Hosts, Colton Dowling and Dylan Carlino bring the world of SOME OF THIS IS BAD, a comedy podcast, to the stage. This is not two people sitting and talking, this is a chaotic tornado of segments, shit talking, and some bullying too…probably.  Just two gay guys that have a weekly guest that they bring on the podcast to bully to the point of reverting back to middle school and ask them the infamous question “if you were gay, which one of us would you rather sleep with?”

Enjoy comedy the way it's intended. No holds barred, no punches pulled, and no f**ks given. Watch seasoned pros and future stars battle each other for supremacy. Good sets will be awarded, bad sets will be punished. Feelings will be hurt, fun will be had.

Comedy is at its best when it isn't scared to tell the truth. So let's stop pretending that the world is nice and fair, and help us celebrate each other by pointing out our differences and similarities that make us all amazing and utterly stupid.

Thick Skin may not be for everybody, but everyone should see it!
