TIETOJA TÄSTÄ JAKSOSTA
Billy Anderson is a stand-up comedian who recently joined the Denver stand-up scene, moving from LA by way of Seattle, after years of running shows & crushing crowds in their scene. He is a blue-collar liberal, has an awesome DryBar comedy special, & is the host and creator of — ‘The Gateway Show’ — where comics tell some jokes, get high, and then do more jokes while high.

We discussed Billy’s life growing up in Georgia, the stark class divide in Augusta, and how Billy went from being an honors student in 9th grade to eventually dropping out of high school. Honestly, if 9/11 destroyed my worldview & turned me into a black-pilled nihilistic teenager like it did for Billy..? I can say confidently that I would not have done even a quarter with my life, what Billy has with his.
Nu-Metal, synthetic meats, being raised catholic, how Billy became a veteran of the high-volume call center, and how he left the call-center role in the coolest way possible, after his employer forgot to lock him out of his work email — whoops! I assure you this is an episode you can dig your listening teeth into. Plenty of meat on this bone! Including some “sausage-making” comedy stories featuring names you might know, like younger Hans Kim in the Seattle scene & how Billy built a new format/competition that Hans proceeded to win (as Billy predicted).
Thankful to break bread over smoked meats & great conversation with Billy! I am even more thankful Denver has Billy as a part of our scene.
