Stand-up comedian Luke Mones, along with many others in his profession, is constantly asked by outsiders what it’s like to work and fellowship with some of the genre’s biggest names on a nightly basis.
Instead of answering each request one by one, Mones has decided to answer the masses in the form of his podcast titled Luke Mones Explained
Luke Mones: Luke Mones is a New York based comedian, writer, and actor. Luke wrote and starred in the Comedy Central digital series Genies. In 2019 he was named an Up Next comedian by Comedy Central. He currently hosts a comedy news show for Inside Edition called The Breakdown. Luke has written material and made videos for the Howard Stern Show, and is frequently featured in videos on Funny Or Die and CollegeHumor. Luke has performed in festivals like Clusterfest, the New York Comedy Festival and the Laughing Devil Festival, where he won 1st Place. He has also performed at dozens of colleges around the country and headlined Carolines Comedy Club as part of their “Breakout Artist” series. Luke’s short “Early Decision” screened at the Cannes Film Festival, and his work has been written up in The AV Club, Tubefilter, and the Huffington Post.
This week, Luke chops it up with comedian Ian Fidance (Bein’ Ian with Jordan). They talk about Luke getting into moshing, Joe Biden saving Ian’s school, dressing like Santa, and much more.
Ian Fidance: Ian Fidance is an offbeat yet upbeat stand-up comic, writer, and actor from Wilmington, Delaware who calls New York City his home; Brooklyn to be specific, but you can already tell by his mustache. A delicious cup of tea best drank live, his comedy has been described as “bizarre yet funny” by The Interrobang. A popular guest on both SiriusXM radio’s “The Bennington Show” and the Anthony Cumia Show with Artie Lange, he’s been featured in the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival, as well as the Boston, Brooklyn, and New York Comedy Festivals, written & performed in sketches for Above Average, Conde Nast, and Funny or Die, was commissioned by Nike to write & star in a live media presentation for their “Hyper” line of athletic wear, and made his stand up TV debut on the third season of AXS TV’s “Gotham Comedy Live.” After working a million jobs while growing up an only child to a single mother in Delaware, Ian has grown to be a live force and a stand-out stand-up with a fresh, positive voice in comedy. He can be seen nightly riding his bike(cycle) everywhere sharing his unique point of view and wild stories at places like New York Comedy Club, The Stand, UCB Theatre, the Creek & the Cave, Union Hall, and The Bell House. Every month he hosts a live stand-up & animation show called “Picture This!” at Union Hall in Brooklyn. He’ll hit the road often playing clubs, colleges, and independent venues all across the country, but will usually use his car for that.
