  • Eight Comedians; One Chronic Mental Illness
    Eight comedians; one chronic mental illness When it comes to depression, everyone’s story is different. But a lot of time, the stories can be pretty similar. In this podcast, there are common themes that rise up in conversations with comedians. There was a pretty specific age range during which most people first felt depression. Some were as young as five, some as old as 21. But for a lot of them, it hit right down the middle: during the cracking voice years, the unexpected hair years. Jake Weisman, standup comic Jake is based in LA and one of the writers and stars of Hampton Deville, an up and coming sitcom on Comedy Central. “The first time I had depression was when puberty hit in seventh or eighth grade. I remember feeling very dark thoughts all the time. Like not wanting to be alive. I remember being kind of an asshole. I hated myself so much. I remember every day, having this layer of sludge over my brain. I felt stupid and unworthy of everything I had and I kind of hated myself. I would be really sarcastic to people.” Awareness of how much you could hate yourself comes up a lot. Also, how much you could detach from the world. Sometimes how much you didn’t want to be there anymore. Another theme that kept coming up was confusion about what was going on. You don’t have life experience to identify it. You’ve never felt anything like this before. Mike Drucker, standup and a writer Mike has worked on Jimmy Fallon, Saturday Night Live, he’s co-writer of an upcoming Bill Nye’s show for Netflix.

Known for his roles in St Elmo’s Fire, Wayne’s World, the Austin Powers franchise, The West Wing, Brothers & Sisters, Parks & Recreation, The Grinder and many, many more – Lowe has been a handsome fixture of our small and silver screens since the early 1980s. Get ready for Lowe’s dirty laundry to be aired when the Roasters spill the beans on his movie star lifestyle and brat pack antics. Comedy Central’s Roast of Rob Lowe will assemble a dais of comedians and celebrities, along with Roast Master David Spade (Saturday Night Live, Joe Dirt, Just Shoot Me!, Rules of Engagement), to take down the ageless sex symbol one burn at a time. The first round of Roasters confirmed include one of the UK's most distinctive comedians Jimmy Carr, Saturday Night Live’s Pete Davidson, actress and Lowe’s co- star Bo Derek, former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning, comedic actor Rob Riggle, and Roast alumni Jeff Ross.
