Temporary Hiatus

prettyswellguys@gmail.com (Chris) — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 09:19:22 GMT

\
Chris here. You may have noticed that we haven't posted a new episode (or anything) in a while, and may be wondering what exactly is going on with the Pretty Swell Guys. First, don't worry, we aren't ending the podcast! I just moved to Chicago, and have been pretty busy with the move. Kirk and I will still be hosting the podcast together by doing it over the internet, and nothing will change with how you currently hear the episodes. The show should be back on a regular schedule with in the next month, and we are really going to try and stick with it, along with tons of bonus episodes. There will be a few 'Best Of.." episodes coming up in the next couple weeks to hold you over. Also, we will finally be rolling out our new site design when we relaunch. Just keep checking PrettySwellGuys.com, @PrettySwellGuys on Twitter, or our Facebook page for news!

Thanks,
Chris

About Dave Landau:

Working the road nonstop since his 21st birthday, Dave Landau has grown into a true comedic juggernaut. Finding himself much in-demand among audiences and club owners due to his deadpan demeanor and those jokes — my God, those jokes — that fluidly fly forth with breakneck pacing and perfect timing. Dave, it can be said with all due respect, is a throwback to another era of comedy. The entertaining everyman. Innocent enough at first blush; as he states his case, you begin to see where you and he have quite a bit in common. A wife, a house. An odd sense of calm in an increasingly crazy world. You’re on a tour of the familiar and prosaic, with Dave Landau as the bus driver.

Then he drops his foot on the accelerator. And things start to get wild. You see, Dave Landau might appear to be just like you, but he’s not really. His mind goes to places that angels would fear to tread, and he has no problem telling you about it. The mark of a great comedian, it is said, is the ability to find jokes where others would find tears. Dave find jokes everywhere; with his own foibles and faults, to his family, to pop culture and the state of the world today.

Cutting his comedic teeth as a teenager in Detroit in the Second City’s Conservatory, Dave Landau has risen to become one of the most in-demand headliners working today. He’s appeared on Comedy Central’s “Live At Gotham” as well as being featured prominently on two consecutive seasons of NBC’s “Last Comic Standing.” He’s become a regular on the nationally-syndicated “Bob & Tom” radio show, and was honored as one of the top 21 club comics of today at HBO’s Las Vegas Comedy Festival.

About Matt McClowry:

There’s no one quite like Matt McClowry. An awkward, gentle soul trapped in a hulking physique, Matt has been surprising audiences for nearly a decade, putting a sharp edge to universal topics like family, relationships, and modern life. Having quickly gained a reputation as one of the strongest acts in the Midwest, Matt has performed at the Boston Comedy Festival , Gilda’s LaughFest, The Laughing Skull Comedy Festival, and The Bridgetown Comedy Festival as well as having appeared on Comcast Television and been heard on XM/Sirius radio. Dry and dark like good Merlot, Matt’s comedy is refreshingly honest and brutally funny.

About Shawn Boyd:

Shawn Boyd is a sky-scraping, energy crammed comedian that salutes the room of people that have come to enjoy the un-fabricated gossip that makes our crazy world sane. Shawn’s material encompasses childhood follies, the joys and bounds of fatherhood, the challenges of hounding the “Other Gender”….being single and current delivery of our immediate world. From diaper rashes to “seasoned citizens”, Shawn’s harmless methods show a lot of teeth in the rows from front to back.
