Bonus Episode 003 – Patrick Holbert

Author: Jeff McBride & Harrison Tweed January 26, 2017 Duration: 1:00:35
This is a bonus episode, which means it was recorded before Harrison Tweed become the permanent co-host and while Jeff was still figuring out this podcasting jazz. Patrick Holbert is the most charming man alive; and as such, he can get away with some risqué material! He's a stand up comedian who can be seen all around NYC. He has performed on Sirius XM and hosts the internationally syndicated TV show “The Movie Loft.” In 2016, he appeared on TruTV’s “Hack My Life”. Jeff McBride and Sandip Sen host this episode, and they have a blast diving into Patrick's bit about how he is keenly aware of his desire for attention and how he can relate it to a very taboo subject...but no spoilers. You just have to hear it for yourself. Featured bits in this episode: - Bill Burr - The Most Difficult Job On The Planet (Let It Go, 2010) - Mark Normand – PC Culture (Conan, 05/13/2016) - Sandip Sen - ADD - Patrick Holbert - Motorcycle Vanity Special thanks to Bill Burr, Mark Normand, and (as always) Salt 'N Peppa for all of our wildly fair use. And the dates of the plugs are for 2016 since this episode was gathering dust before the official podcast launch. Lastly, you can check out Patrick Holbert's numerous projects at his website, www.patrickholbert.com. And have a listen to his podcast, "The Comic's Table".

Ever wonder what really happens in the green room or how a joke evolves from a scribble on a napkin to a roaring crowd? That’s the territory Let's Talk About Sets! explores. Hosted by New York City comedians Jeff McBride and Harrison Tweed, this podcast feels more like a late-night conversation after a show than a formal lecture. They peel back the curtain on the so-called "science" behind stand-up, treating the craft with both reverence and a healthy dose of playful skepticism. Each episode digs into the mechanics of writing, the psychology of performing, and the sheer unpredictability of live comedy. You’ll hear from fellow comics in candid interviews that are less about grand career stories and more about the specific, often messy, details of building a set. It’s an education in comedy, but one filled with laughter, failed punchlines, and genuine curiosity. Whether you're an aspiring performer or just someone who loves to understand how the magic is made, this podcast offers a unique, insider’s view of the work that goes into making people laugh. Tune in for a mix of shop talk, personal stories, and practical insights, all delivered with the easy rapport of two friends who live and breathe this world.
