Summary
This week on Stand-Up Memories, Jackie “The Joke Man” Martling and Peter Bales sit down with comedian Dave Hawthorne for a time-traveling conversation packed with legendary names and unbelievable stories. Dave pulls back the curtain on real comedy history — sharing firsthand stories involving Billy Crystal, an eight-year-old Ben Stiller, and even the unmistakable voice of Howard Cosell. No Wikipedia timelines here — just raw, lived moments from an era when comedy clubs were classrooms, legends were accessible, and nobody knew who would become iconic… yet. It’s a fast, funny, and deeply nostalgic ride through comedy’s backstage hallways, where timing mattered, characters were larger than life, and stories were earned the hard way. 🎭 Comedy legends, up close 🎤 Old-school stories you won’t hear anywhere else 🧠 Insight from someone who was actually there 😂 Laughs that transcend generations Press play and step into comedy history — one memory at a time.
