About this listen

What could be more pointless than ANOTHER Podcast? How about one that's focused on the grating and tediously over-populated world of streaming stand-up comedy 'specials'? Can we sweeten the pot by making the hosts two old gits whose love of comedy and social relevance have long since faded to nothingness? If that sounds like just the thing you're looking for then boy do we have 30-40 minutes of your listening time to waste that you'll never get back! Hosts are Bill and Mark and tech production and artistic direction is by Christian. We'll only publish full names when we hit 10K subscriptions and start to monetize.© 2025 Art Performing Arts Stand-up Shows

  • Review: Beautiful Dogs, Shane Gillis
    Feb 18 2026

    Our longest ever episode (collective groan) discussing alumin(i)um, the Superbowl, deodorant and a vast array of other interesting subjects while also passing judgement on the Shane Gillis 2023 special Beautiful Dogs. The special is available on Netflix for the wealthy among us: Beautiful Dogs You should watch it before listening to the review.

    Theme music: El Cha Cha Man by Juanitos. Juanitos, led by Juan Naveira, is the single French rock'n'roll and soul band mixing latin soul, exotica, acid jazz, punk, vocal pop and sometimes reggae roots in the Jackie Mittoo style. They are very good.
