• 419: Troy Walker and Esquire
    Feb 20 2026

    Troy Walker! Comedian! Writer! Friend! Delight! More!

    Troy's debut comedy album "Esquire" is out today!

    About the album:

    Troy Walker and Blonde Medicine are pleased to announce the release of Esquire, Troy's debut comedy album recorded at Comedy Works Denver. Esquire is available everywhere comedy is streamed or downloaded.

    With nearly 20 years of stand-up to pull from, Troy has compiled his favorite bits into his upcoming debut album. On it, Troy tackles racist magicians and porn plotlines, old-school drink names and dating rules, and culture shock in Paris. He uses anecdotes, accents and honesty to build an album that tells the story of growing up in Denver (the land of legal everything) and moving to Los Angeles (the land of mandatory therapy).

    About Troy Walker:

    While he currently makes his home in Los Angeles, Troy originally hails from Denver, where he has won Comedy Works' "New Faces" contest twice and is also a licensed attorney graduating from University of Denver's Sturm College of Law. After making his network TV debut on The Late Late Show, Troy Walker has steadily racked up credits including VICE's Flophouse, Comedy Central's Corporate and Fuse's Uproarious. Troy was selected as one the Just for Laughs Montréal's prestigious "New Faces", in addition to appearing at numerous other national comedy festivals. He is currently a writer for Jimmy Kimmel Live! and wrote for both the 95th and 96th Oscars!

  • 412: Dan Perlman and Being Bublé
    Dec 23 2025

    Dan Perlman! Comedian! Writer! Director! Actor! Filmmaker! Friend! Delight! More!

    FROM DAN'S WEBSITE:

    Dan Perlman is a comedian, writer, and director from New York City. He co-created, wrote, and starred in Showtime's critically-acclaimed comedy series, Flatbush Misdemeanors. The series' lauded two-season run holds a 100% Rating on Rotten Tomatoes, earning unanimous praise from outlets including The New York Times, Variety, Roger Ebert, TIME, and The Guardian.

    Dan made his directorial debut in the Flatbush episode, "boomerang," which Vulture praised for its "masterful direction." He wrote and directed the award-winning short films, Cramming and Practice Space. Most recently, Dan directed and starred in the documentary short Being Bublé.

    Dan first co-created Flatbush as a zero-budget digital series, which became Oscar-qualified after winning Grand Jury Awards in its film festival run—laying the groundwork for the Showtime adaptation. Previously, Dan co-created and wrote the animated pilot That's My Bus!, then ordered by FOX.

    As a stand-up, Dan has been featured on Comedy Central, named one of the New Faces at the prestigious Montreal Just For Laughs Festival, worked as a regular at The Comedy Cellar in NYC, and headlined venues nationwide, including The Kennedy Center in DC. Dan's debut album, Emergency Contact, is a staple on SiriusXM, where he's also been a longtime regular guest on Bennington. His writing has also appeared in The New Yorker.
