Like two jilted lovers, Eric Rosenblum and Jon Levine rant and rave on this week’s edition of the Coming Up Short podcast. The scheduled guest cancelled on the show just two hours before we were set to record and that was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Cancellations have happened to Coming Up Short before but, thankfully, not too often. However, it was today’s cancellation which seemed like a good opportunity for Jon and Eric to discuss not only how important it is to keep your commitments from a professional standpoint, but how not doing so can negatively impact your comedy career in a serious way.

The two discuss the circumstances under which they each received their first booked gigs and, spoiler alert, it wasn’t by not working hard.

There’s even a secret guest in the Chula Vista Studios this week, but she’s more like a silent partner. It’s a fun show all around so check it out!

Another week, another episode of the Coming Up Short podcast! Eric Rosenblum and Jon Levine welcome a very special guest into the Chula Vista Studios for Coming Up Short #70, Jillian Chiapponne. Jillian tells us about her long journey from Buffalo, New York down to South Florida and then on to Los Angeles for a career that’s included modeling, acting, and now standup comedy.

Jillian spent nights in LA learning from the greats at places like the Comedy Store and the Improv and has taken those lessons and applied them to her own career. The three also talk about how hard it is to find work here in South Florida, especially during the summer, autonomous driving vehicles, and even a little Donald Trump.

Eric Rosenblum and Jon Levine are going hardcore for this week’s episode of the Coming Up Short podcast. This week the pair welcomes into the studio the man know as Cycle Michael, Mr. Mike Panzeca. Mike, who’s about to embark on an East Coast comedy road trip that’ll culminate at the Laconia Motorcycle Week Rally in Laconia, New Hampshire, stops by to talk about that, and a bunch of other things, with the guys.

The topics discussed on the podcast range from Mike’s start as a cruise-ship comedian, to his current stint as the comedy teacher at the Fort Lauderdale Improv’s comedy class. Mike also tells why he wants to go see Niagara Falls from the Canadian side, but might not be allowed in the country. You don’t want to miss that story!
