Keith Stubbs knows what it is like to bomb at a club, including his own. He also knows what it’s like to get an audience roaring with laughter and ride the wave until people are holding their sides. Keith owns three comedy clubs, Wiseguys, so he knows his stuff. “Have You Met…” introduces you to the funniest people. Each week you’ll find out what is behind their comedic brilliance, which is sometimes more tragic than funny. Always delightful. Always interesting conversations.
