Hey interested folks in Memphis Comedy! I realize that I've been severely lacking in the update area, but whatever. I'm sorry if you missed Joe Rogan at the High Point, but that's why I encourage you to follow @memphiscomedy on twitter to get the latest updates about shows before it comes to the blog.
Recently, there's been a crazy influx of podcasts to the Memphis Comedy ring. As of now, there are 5 around.
1. White Noise with Kerry White - hosted by Kerry White. Read the blog about Kerry to see if you can handle the realism and the harsh truth that White smacks you in the head with. Not for the faint of heart. Also, it's for the truly badasses.
2. Howling Monkey Reads the Comics - a podcast by local improviser and periodic character comic Joe Leibovich. The premise of the show is talking out various comics from the daily comics. Fairly straight forward, but know condescension and hilarity is to ensue, and I'm looking at you Dagwood!
3. Mostly Comedy - a hosted by Katrina Murrell and Andy Fleming, the Mostly Comedy podcast is fun for an insight into local comedy, fraught with periodic guest, and they talk about mostly, well, comedy.
4. Don't be Afraid of the Dark w/ Josh McLane - Josh McLane hosts 20 minutes a week bringing his distinctive outlook to the masses; topics typically include commonsense, frustration with the world, and he seems to like comic books a little. There are no guests, it's the dictatorship and Josh is driving the sovereign podcast whichever way while you hold on for the ride.
5. Shut Up and Listen - the podcast that started it all. Shut Up and Listen was originally a music oriented show with bands and playing tracks from CDs, now it has fused together with Memphis Comedy along with keeping with the loose music background. This show has the widest array of guests, from reference lord and local comic Mike Degnan to the Whimsical Douche Bunnies. A big thanks to Jared Callan and Justin Talley for producing and/or hosting some of the other shows. Go to the site and decide which ones.
