More Stand Up Memories 31 Coach Tom Whitely

This week on More Stand-Up Memories, Jackie “The Joke Man” Martling and Peter Bales welcome the one and only Coach Tom Whiteley — a high-energy comic whose larger-than-life personality has been cracking up audiences for decades. Known simply as “The Coach,” Tom brings his unique blend of sports, teaching, and old-school stand-up chaos to the show, sharing stories from the comedy circuit, unforgettable gigs, and the madness behind his legendary stage persona. From performing at iconic clubs like Dangerfield’s, Foxwoods, and The Borgata to appearing on ESPN, Coach Tom has built a career on turning everyday life into a full-contact comedy experience. Expect hilarious behind-the-scenes stories, comedy war tales, quick-witted banter, and the kind of unpredictable moments that make More Stand-Up Memories feel like hanging out backstage at a comedy club after hours. If you love classic stand-up energy, comedians who truly lived the road life, and conversations that spiral from heartfelt to completely unhinged in seconds… this episode delivers.

“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.
