one topic to the next as the hosts discuss a myriad of topics. As an Australian I was unfamiliar with Jimmy Pardo’s work; although I know many people reading this review would know him from his comedy work and shows such as Funny Money and Movies at Our House. The best thing that Never Not Funny has going for it is that the three regular hosts are professional entertainers. They are able to maintain a high tempo throughout the show, and more importantly, come across as really engaging and likeable people. It’s too difficult to attempt to pigeonhole the variety of topics that Jimmy and his co-hosts discuss so I will just mention a few recent ones. On recent episodes Jimmy has discussed Thanksgiving, computers and his experiences working on numerous TV and comedy shows. One of the problems with the show was the length; I found myself drifting off at certain parts of the show. It’s hard to stay focussed on a conversation without an agenda, as a passive listener, for a full hour. My other gripe with the show was that too often I felt like I was an outsider listening in on a conversation about a world (comedy and celebrity) that I would unlikely ever be involved in, let alone relate to. I realise that my background as an Australian not growing up with many of the shows that Jimmy has appeared in influences this position. If you’re after a good-natured comedy show that’s well presented and often entertaining (if not laugh aloud funny) then this show will most probably appeal to you. Being familiar with the US comedy scene will also be a big advantage in relating to the content of the show and will probably bump your own personal rating of the show to an 8 or a 9.Read full review »

Totally laugh out loud humorous. Several tummy laughs and guffaws induced in each of the shows. I laughed my sandals off. unlike the start of this review they are witty and funny and any red blooded metro sexual would want to hang at the spa with them.

I listen to my iPod @ work, and this podcast makes me LAUGH OUT LOUD (and sometimes gets me strange looks from co-workers)! It is fast-paced and hilarious! I only wish they made them more often than once a week.Read full review »
