Episode 20: Howard Hughes Vs. The World
| Download | Duration: 01:23:27
Today we share with you our interview of Howard Hughes. Howard runs Stand-Up Scottsdale, a comedy venue that, in less than two years, has grown from a side room at a rock & roll club to a side room at a hotel restaurant into the current incarnation, a free-standing comedy club boasting a small-stage lounge for local open mics and a large main room with two bars and 170 seats!
Howard Hughes tends to be a bit of a lightning rod on the local comedy scene, as free with his opinions as he is. In this interview, you'll hear opinions as layered as a spring mix salad with dried cranberries, gorgonzola cheese crumbles, and candied pine nuts on topics ranging from educating audiences on comedy, the importance of integrity of material, Phoenix comedy clubs, and humor in Mexico City. Yeah, Mexico City.
Upcoming shows for us: Both Sanderson and Marek will be at the Hidden House on 11/23.
There is no show this Thursday at Monkey Pants due to Thanksgiving. Monkey Pants will still be open, however, in case you need a bacon wrapped deep fried hot dog smothered in nacho cheese to top off all that turkey drowning in a puddle of semidigested mashed potatoes with thick magenta veins of jellied cranberry sauce. Just in case. You can never have your bases too covered.

I thought you guys captured the Howard Hughes I've come to know. Though I don't always agree with him I respect his opinions and his point of view. He was instrumental in helping me with my new material and breaking out of my character. If it wasn't for his input and encouragement I would have not had the courage to do my new stuff.

He says "You eat what you kill" at Stand Up Scottsdale but completely ignores the fact that you might not be ready to hunt right out the gate....
