How do you describe someone like Barry Katz? An industry wizard? A comedy shaman? One of the tallest Jews in Hollywood? Sure, all of those work. Barry is more than just a manager, he's a former comedian, club owner, producer, showbiz sorcerer and overall stand up guru. He's responsible for launching comedians like Dave Chappelle, Dane Cook, Anthony Clark, Nick Swardson, Tracy Morgan, Nick DiPaolo, Darrell Hammond, Whitney Cummings, Jay Mohr, and Louis CK into super stardom. He's developed over 100 television shows, including Last Comic Standing, NBC's Whitney, and TBS's Frank TV. Sometimes in this crazy business when you're slinging jokes at night, changing diapers in the morning and trying to 'make it' (whatever that really means) feels like a raging ocean that's slamming you against the rocks with ever wave. The wisdom of Barry Katz is a much needed life preserver for every comedian and artist our there. Be sure to rate and comment on iTunes. Also, you can find the show on Stitcher.
