“Being a life long fan of stand up comedy I was looking for something to listen to to enrich my knowledge of the behind the scenes of stand up. I got that and so much more from The History of Standup.
I wholeheartedly recommend this podcast to any fan of comedy!”

“It’s obvious they put a ton of work into every episode. The hosts do a great job of letting the subject shine. This is not one of those thrown together podcasts where the hosts talk all over each other trying to be entertaining. This is a high quality, in depth, well-researched, and fun podcast....”Read full review »

“This is a great history of standup comedy. You will learn a lot, especially about the comedians from before you were born. However, like most modern historians trying to tell you the entire story, it is heavily weighted towards what has happened most recently. Similar to the history of baseball,...”Read full review »

“Great podcast! Wayne is very knowledgeable and Andrew provides a great role as a “layman” so it’s not too “inside baseball”. I love the tempo of the podcast, it’s not just people yelling and talking over each other. I very much like the style of interjecting recorded bits as a supplement to what...”Read full review »
