  • MORE STAND UP MEMORIES # 27 Glenn Farrington
    Apr 22 2026

    He’s a comedian… a magician… and the guy who helped bring WiFi to the middle of the ocean… this week on More Stand-Up Memories, we welcome Glenn Farrington. Glenn Farrington isn’t just blending comedy and magic on stage—he’s lived a life that feels like a series of plot twists. From performing for live audiences to playing a behind-the-scenes role in helping connect cruise ships to the digital world, his story is anything but ordinary. In this episode, Glenn shares how his journey took him from sleight-of-hand to signal bars at sea—helping make onboard WiFi a reality for cruise lines—while still building a career that keeps audiences laughing and guessing at the same time. It’s a conversation filled with road stories, unexpected turns, and the art of misdirection—on stage and in life. Because sometimes the biggest trick… isn’t the one you see—it’s the one happening behind the curtain. If you like your comedy with a twist—and your stories with a little “how is that even possible?”—this episode delivers.

  • MORE STAND UP MEMORIES #26 DEB D'AMORE
    Apr 15 2026

    There’s something electric about a comic who’s lived a little… and then decided to laugh about it. Episode 26 of Stand-Up Memories brings in the bold, unapologetic, and wildly entertaining Deb D’Amore—a comedian who doesn’t tiptoe around life… she dropkicks it into a punchline. Deb’s story isn’t just about stand-up—it’s about transformation. From real-life experiences that hit hard, to finding her voice on stage and owning every inch of it, she brings that rare mix of grit, honesty, and humor that makes you lean in and laugh a little louder than you expected. Jackie “The Joke Man” Martling and Peter “The Professor” Bales sit down with Deb for a conversation that swings between hilarious, heartfelt, and just the right amount of unfiltered. You’ll hear about her journey into comedy, the moments that shaped her, and what it really takes to step up to the mic and tell the truth—with a twist. It’s raw. It’s real. And it’s really funny. Because sometimes the best comedy doesn’t come from writing jokes… it comes from surviving the story. 🎤

A conversation that moves between laughter and legacy… between punchlines and perspective. Because while comedians preserve moments on stage… Richard preserves the stories that might otherwise be forgotten. It’s still Stand-Up Memories—just zoomed out a bit… from the stage to the world. 👉 If you love great storytelling, surprising conversations, and episodes that hit a little deeper… this one delivers. #StandUpMemories #RichardHurowitz #InTheGardenOfTheRighteous #Storytelling #HistoryMatters #ComedyPodcast #JackieMartling #PeterBales #HumanStories #PodcastEpisode
