I’m interviewing Michigans own, Bill Bushart! Bill talks about his start in comedy, how his wife will tell it like it is , and how he got the sweet job of booking shows for Mark Ridley. Listen to what Bill thinks is off limits in comedy and his recent pet peeve. If you thought you knew Bill Bushart, think again!

It’s amazing how two funny comedian friends can have such different styles to  their comedy.  Ryan Brown and Jacob Russell are hilarious , hard working comedians and are both favorites in the Michigan comedy scene.

Mary Rice is a beautiful 97 year old Women whose family came from Ireland to Dearborn MI raising her 7 children in Livonia MI. Mary is an educated woman who has a special gift for teaching, writing poetry and making life long friends. She  shares  with us her motto, "I have never met an ordinary person" and tells us its meaning. I believe her outlook is  a big reason she is still happy and beloved at the age of 97. I am  joined by my comedian friends Ned Rice (Marys son) and Chris Barrett.  I hope you enjoy the show! We loved it!

This Man LOVES his audience like know other comedian I’ve ever met. Which I believe is a huge reason he is so loved and respected by his fans and fellow comedians.
