Neeraj in Chicago!
This week, Andy sits down with Neeraj Srinivasan, a first-generation Indian-American comedian from Boise, now based in Chicago. Burt he lives in Edgewater, north AF! lol
Neeraj’s sharp wit and love for indie rock come together in a hilarious, no-holds-barred conversation about comedy, identity, and why being single might actually be the move.
The two dive into the Chicago comedy scene, road gigs gone wrong, and what it’s like navigating the stand-up world .
Expect laughs, some chaos, and maybe a few moments of accidental wisdom.

009 - Tim Davies
In this episode, I sit down with comedian and music aficionado Tim Davies to talk about the essential (and questionable) soundtracks to getting it on, the weird world of modern dating, and how comedy and indie rock have more in common than you’d think. We swap stories, share some hot takes, and maybe even ruin a few classic songs for you.
Tune in for laughs, deep dives, and possibly some new additions (or subtractions) to your playlist. 🎸😂🎙️
