  • Sydney Kane (New York Comedy Festival) - Bath(Room) Bomb

    Sydney Kane (New York Comedy Festival) - Bath(Room) Bomb
    2025/11/26
    This episode is FULL! Sydney and Dan get into the importance of funny and engaging videos, catching the wave of the ever-changing algorithm, what makes a comedian, figuring out “how to land the plane,” using comedy “cheat codes,” and the pitfall of making unnecessary changes.

    Also, authenticity, not being precious, dolls vs. action figures, Dan learns a new word, and Larry wants to know what a “situation ship” is!

    Sydney Kane

    Sydney Kane is an NYC-based actor, singer, comedian, and writer who has performed everywhere from off-off-off-barely Broadway to the big 9x16 iPhone screen. A graduate of Pace University with a BFA in Musical Theater, she’s done improv at UCB and Second City and gained a following on social media for her extremely insightful dating content. With sharp comedic writing and quick-witted lyrics, Kane brings a warm and unassuming stage presence, leveling with her audience in a fearless self-deprecating humor but always with a knowing wink from the stance of striking confidence without flinching. People think she is very wise, especially straight men. (Follow @sydneymorgankane on all social media.)

    Eliot Rahal (Knock’em Dead, Midnight Vista) - Knock 'Em Dead
    2025/11/12
    Dan’s at SiouxperCon and gets to have a great chat with comic book author (Knock’em Dead, Midnight Vista) and former standup Eliot Rahal! From his time starting at the legendary Lincoln Lodge in Chicago to his chance at a pilot to writing comic books, they discuss the need for a point of view, the reasons we do comedy, and the need to get out of your “safe rooms” so you can push yourself.

    The episode also delves into bombing when it counts, the addictive nature of the social aspect of comedy, and the differences between writing for the stage and for the page.

    Eliot Rahal

    Eliot Rahal is a best-selling writer and creator, most known for MADAM SATAN (Archie Comics), BLEED THEM DRY (Vault Comics), PREDATOR: BLACK, WHITE, AND BLOOD (Marvel Comics), and his original titles HOT LUNCH SPECIAL with Jorge Fornes and KNOCK 'EM DEAD.

    Douglas Widick (North Coast) - It's All About The Relationship
    2025/10/22
    Dan gets the chance to talk with sketch and improv artist Douglas Widick. They talk Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the difference between English and Scottish audiences, the relationship between improv and standup, making sure you “have an act” before you riff, the fun of watching a GOOD bomb, and theatre ghosts! Additionally, the fact that sometimes you're playing for an audience of three or a sold-out crowd, earning a laugh versus cheating one, and more!

    Douglas Widick

    Ben Katzner (Sirus XM) - Record Everything
    2025/10/08
    In this episode, Dan is joined by Minneapolis-based comedian Ben Katzner, and they discuss actively avoiding each other, how you can get stuck in a “pocket” in a larger scene, and the importance of getting out of that comfort zone. In addition, Dan and Ben talk about the plague of vanishing clubs, allowing overconfidence to get in the way of doing a good show, being able to read the room and positioning yourself right with the audience, (once again) picking the right clothes, and the eternity that is 27 minutes of silence and the loneliness that follows. Additionally, the importance of recording everything and making that part of the routine.

    Ben Katzner

    A stand-up comedian and writer, Ben Katzner blends a subversive style, biting observational humor, and skilled storytelling to deliver a one-of-a-kind live show that's equal parts charming, smart, and relatable.

    Katzner regularly opens for comedian Kelsey Cook and has opened for a variety of performers, including Chad Daniels, Josh Johnson, Zainab Johnson, and Kyle Kinane.

    Besides performing in clubs and theaters across the country, Katzner has also participated in numerous comedy festivals, including the Limestone Comedy Festival, 10,000 Laughs Comedy Festival, Let's Fest, the Harlem Comedy Festival, and the Raleigh Comedy Festival. In 2025, Ben will be releasing his debut comedy album via Blonde Medicine's label, along with a coinciding comedy special on YouTube.

    Katzner is also a burgeoning talent in the graphic novel space. His debut graphic novel, "Hello, My Name is Poop," was published by Wonderbound Books in 2021. His second graphic novel, Muddy Waters Too (co-written with legendary rapper Redman), is set to be released in the summer of 2025.

    When he's not on a stage or behind a keyboard, Ben co-hosts the Troll Hole Podcast with comedian Mike Lester. Equal parts playful and painful, during the fast-paced show, the quick-witted duo of Lester and Katzner invite guests to discuss internet trolls, life in the public eye, and much more.
