Not Quite Famous - S2 - Ep. 17 - Thai Rivera & Chris Storin Episode 17 - Thai Rivera & Chris Storin It's Season 2, episode 17 of Not Quite Famous! On this Episode Greg (@GregAsdourian) sits down with two of his funniest friends Thai Rivera (@ThaiRivera) & Chris Storin (@chrisStorin)! They have an amazingly fun and candid conversation that feels more like a hangout than an interview. Both of these guys are some of the hardest working comedians out there, having both worked with some of the biggest acts in the business right now as well as headlining for their own growing audiences. The three of them talk friendship within the industry, what they were like as "baby-comedians" & how to avoid getting pigeonholed into a specific archetype in entertainment. Both of them will be all over the US this summer, make sure you see them both live! Also, this Saturday (7/16) Greg will be at The Lucky penny Performing Arts Center in Napa CA, with the very funny Larry 'Bubbles' Brown & Johnny Steele! That is going to be an amazing show and all of you in the Bay Area should come see those three amazing acts. Now enjoy episode 17 of Not Quite Famous!

Not Quite Famous - S2 - Ep. 16 - Kevin Avery 06/30/2016

Not Quite Famous - S2 - Ep. 16 - Kevin Avery Season 2 continues with Episode 16 featuring a great interview with Greg (@GregAsdourian) and Emmy nominated writer & comedian Kevin Avery (@KevinAvery)! Kevin is an amazing comedian and one of the funniest voices out of the San Francisco Bay in a long time. He was a writer on the hilarious Totally Biased with Kamau Bell on FX & currently writes Last Week Tonight w/ John Oliver on HBO. He and Greg have a very fascinating discussion about what race can mean to audiences and the expectations that creates for comics like Kevin in the industry as a whole. Greg also takes a more solemn moment to express his feelings on the Orlando Tragedy, and asks that any fans who want to buy his albums this month, instead donate to one of the many LBGTQ organizations helping victims and their families.

Not Quite Famous - S2 - Ep. 15 - Brian Scolaro 06/22/2016

Not Quite Famous - S2 - Ep. 15 - Brian Scolaro JUST AS IT WAS PROPHESIED, WE HAVE RETURNED FROM THE CLOUD(S)! We're back! Season 2! FINALLY! After a year-long hiatus due to our hosts personal life (don't ask). This week Greg (@GregAsdourian) sits down with his friend and hilarious comic Brian Scolaro (@BRIAN_SCOLARO)! Brian has been a staple of the comedy world for 20 years. He is one of the hardest working comics & actors in the business. He has a truly unique fingerprint he has left on pop culture. He's been on everything, from the Disney Channel to Comedy Central, from Madmen & Dexter to CONAN, Castle, Bones, and the list goes on. Brian & Greg have an amazing conversation about the industry, and what its like trying to work in entertainment as a larger gentleman, and avoid being a "minstrel"-esque character. Now this was recorded before the hiatus but the interview is still poignant and incredibly thoughtful. If you are listening to this on the day it goes out, come see Brian live at Masses in Walnut Creek CA tonight. Or see him Thursday-Saturday at the Sacramento Punchline! Greg also has a ton of new dates up on his website, please check them out. And enjoy the return of Not Quite Famous!

Not Quite Famous - Ep. 14 - Johnny Steele 04/09/2015

Not Quite Famous - Ep. 14 - Johnny Steele THE EPIC 2ND COMING!!! We're back! After another unexpected hiatus due to our intrepid hosts comedy schedule. This week Greg (@GregAsdourian) sits down with Bay Area comedy Legend Johnny Steele (@SteeleTweets)! Johnny is a staple of the historic Bay Area comedy scene. The two dive deep into what made the comedy landscape in the 80's and 90's what it was in San Francisco. The two also discuss their opposing fealings about growing up in Pittsburg CA. They discuss how comedy has changed and what it takes to still be a viable working act in todays comedy scene. This all leads into Johnny's new documentary '3 Still Standing': "It’s 1980 in San Francisco. Comic geniuses Robin Williams and Dana Carvey spearhead a new era of stand-up comedy. Next in line for the “big time” are three talented comics: Will Durst, Larry “Bubbles” Brown and Johnny Steele. But then, the comedy “crash” hits. Now, like millions of other downsized Americans, they scramble to survive, while also staying funny, relevant, and true to the art form they love." The Doc will be screening at the California Theater in Pittsburg CA on April 18th, followed by a live show. Get tickets at www.3stillstanding.com.
