    James Stanley | Dangers of the Road
    Feb 14 2024
    Stand-up comedian James Stanley tells us that becoming a comic is its own right of passage - to be a great headliner, you have to have been through all the tests, and by then, you’ve got to have the hour you need.

    He earned his stripes. Most recently, he got stuck in a blizzard between Winona and Minneapolis, and a farm hand had to dig him out: literally!

    With his life saved and his career rolling, he jams with Dan Bublitz Jr about performing in small towns, how/when to work on new stuff, doing political humor, sticking to your stuff in the face of the audience, and several useful merch ideas.

    James Stanley

    James Stanley started his journey in stand up comedy in 2013 when he was 16 years old. Now James works every clubs in Minneapolis and is beginning to tour more and more of the Country. James has opened for and worked with names in the comedy works such as Stavros Halkias, Sean Patton, Nimesh Patel, Dean Edwards, and Geoffrey Asmus. James is also one of the hosts of the ‘This Is Something, Man’ podcast and runs a weekly mic at Laugh Camp Comedy in St. Paul.

    Ralph Anthony (NY Comedy Festival) | Time, Space, and Grace
    Jan 31 2024
    It’s crazy how material works in some places and not others - just ask stand-up comic Ralph Anthony. In his interview with Art of Bombing’s host Dan Bublitz Jr, he recalls his most influential quote from George Carlin:

    “If it works on Thursday and it works on Friday but not on Saturday: it’s the crowd.” What that means to Anthony is: that you can’t be too hard on yourself.

    Ralph tells us that you have to give yourself some time, space, and grace if you want to be successful at any performance art.

    In this episode, you’ll learn the goal of a corporate gig, the balance of material and crowd work, and how every great comic has a system. Ralph Anthony digs deep with Dan on this one to show him EXACTLY how his system works. Give the episode a listen and you may learn how to take your game to the next level. Plus more!

    Ralph Anthony

    Ralph Anthony is a New York City based comedian and writer whose material is primarily derived from his stories and unique observations of the world we live in. A high energy goofball with lots to say, Anthony was deemed “the Mouth” by his childhood friends and hasn’t stopped making people laugh since.
    ​
    He's traveled overseas to Europe where he’s performed at some the top shows and clubs in London and Paris. His credits also include the NY Comedy Festival, World Comedy Expo, the NY Underground Comedy Festival, DC Comedy Festival, NC Comedy Festival, the World Series of Comedy, Sirius XM, ESPN, being a featured headliner for the Bonkerz Comedy Club chain, as well as headlining Caroline’s on Broadway. Most recently, Anthony released his debut comedy album, "40 for 40," which is available on all streaming services.
