Lesser Known Characters is a weekly podcast hosted by Shapel Lacey and Joel Jimenez as they go on a journey with each guest, learning about their lives through their musical choices. They ask everything from songs guests play in their car to the songs they play at the gym, songs that remind them of love, sadness, youth and more.
Shapel Lacey: Shapel Lacey is an American comedian born and raised in Mesa, Arizona. His unique life experiences (such as being adopted by a Caucasian family at age 15), punk rock mentality, and stage presence combined make for a truly original voice in the community. Diligence and the desire to grow led him from the Phoenix open mic circuit onto main stages where he regularly performed for comedians such as Bill Burr, Chris D’Elia, Hannibal Buress, Bryan Callen, Frank Caliendo, and now regularly in Los Angeles, California.
Joel Jimenez: Joel Jimenez is a stand-up comedian, musician and a native of Northeast Los Angeles. For years he was the drummer for the #1 live podcast in the world, Kill Tony. These days you can find him at the World Famous Comedy Store, in regular rotation on some of LA’s top comedy podcasts, a co-host on both the Dogs of Brown Town and Lesser Known Characters podcasts, as well as the drummer for the punk rock band Mad Peaceful.
On this week’s episode, Shapel and Joel are joined by friend and fellow comedian Gabby Lamb to discuss classic albums from her childhood and how they influenced her in the world of stand-up comedy.
Gabby Lamb: Gabby Lamb is a stand-up comic hailing from the beach city, Oceanside CA. She never really excelled in academia as she found herself distracted by the finer things in life: dating, sneaking out at night, socializing, and drinking. After barely graduating high school, she moved to Los Angeles, where she started her stand-up career and has found a way to turn the things she was good at and enjoys (talking openly about dating, alcoholism, sobriety, failed relationships, sex, childhood, years of therapy and medication) into comedic relief that spills into her social media presence, stand up and podcast.
