Before they were killing on stage, they were just trying to make it — and comedian Anthony Amorello wants to know how.
In Paving New Roads, the veteran stand-up and former asphalt man sits down with comedy’s most compelling voices to uncover the gritty, funny, and downright weird paths that led them to success.
Recorded high above Sunset Boulevard at the legendary Andaz West Hollywood, just steps from The Comedy Store, each episode mixes raw storytelling with sharp humor and a dash of Hollywood chaos. From tales of early jobs and side hustles to lessons learned bombing in dive bars, Paving New Roads is where real comedians share what it really takes to make it.
Whether you’re chasing your own dream or just love a good laugh about the hustle, Paving New Roads with Anthony Amorello is the podcast that proves every detour can still lead to the stage.
This week, Comedian CP tells us why comedy is like hooking up with someone. And also what it feels like when you fall on your face. He talks about roasting a Navy SEAL on accident, and how despite getting a standing ovation during his first set, he got creamed on his second in front of his mom.
CP shares stories from his upbringing, the challenges he faced along the way, and how he got started in stand-up comedy. From behind-the-scenes moments in the comedy world to personal lessons learned through success and adversity, this episode offers plenty of laughs and insight.
Whether you’re a fan of comedy, interested in the creative process, or just enjoy hearing authentic stories from talented people, this is the episode to catch on CP.
