Johnny Mac chats with comedian Emily Catalano about her debut album 'Hey!' available on Blonde Medicine and limited edition vinyl.
Emily discusses the emotional process of recording and moving past old material, the rise of crowd work due to social media, and her background in editing.
They dive into her experiences during the pandemic, including performing Zoom shows, and her strategies for writing and performing new material. Emily also touches on her comedy influences, upcoming tour plans, and her love for movies and rock climbing. The episode wraps up with a discussion on her ongoing projects, including a new special and a Don't Tell Comedy taping.
Recorded live at the San Francisco Punch Line, the venue where she truly began her comedy journey, Emily Catalano’s Hey. showcases her laid back style and sharp writing. On this debut album you’ll hear about Emily’s upbringing as a tomboy with 3 brothers, her religious parents’ reaction when she came out as agnostic, and a both poignant and epic tale involving a loved one’s ashes. Said Emily Catalano, “my debut album serves as a compilation of my best material to date, drawing from my experiences with marriage, divorce, dating, and religion. It's densely packed with jokes rooted in my personal life. Think of it as a therapy session, but with more laughs and less co-pays.” Emily Catalano is a Los Angeles-based comedian who made her late night stand-up debut on CONAN and has since garnered attention with her viral stand-up clips circulating on social media. Known for her quick wit and dry humor, Emily's talent for crafting jokes out of everyday situations has garnered attention from Time Out LA, who named her a "Comic to Watch." Her deadpan delivery adds an extra layer of hilarity to her comedy, making her a standout in the comedy scene.
