Stu Melton & Jake Fromm
Successful comedians often give the advice, “Keep your head down, work hard, and you’ll figure it out.” Stu Melton and Jake Fromm ask them to go deeper and explain how they do what they do best. Each guest shares stories and advice on the things they excel at, like podcasting, writing for television, and producing their own comedy shows. Recorded over the span of six-seven months, Season 1 tracks Stu and Jake’s attempt to improve their own comedy skills while learning from the pros.
1.13 I Just Happen To Love Standup: Late Night TV with Brendan Eyre
Oh boy! It’s the last episode of Season 1! In this barn-burner of an ep, comedian Brendan Eyre breaks down everything that goes into a great standup set on a late night show, from the microphone choices at 30 Rock to the realities of a comic's life and career after TV. At the end of the episode, Jake and Stu discuss what they’ve learned over the course of Season 1, and Stu finally decides whether or not he’s gonna start asking for spots! Thanks for listening to Green Season 1, and stick around for a totally fresh Season 2!

1.12 Comedy Is a Business: Working on the Road with Shane Torres
After starting out in Portland, it wasn't long before Shane Torres was taken out by a more experienced comedian to be shown the ropes of working the road. Further success as a New Face at Montreal JFL Festival, moving to New York City, and eventually landing his own Comedy Central Half Hour has only helped Shane's career on the road, as he spends a major chunk of the year working outside of town at comedy clubs across the country. To Jake and Stu, Shane oozes wisdom about how to treat comedy as a profession and a business, rather than something you "just do."

1.10 Laughter Is Crazy: When to Move to NYC/LA with Mike Lebovitz
Comedian Mike Lebovitz landed Montreal Just For Laughs New Faces and Last Comic Standing appearances from his hometown of Chicago, Illinois. But, after tasting those successes, he set his sights on New York City in the hopes of becoming "the funniest person on the planet." Many comedians start in smaller markets and find themselves asking, "When should I move to New York or L.A.? Should I even move at all?" Mike shares the reasons behind his move as well as some beliefs regarding what a comedian's job is truly about.
