California Über Alles w/ Scott Coburn
COMEDY SIMP: Episode 011
In this episode, host Stephen Michael James brings you an engaging conversation from outside the Whiskey Mile in Kirkland, Washington… just before Sam’s Open Mic, the go-to Thursday night spot for Seattle’s comedy scene. Stephen sits down with fellow comedian Scott Coburn for a lively and heartfelt discussion.
Stephen and Scott dive into their comedy origins, having started their comedic journeys around the same time. They explore the generational differences between Scott’s formative years in 1970s New England and Stephen’s experiences, shedding light on the unique cultural landscapes that shaped them. Scott reminisces about his early days, from being a part of the burgeoning punk scene to becoming sober just six months after his first child was born.
As the conversation unfolds, Scott opens up about raising his kids and supporting his wife in San Diego before their move to Washington state in 2005. The duo also tackles contemporary topics such as the use of legal drugs like Kratom.
A major highlight of their discussion centers on their comedic influences. Stephen and Scott delve into the profound impact of comedy legends such as George Carlin, known for his sharp wit and unapologetic social commentary; Richard Pryor, whose raw and authentic storytelling broke barriers and set new standards in comedy; and Dave Attell, celebrated for his edgy humor and masterful observational comedy. They reflect on how these icons shaped their comedic styles and fueled their passion for stand-up, sharing anecdotes and insights into what makes these legends timeless.
Throughout the episode, there’s a funny running joke where the guys constantly give “shout outs” to other comedians, adding a playful and lighthearted touch to their conversation.
In a particularly poignant segment, Stephen and Scott discuss their personal battles with depression and mental health, providing a candid look at the challenges they’ve faced. They also share touching stories about their experiences as fathers, offering a blend of humor and heartfelt insights.
Adding to the dynamic of the episode, Scott’s wife, a passionate advocate for local comedy, joins the conversation towards the end. Her presence brings a fresh perspective and enriches the dialogue with her support and involvement in the comedy community.
Tune in for an episode filled with humor, nostalgia, and genuine moments, as Stephen and Scott share their lives, laughs, and lessons on “Comedy Simp.”
