    051 Who Wants to Laugh Podcast – Dobie Maxwell



    Host: John Lane







    Time: 0:59:15



    WE ARE ON FACEBOOK! Be sure to like us on there!



    ANNOUNCING CHANGES!



    The show will be continuing at a once a month release rate, but will focus more on issues relating to comedy and other aspects of entertainment as John has started to venture into stand-up comedy.



    My guest this month is stand-up comedian Dobie Maxwell. I got to know Dobie through his popular Facebook group for stand-up comedians called "'The Maxwell Method' of Standup Comedy" which has amassed over 4,000 members. Dobie is based out of Kenosha Wisconsin and has been doing comedy since 1985. He has worked with legendary comedians like Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Robin Williams, Andrew "Dice" Clay, Jay Leno, Richard Pryor, etc. His experience has been used not only on stage, but also in the classroom as he's taught over 2,000 students what he's learned in his 30+ years in comedy. Whether Dobie's students have continued in comedy or not, they've been able to use what they've learned in their everyday lives as well.



    We talk about starting in stand-up comedy, failing, different types of stand-up comedy, political correctness, and much much more!



     



    I had the extreme pleasure of interviewing Dobie on 8/15/19.
