Podcast
Before You Were Funny is a comedy podcast and former live stage show created and hosted by the comedy writing and performance duo Justin Michael and Jacob Reed, known collectively as Tremendosaur.[1]
The podcast’s central concept involves inviting well-known comedians, comedy writers, and performers to share and perform material they wrote when they were young, typically in high school or when they were first starting their careers.
This early material is often juvenile, poorly written, or intensely embarrassing, providing a humorous contrast to the guests’ current professional success.
The show offers a unique blend of interview and performance, exploring the comedic origins of its guests and celebrating the often-cringeworthy steps required to develop a distinctive comedic voice.[2][3]
The show began as a live stage show at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre (UCB) in Los Angeles, where the concept was developed. The performances were then recorded and released as a podcast. The show quickly gained a following due to the candid nature of the celebrity guests and the relatable humor of reviewing one’s past creative failures.
Episodes have featured a wide range of prominent comedians and writers from the sketch, improv, and stand-up comedy scenes. The podcast was distributed on the Feral Audio podcast network for a significant period of its run. While the live show originated at UCB, the production and distribution as a podcast were handled by Tremendosaur and Feral Audio.
