Ep 335 Rob Pierce "I Don't Like Attention"
Rob Pierce joins us in the Acement tonight. Rob is a comic that doesn't like attention. He tried comedy to say he could do it and has been doing it over a decade. Working at a comedy club, Rob experiences comedy from both sides of the stage. It was an interesting conversation to contrast the two. Does Rob have a funny bad gig, of course he does.

Customer Reviews
The Wrong Richard Belzer by Paul Elwell
Congratulations to the Behind The Funny guys. Heard about your podcast and loved listening to my old friend Paul Elwell share stories including picking up the wrong Richard Belzer. Brendan McMahon
Belly Laughs and Bourbon
So happy I discovered this podcast! Love hearing comedians “talk shop” about how they began in stand up, the highs, the lows and all the hijinks in between. Scott and Ace do a great job of keeping it conversational and fun, plus their guests are a great assortment of seasoned and new local comedy talent which provides diverse perspectives on being a working comic. A fun, weekly listen and I’ve even learned a bit about bourbon thanks to their bourbon dates!
Simply great content!
Love listening to these two. Always great conversations and stories! If you want to just laugh out loud in your car, just put this on and listen!
