Howie's High Sierra Comedy Vault

Episode 190 with comedians Allan Havey, Rick D'Elia & Dana Eagle. Topics include power in Hollywood and those who abuse it (such as Harvey Weinstein), conspiracies and those who believe them (D'Elia, myself) and those who are skeptical (Havey, Eagle) and the dark side of comedy (that we all agreed on).


Episode189 with comedians Vince Morris & Michael Blaustein and this episode is by far the most extensive chat on racial relations ever. Vince has a very interesting take on this as he has seen and lived through people who were racist and also to his father who fought in Korea. Yes, it was a different time but when you grow up in that kind of environment yes, it does make a difference. It's a good one folks and it's all at Howienave.com


Episode 188 with comedians John Caponera & Alycia Cooper on information overload & how it filters into comedy. Topics include John wishing politics wouldn't be a part of sports and Alycia suggesting a compromise, the passing of Playboy founder Hugh Heffner segueing into how easy it is for kids to access sexually explicit material on the Internet (John's a father of sons and a daughter so he has a unique perspective) and priorities balancing art in the classroom versus a city in Texas paying 72 million dollars on a football stadium at the high school level!


Episode 187 is uploaded and features comedian-actor Adam Ray, 'How he got his first agent' Sandy Danto and perennial host David Gee who also played host at Budd Friedman's book launch party at the LA Improv where I drove down from Lake Tahoe down to Los Angeles in 8 hours. Some great stories between the four of us and I think you'll enjoy this episode because of it.


Episode 186 with comedians Darren Carter 'The Party Starter' & Joe Praino 'A Casualty of The Bingle Bus Tour' recorded 'live' in South Lake Tahoe. A lot is covered including the secret to Darren Carter's 20 year marriage (be submissive whenever possible), Joe Praino's inspiration to go from a career in sports journalism to stand up comedy (after watching comedian/TV host David Letterman kissing Julia Roberts on his late night television show) and finding out that all 3 of us are big fans of gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson.


Episode 185 with my 1st 3-way comedic experience with Henry Phillips, Jessica Michelle Singleton and Rick D'Elia all performing @ the Improv Lake Tahoe this weekend and who were on my morning radio show too. All three are seasoned comedians and of course love coming to Lake Tahoe.


Episode 184 with comedians Jerry Rocha (who has a Netfix special out now) & Ken Garr (who makes divorce look so easy) and both on Howie's High Sierra Comedy Vault Podcast @ Howienave.com broadcasting from South Lake Tahoe. This is Rocha's second time up here and for Ken Garr his very first time to the Tahoe area.


Episode 18e on Howie's High Sierra Comedy Vault Podcast with comedian & premiere author Ritch Shydner and comedian Chase DuRousseau (who we're expecting great things from).


Episode 182 with comedians Rocky LaPorte, Ron Morey & special guest 'Carol' who always shows up when Rocky and Ron perform together up here in South Lake Tahoe. Carol will be singing a rare, impromptu closing number on diversity reflecting the turbulent times this country (the USA) has been going through. Both Rocky and Ron performed at the Tahoe Improv Comedy Club in South Lake Tahoe.


Episode 181 with comedians Jenny Zigrino & Chris Fairbanks. Yes, I've referred to them as 'newbies-to-the-Lake' but not newbies in the comedy biz. On this episode everything from unintentional audience participation to experiencing things that still shock you when you thought you've seen it all! With South Lake Tahoe as the backdrop and this being their first time on our stage I'm reminded that being up here is still a much better choice (for your host) than being in a place such as Los Angeles.
