This week on More Stand-Up Memories, Jackie “The Joke Man” Martling and Peter “The Professor” Bales welcome Teddy Coluca — a true New York performer whose journey runs from stand-up comedy to a long, steady career in film and television. You’ve seen him in everything from The Blacklist to Only Murders in the Building, but before all that, he was out there grinding as a comic, learning the business the hard way. Teddy brings stories from both sides of the stage — what it takes to survive in comedy, what changes when you cross into acting, and what never really leaves you once you’ve been a comic. It’s honest, it’s funny, and it’s the kind of conversation you only get from someone who’s lived it.
“Stand-Up Memories” is a podcast featuring former head writer and cast member of the Howard Stern show Jackie Martling and fellow comedian, friend and history professor Peter Bales bridging the worlds of comedy, history and wherever else they land. They share hilariously heartfelt (and sometimes raunchy) stories from their decades of stand-up comedy and unique lives, diving deep into their experiences in very varied locales and with extremely eclectic characters, all resulting in their being as wise and messed up .. and funny .. as they are today. This is a Tiedin Studios exclusive.
