COMEDY SIMP: Episode 020 Welcome back to Comedy Simp! In Episode 20, your host, Seattle comedian Stephen Michael James, sits down with the hilarious returning guest, Big Time Mel. Get ready for a rollercoaster of laughs as Stephen and Mel reminisce about her upbringing in Chicago, sharing stories of summer days spent at the beach, trips to Six Flags, and all the unique Midwest experiences that shaped her comedy! In this episode, they dive into Mel's unmistakable Chicago accent, her battle with motion sickness, and even a nostalgic tale about Marine World in California. But the fun takes a wild turn when they are interrupted by an unexpected guest—a drunken bar patron and self-proclaimed comedian, Boris, who happens to be a Russian immigrant! Boris shares his take on comedy in Russia and hilariously roasts legends like Jerry Seinfeld and George Carlin, all while professing his love for Alec Baldwin. As Mel’s annoyance visibly grows, you won't want to miss how this unexpected interruption unfolds! Once Boris stumbles off, the conversation resumes with Stephen asking Mel about her experience as a woman in comedy, her unique comedic style, favorite open mics, and the intriguing reason why she hasn't hit up the big comedy clubs just yet. Plus, you'll hear all about her family's ties to the mafia—yes, you read that right!
