Ep. 105: Bicameral Pusillanimousity (Ft. Cameron MacKenzie)

My guest is a regular at Loones Comedy Corner in Colorado Springs, co-host of the Beanie Boys Podcast, and the son of a preacher man. He hosts ‘The Camedy Show’ at Lola’s Art Studio. Follow him on Instagram @deckhand420 — Go see him Wednesday, June 5th at Comedy Works for New Faces Round 1!

Cameron has lived in forty (40!) homes so far in his life. He’s only thirty-one! Come on now. This guy moves like the wind — you can’t hope to catch him, grab him, or hold him down — and yet his spirit is a warm spring breeze gracing the meadows & mountains, eagerly bringing together people to laugh & love. In his well-traveled 31 years, he grew up catfishing in southern Virginia, spent time in the city of Detroit, and even lived on a sailboat in Washington. The state, not the district; DC police would not be jazzed to see someone living in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. 

Originally hailing from Canada and still exhibiting the “niceness” our northern friends are famous for, Cam started performing stand-up for punk bands in Colorado Springs while they were setting up for their shows. What a receptive and forgiving audience for someone getting their footing, huh? Yeah, right. 

This episode is full-to-the-brim with fun. I could elaborate on how thrifting is a recession-proof skill, how fascinating it was to hear Cam’s beliefs on the afterlife coming from his upbringing surrounded by the community of church, or just how kindhearted & gracious he is as a person — but just go listen! 

This one is unsevered, unlike Camerons achilles, which required the Dallas Cowboys surgeon to operate. Since we don’t exactly have Cowboys surgeon money, if you want to support the show & get TONS of bonus content, including vaulted episodes & EATIN’ with guests, head to Patreon.com/InTALLerable 

The Tallest of thanks to our supporters who will be enshrined forever in our new studio (That’s right, Top Shelf is moving!) If you want to be enshrined as an O.G. supporter, it’s not too late! All Patreon supporters who join before June 30th, regardless of tier, will be enshrined on an installment in our studio.
