Podcast #213: Tim Finkel Is More Than a Headliner
Tim Finkel ( tim.paul.finkel) finally headlines The Comedy Castle for just one night this week, but what a night it will be. Tim has gone from high school teacher to top-tier comic over the last decade or so, but it’s bittersweet as Tim’s son Ryder faces the fight of his life. Hear Tim’s origin story, how Tim was able to teach a teen comedy class (that Joel could not!), and the balancing act of family and stand-up comedy. Also, hear how the late comedian Norm Stulz and Detroit Lions star Aiden Hutchinson have helped the Finkel family with Ryder’s battle. Please donate at this link (www.gofundme.com/f/ryder-finkels-journey) if you’d like to help, too. Tim’s show is sold out as of now, but check the link below or call the club for availability. Ryan Davis ( ryandaviscomedy) rocks the house Friday and Saturday, too. Tix below!

Podcast #184: Maz Jobrani Is Truly International
Nice video 👍
EVERYBODY was dancing. If they werent,they were wrong. I'm no big fan of Christy but I cant fault him for being a Boss fan and for getting into it at a show. Good for him.
Looks like he's having a good time. Couldn't take my eyes off his waistline. He almost looks cartoonish
Oh is that what he was doing?? That was a fun show. Left Of The Dial will always have special place in my heart.
