| 1/26/26 |  Cocaine, Clubs, and Comedy History: Ritch Shydner Spills the Funniest Secrets | If you've ever wondered how comedy evolved from Civil War lecture halls to cocaine-fueled comedy clubs, Ritch Shydner has the stories and the scars to prove it. The veteran comic, author, and self-proclaimed comedy historian returns to deliver a hilarious masterclass on stand-up's messy, magical past. From his nights sharing stages (and substances) with legends like Sam Kinison to the moment Robin Williams "borrowed" one of his jokes, Ritch paints a picture of the art form's wild evolution. He also drops mind-blowing facts about the origins of stand-up, like how a guy named Artemus Ward made Abraham Lincoln laugh through the Civil War, while weaving in his own road-warrior adventures from the 1980s boom. It's a funny, fast, and surprisingly educational trip through laughter itself. Show Highlights: Ritch reveals how Robin Williams once did one of his jokes on SNL — and tried to pay him for it. The 1980s comedy scene: when cocaine, chaos, and creativity all shared the same dressing room. How a 19th-century comic helped Abraham Lincoln survive the stress of war — with punchlines. Sam Kinison's early days: from college bombings to HBO breakout fame (and a drug deal or two). The secret link between vaudeville, radio, and today's stand-up podcasts. What Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, and today's comics all have in common, total fearlessness. The moment Ritch had to perform right after John Lennon's death — and how one comic ruined it.
