Vinnie's The Proving Ground Podcast

Ian Bagg is the first name in this sentence, and chances are it will be the last. Ian started comedy in a small country off the coast of Japan called Canada. He proceeded to do all the show business things that every successful Canadian entertainer does. He went to a “Hockey Night in Canada” game on a Saturday night performed at the “Montreal Comedy Festival,” kissed a fish in New Foundland and did a “Comedy Now” special on CTV.  So what does a Canadian do when he has done all? He stops by the Stress Factory Comedy Club to tell Vinnie Brand all about it.

Chris Roach standing 6’6” tall Chris is bringing comedy to new heights. His self deprecating humor and mannerisms make this gentle giant stand out from the rest (or at least taller than the rest). Chris brings you into his world talking about everything from his family to some of his unusual life experiences.

Listen in as these two hysterical comics join in to double team Vinnie on this weeks Proving Ground podcast.

Celebrating 15 years as a stand-up comic, Bob Marley is one of the hottest and most sought-after comedians in the country. He has been featured in his own special on Comedy Central, and is one of the few comics to do the complete late-night TV circuit.

Marley, a Maine native and University of Maine at Farmington graduate, uses biographical and observational material for his high-energy routines.

Listen in as Vinnie and Bob trade stories and have a great time in this weeks episode of The Proving Ground.
