Episode 180 - Craig Baldo
Manage episode 450068500 series 3297027
On part 2 of this week's podcast we are joined by Humorist, Craig Baldo. Craig has been making people laugh for as long as he can remember. Stand up comedy, warming up audiences for Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, John Oliver and Jimmy Fallon, writing ad campaigns for Nike, Dos Equis, Wendy's and many others and he has collaborated with New Yorker cartoonists.
We discuss humor, creativity, existential dread and the bar scene at the University of Delaware (circa 1990). The Two cartoonists Craig worked with were Harry Bliss and Corey Randolph. He's currently looking for another cartoonist to work with, so if you're interested, contact him through his website:

Finalists for contest #920 (I'll be your emcee tonight).
