Dean finally visits the All Things Comedy studios in Hollywood, so it’s only fitting that his guest is part of the All Things Comedy family. Ian Edwards is one of your favorite comedians', favorite comedians. Many comedians are funny, but the list of those garnering the respect of the industry at large and their peers, is small by comparison. Ian Edwards is both. We delve deep into his story, beginning in England, then moving to Jamaica, then BACK to England, before his family migrated to Long Island where Ian discovered his true calling at the suggestion of a customer…in the Burger King drive thru!
Ian shares the logical approach that has always assisted him since his transition from Long Islands nurturing club scene to the stages in Manhattan which prepared him for opportunities writing on shows with Keenen Ivory Wayans & SNL. From open mics in Nassau county with Greg Rogell to walking away from writing gigs on hit television shows “Two Broke Girls” and “Black-ish”, Ian has done it all and lots more in between. After listening, you’ll understand why Conan O’Brien & Team Coco decided to make Ian’s album, "100% HALF-ASSED", the companies debut release. Plus we get a look into the two Edwards’ long friendship which began when Ian was performing on a show at Dean’s college that Dean hosted. Ian also shares the importance of going with your gut instincts, avoiding the “nice trap” & not asking “HOW MUCH DOES THIS PAY” too soon. Pure HILARITY! We Most Definitely are IN THE BUILDING!
