The Lou Perez Podcast with Paul Rossi

My friend ⁠Paul Rossi⁠ joins me to talk about the ⁠Terra Firma Teaching Alliance⁠, the impact of A.I. on education, how “objectivity is white supremacy,” and the magic of calculus. Paul was kind enough to make the drive to Ogunquit, Maine to see me open for the ⁠dangerously funny Scott Thompson⁠. (He found out I’m shorter in person.)

Lou Perez is a comedian, producer, and the author of ⁠THAT JOKE ISN'T FUNNY ANYMORE: ON THE DEATH AND REBIRTH OF COMEDY⁠. You may have seen him on ⁠Gutfeld!⁠ , ⁠FOX News Primetime⁠, ⁠One Nation with Brian Kilmeade⁠, and ⁠Open to Debate⁠ (with Michael Ian Black).

Lou was the Head Writer and Producer of the Webby Award-winning comedy channel ⁠We the Internet TV⁠. During his tenure at WTI, Lou made the kind of comedy that gets you put on lists and your words in the Wall Street Journal: “⁠How I Became a ‘Far-Right Radical⁠.’”

As a stand-up comedian, Lou has opened for Rob Schneider, Rich Vos, Jimmy Dore, Dave Smith, and toured the US and Canada with Scott Thompson. Lou has also produced live shows with Colin Quinn, the Icarus Festival, and the Rutherford Comedy Festival.

For years, Lou performed at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater (both in NYC and L.A.) in sketch shows with the Hammerkatz and his comedy duo, Greg and Lou. Greg and Lou is best known for its sketch "Wolverine's Claws Suck," which has over 20 million views on YouTube alone.

In addition to producing sketch comedy like ⁠Comedy Is Murder⁠, performing stand-up across the country, and writing for ⁠The Blaze's Align⁠, Lou is on the advisory board of ⁠Heresy Press⁠, a ⁠FAIR-in-the-arts fellow⁠, and host of the live debate series The Wrong Take and ⁠The Lou Perez Podcast⁠ (which is part of the Lions of Liberty Podcast Network).
How’d Lou start out?

He began doing improv and sketch comedy while an undergrad at New York University, where he was part of the comedy group the Wicked Wicked Hammerkatz.

Lou was a writer for Fox Sports' @TheBuzzer; produced The Attendants with Lorne Michaels’s Broadway Video; produced pilots for FOX Digital and MSN Games; and was a comedy producer on TruTV's Impractical Jokers.
Lou hosted the stand-up show Uncle Lou's Safe Place in Los Angeles, performed at the Big Pine Comedy Festival, Bridgetown Comedy Festival, Punching Up Comedy at Freedom Fest, and co-created the political comedy podcast Unsafe Space.

Lou taught creative writing at the City College of New York, "writing the web series" for Writing Pad, and comedy writing workshops for the Moving Picture Institute.

Lou worked with The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression as Communications Manager and later as a producer and consultant. Their video "⁠Taking a Knee in Sports? For what?⁠" was broadcast during a USC vs. Notre Dame football game and was a SILVER ADDY® WINNER at the American Advertising Awards.

Lou is also a brand ambassador for ⁠XX-XY Athletics⁠.
