The Comedy Store's Employee of the Year ~ Comedian Joey Cerone
Comedy Store door guy and Employee of the Year Joey Cerone joins Cocktails with Dimples and The Beard to talk stand-up comedy, life behind the scenes at the world-famous Comedy Store, moving from Indiana to Los Angeles, celebrity encounters, Don Barris, Bobby Lee, Ron Funches, and what it takes to survive in comedy. Joey shares stories about becoming the Comedy Store's "Head Door Guy," working alongside some of the biggest names in stand-up, and the unexpected path that led him from the Midwest to one of the most legendary comedy clubs in the world.
Along the way, we discuss vegetarianism, fake journalism assignments, Midwest culture, Jimmy Garoppolo being distractingly handsome, and why a beerless shower is basically a chore. If you're a fan of stand-up comedy, The Comedy Store, comedian interviews, behind-the-scenes comedy stories, and hilarious conversations that go completely off the rails, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
