Episode 272: That's A Long Way To Go Man with AJ Finney (Last Comic Standing)

Sometimes stand-up comedian AJ Finney is just livin’ his life wrong. At the Tropicana Casino in New Jersey (circa 2014) he had a mall-massage-induced panic attack AND one of his worst bombs. He wasn’t confident, and couldn’t bring his set around. Most of the time, he destroys - and he was able to talk to Dan Bublitz Jr about producing comedy albums, how everyone is a nerd about something, why comics sit in the back of the room, how comics have a magnified perception of what’s going on on stage compared to an audience, and you know - working in a casino is just weird.

AJ Finney

Stylistically manic, and artistically brilliant, AJ Finney is an eclectic midwesterner with a passion for the psychedelic scene of the Sixties. Comedy, jam bands, and Volkswagens — that’s him. He’s an eco-friendly, improvisational, sometimes philosophical, patchouli-soaked quipster. AJ’s organic approach is refreshing and his poetic stream-of-consciousness style makes for a colorful and unforgettable comedic experience. His audience (much like the Deadheads) is finding him through alternative venues such as music festivals, head shops, and record stores. In 2014 AJ was crowned “Best of the Midwest” winner at Gilda’s LaughFest in Grand Rapids, was featured on the FOX television show Laughs, and was one of the 100 performers chosen for Season 8 of NBC’s Last Comic Standing. In 2013 he was a semifinalist in the Comedy Central talent search Up Next, as well as a finalist in the 2011 San Francisco International Comedy Competition. He was voted “Best in Fest” at the 2011 Detroit LaughFest and was a finalist in HBO’s Lucky 21 comedy competition. AJ is an effective and engaging storyteller with a rhythm that quickly pulls you into his world. You'll laugh until you leave and then later you'll laugh again.
