🎙️ To Be Frank – Legends, Laughter & the Dark Ages
Frank links up with Comedy Store OG and legendary bartender Toby Evans for an unfiltered, hilarious deep-dive into the chaotic, beautiful madness that was the Comedy Store's dark-to-golden era glow-up. From door guy hazing rituals (yes, 151 shots and puke buckets are involved), to the spiritual mentorship of Jeff Scott, to roast battle bloodbaths and post-wedding groomsmen debauchery—this episode is a full-on love letter to the misfit haven that shaped them.
Toby shares insane stories: Pauly Shore firing him (and forgetting), dicey run-ins with Suge Knight and Katt Williams, bartending during the store's near-death days, and walking in on way too many comics mid-coitus. Frank opens up about what it meant to earn respect, the heartbreak and joy of chasing stage time, and why this job was better than any degree or trophy.
It’s raw, nostalgic, and stupid funny. A must-listen for comedy nerds, ex-door guys, and anyone who’s ever puked in a dustpan while chasing their dream.
