Hey nerds. This week, I chat with Matthew Robinson, Comedian Matthew Robinson, and Andy Rider - and yes, Matthew Robinson and Comedian Matthew Robinson are very different. I get an inside look on what inspired Matthew to create his comedian alter ego (CMR) and a taste of what Andy goes through every Wednesday and Saturday in their Instagram Live show.
Matthew and Andy have each been doing comedy for over 5 years. They both dabbled in improv, which is something I share with them, so we discussed some horror stories from those times. We talk about what inspired each of us to make the move to standup. And we talk about the role truth plays in comedy.
Matthew and Andy had fairly different exposure to religion growing up. Matthew had a borderline non-religious upbringing in Colorado while Andy was fairly well immersed in some of the South's favorites. They clear up some common misconceptions and confusions when it comes to what separates members of the Church of Jesus Christ from Jehova's Witnesses and Scientologists (though the confusion with Scientology came from CMR). We also get a bit into the differences between a cult and a religion.
Enjoy and check out their Instagram Live shows...so much more will make sense when you do.
Find them both on the Gram, Matthew is at @comedyalpha187 and Andy is at @andyrideragain
