Male Half on Cleveland radio
Dave Schwensen’s “What’s So Funny” interviews comedians and intersperses the conversation with audio clips of the comedian’s favorite comics. The Male Half and The Female Half submitted to the interrogation when they were in CLE, headlining at the Cleveland Improv last month.
The episode featuring The Male Half will air on WELW 1330 AM at 4 pm & 11 PM EDT today, and then again on Sunday, August 3 at 8 PM. If you can’t be around a radio (a radio in Cleveland) at that time, you can catch it online at WELW.com.
We had loads of fun taping the shows. The Male Half requested clips from Mitch Hedberg, Steven Wright and Jackie Vernon.
Watch this space for word on the dates of the airing of The Female Half’s interview.

This might be a good opportunity to plug my radio show, which also interviews comedians and intersperses the conversation with audio clips of the comedian’s favourite comics (and sometimes of the comedians themselves). And, coincidentally, the show is also called “What’s So Funny?” (the difference being we use the grammatically correct question mark while they use the trite exclamation mark). We’ve even run an interview with The Male Half of the Staff at sheckymag. Our pilot episode was in April 2004 then we went on weekly beginning in October of 2004. Who wins?Most of my guests are locals, but some of the bigger guests have been Janeane Garofalo, Marc Maron, Sarah Silverman, Brent Butt, Dana Carvey, Kyle Cease, Paul Provenza, Penn Jillette, Gary Gulman and Yakov Smirnoff. They’re also in podcast form: http://comedycouch.com/podcasts.htm
Forgot to mention that my show is done in Vancouver, BC. That’s Canada. North America.
It’s kind of hidden on their website, but the mp3/Podcast/replay of the interview should be up on the station site Monday or Tuesday here-http://64.199.31.202/welw/LER%20FunnyYou can also listen to all of the past shows.
Hi! Just thought I should clear things up. “What’s So Funny!” debuted on Cleveland radio in 1999. Was on WHK 1420 AM. I’ve been the host since 2005-06 season. And yes, past shows are available for download on http://www.welw.com. Just go to “programming” link and follow. Keep Laughing! Dave Schwensen
