Wayne Federman, long respected comedian and, now, professor along with Andrew Steven are back with season 2 of their wonderfully informative History of Standup podcast.

This season is getting into the niche specifics of various comedy scenes and venues that were hotbeds for stand-up at a given time. Such places that will be covered include SF’s Holy City Zoo, the Chitlin’ Circuit, Nerdmelt, and more. It’s incredibly well-researched with many of the comedians that came up in said scenes and times speaking on what those clubs, theaters, bars, etc. meant to them when getting their sea legs in stand-up.

Season 2 just premiered today with an episode focused on the Holy City Zoo and San Francisco’s amazing stand-up scene from the 80s and 90s.

Sound cool? Cool. Get into the History of Standup right now right here.

Few are as equipped as Wayne Federman to discuss the history of comedy, especially stand-up, as Wayne is not only meticulously studied on the topic and a current professor of stand-up at the University of Southern California, but he has been a very funny, ever-evolving comedian for many decades.

His and Andrew Steven’s podcast mini-series The History of Standup on Podglomerate thus is a handy guide through how stand-up has developed rapidly as an art form even though it’s much younger than most other art forms, especially of the live variety.

Wayne and Andrew will be doing a special live ep. of The History of Standup with a TBA special guest at Dynasty Typewriter at Hayworth Theater next Sunday, Nov. 18th at 2PM.

Fans, nerds, and even those just merely curious of stand-up comedy might want to get into this. Tickets are $15 and you can go get them here.
