June. 8th was Oakland Filmmaker and comrade Josh Healey’s 40th Birthday (another ‘84 baby). He had a roast in his living room that brought The Ruckus. I went up first, and roasted him as the first act, just as I did as the first toaster at his wedding in 2011.
After 40 years of life and 20 years of marriage, I celebrate Brother Healey, my Josh from another Jewish Mother. I recorded the living room set I did for 20 of his closest, but the laughter was so loud and the crowd was so rowdy the audio was unusable (had to be there). The next night I did a round 2, in my Oakland Hills Living Room, the material I didn’t get to do for his roast. Check out my homage to him, which has inspired a return to the stand-up stage.
PS- Josh just put out a podcast with another frequent guest of this show, Sammy Obeid, you can find their newest work here:
