Punchlines, Palms, and a Shot at the Spotlight

What do you get when you mix a stand-up comic who got his start roasting Jeff Ross on Clubhouse, a funeral director with a catalog of human absurdity, and a guy who’s got bathroom codes for every Starbucks on Long Island? You get Dead Serious, Episode 119 - a hilarious, raw, and revealing conversation that sits at the intersection of hustle, humor, and humanity.

In “Punchlines, Palms, and a Shot at the Spotlight,” we dig into the unlikely rise of Joseph Lombardo aka porkchopz - from managing construction projects to managing crowds with killer punchlines. He shares how the pandemic was the best thing that ever happened to him (comedy-wise), what it’s like performing in front of 600 elderly Boca retirees, and why some comedians are funnier in a funeral home than on stage.

Along the way, the crew unpacks Long Island’s legendary roadways, the politics of lettuce on sandwiches, funeral home horror stories, and what it really means to bomb on stage. Whether you’re here for the laughs, the life lessons, or just the hot take on gay marriage stats - this one goes deep and doesn’t let up.
