Potato Chip Jenga and One Very Weird Math Test w/Bobby Baker | Ep 74 | Snackin' & Yakkin'
Charleston comic Bobby Baker joins Big Ben Kennedy for Pizza Flavor Potato Chips, Root Beer, and a conversation that takes plenty of unexpected turns.
Bobby talks about hosting the weekly Monday open mic at Mon, producing his own variety comedy shows, and building a lineup that mixes stand-up, sketch, improv, and live music. He also shares how he got started in comedy, his plans for upcoming shows at City Lights Eastside, and why Charleston has more funny comics than many people realize.
Along the way, the snack talk wanders into cream soda, blue raspberry flavor, gas station road-trip favorites, and the fine art of Potato Chip Jenga. Then the conversation gets delightfully off track with old-school comedy, horror movies, new math, and the question every EMT exam writer should answer carefully: what do you do first when you arrive at a birth scene?
Catch Bobby Baker at a live show, find him on Instagram at: @bobbybakershow and get to know one of Charleston's comics on this episode of Snackin' & Yakkin'.
