This week on Kill the Small Talk, Alex Caron sits down with comedian John Campanelli (Comedy Central, Just for Laughs, Adult Swim) for a wide-open conversation about life, comedy, and everything in between.

John talks about growing up between New York and Pennsylvania, moving around as a kid, and how being the “new kid” over and over shaped his sense of humor. He and Alex dig into childhood bands, Catholic guilt, and awkward first crushes — all the strange, funny, and sometimes painful experiences that pushed John toward stand-up.

From Division 1 baseball to writing jokes in college, to eventually taking the leap into comedy, John shares the journey of finding his voice on stage and the lessons he’s learned along the way. Equal parts hilarious and insightful, this episode is proof that the best conversations happen once you kill the small talk.

This week on Kill the Small Talk, Alex sits down with comedian, filmmaker, and writer Kevin Heisinger for a conversation that dives deep into the highs and lows of chasing comedy in Los Angeles. Kevin shares his journey from starting stand-up in Sacramento to moving to LA right before the pandemic, and how that timing shaped his career.

They talk about the grind of open mics, the frustrations of “bringer shows,” and what it’s like to produce your own comedy nights in a city full of competition. Kevin also reflects on his old podcast The Midnight Movie Podcast, where he reviewed the “best bad movies,” and how those screenings turned into hilarious traditions with friends.

From discussing the unglamorous side of LA comedy culture to laughing about birthday parties filled with terrible films, Alex and Kevin keep things raw, funny, and real.

This week on Kill the Small Talk, Alex Caron sits down with Canadian comedian and actress Geneviève Dubé Carpenter, whose journey to the stage is anything but ordinary.

From competitive figure skating to fitness modeling, and now starring as the female lead in a brand-new TV comedy, Geneviève has reinvented herself time and again. She opens up about imposter syndrome on set, the discipline she carried over from sports, and how a single open mic snowballed into a full-blown comedy career.

Funny, sharp, and refreshingly honest, Geneviève shares what it’s like balancing life between Canada and Los Angeles, why comedy feels like “finding your people,” and how she’s embracing her next chapter as an actor.

New episodes every Wednesday — because small talk is dead.
