343: Sean Keane and America's Uncle Dad

Sean Keane! Comedian! Writer! Podcaster! Friend! Delight! More! Sean is a funny friend and a great comedian with a new standup album out (his debut!) RIGHT NOW! It's called "America's Uncle Dad" and here's some more info about it! ABOUT AMERICA'S UNCLE DAD: Sean Keane is a Bay Area native, and America’s Uncle Dad is very much a Bay Area album. It was recorded at the Punch Line in San Francisco and everyone the world over can relate to Sean’s lampooning of mass transit, (white) yoga culture, psychedelics, growing up with an adorable lisp, and a truly riotous take-down of a Simon and Garfunkel classic that we promise will forever change how you hear the song. Keane grew up in  the East Bay and moved to San Francisco. He started putting on stand-up shows in college at Berkeley, where he was the editor-in-chief of the campus humor magazine, The Heuristic Squelch. He currently lives in Oakland with his fiancé and their Aussie doodle  puppy, Pinot Noir. Sean began doing stand-up himself in 2005 when he “...stopped just writing funny things for the internet or magazines and started actually saying them into a microphone in public…it turns out you start doing stand-up comedy by just doing stand-up comedy”. We’re certainly glad he did, and the material he has crafted and honed since then makes America’s Uncle Dad a remarkable and hilarious debut, and Sean is sure to be your favorite of all your relatives.​ MORE ABOUT SEAN KEANE: Sean Keane is a writer, stand-up comedian and co-host of the Roundball Rock NBA podcast. He has contributed to "Another Period," "Billy On The Street," NBC, Comedy Central, ESPN The Magazine and McSweeney's. In 2014, the SF Bay Guardian named him the best comedian in San Francisco, then immediately went out of business. We had a great chat! You can have a great listen!
