#49 | Eric Wielo

Eric Wielo is an LA-based comedian and writer who wrote and appeared on Conan on TBS, and you can currently see on Up & Adam’s on Max, as well as performing regularly at The Milwaukee Improv, as well as headlining and featuring over the country! In this episode, we continue the discussion Jay Light helped to start about spot pay for features and emcees in clubs around America, some of the bad habits that have gone on in the industry even post #MeToo, and our strange story of how we became friends when he helped reopen The World-Famous Hollywood Improv by hosting mics on their patio with names who I promise you will know, as well as the headliners doing their first sets in a year and a half. I get into my brief story of getting to follow Orny Adams on that patio which if you know anything about this business, I don’t know if that’ll ever happen again. We also discuss some of the events and politics of today, and so much more!
