VDC #233 Mike Dambra

Nick von Wackerbarth Episode 233

I haven’t been this excited to have a guest on in a long time! Mike Dambra is one of the funniest people alive and has been plying his craft onstage for almost 40 years. On top of that he’s one of the best guys I’ve met in the industry and after seeing everything you possibly can in comedy he is a wealth of information and I knew our conversation would be epic. But I was completely unprepared for just how wild his story is and after hours of talking I know we could have sat down the next day and ran it back with all new stories. My favourite part about Dambra is how he has worked for decades to build an amazing life for himself and because of that he’s completely untethered by the business and politics of comedy. This guy truly don’t give a F**K and it is AWESOME! He says what he thinks and it’s such a breath of fresh air in an industry rife with saying the right thing and kissing the right asses. In so many ways Mike is an example of exactly what people should be aiming for in their comedy careers and I personally look up to and appreciate him on a very deep level. It was an honour to have him on and I’m sure he will be back on again so give it a listen and let us know what you think! 

Also go follow him on Instagram @gracesfunnydad and catch him on a show near you! He’s one of the hardest working comics around so you won’t have to wait long to see him and you will never regret going to a Mike Dambra show!
