Hey, everyone. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a joke go viral and then have some people think that that one topic is all you ever joke about? And then that's how you meet your wife? Well, join me in today's guest, Zoltan Cassis, as we both share stories about stand-up comedy, although only one of us has that wife story. Plus, towards the end, we talk about Zulton's favorite book, Post Office.

And this is The Bookpile.

If this is your first time here, welcome.

The Bookpile is a comedy podcast about the best of books and the worst of books.

I'm Kellyn Erskine.

My regular co-host, David Vance, is out

this week as usual, but we'll be back next week as usual, and we'll be discussing

Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own, a beautifully written essay-style book. Not to be confused

with another wolf author, Remus Lupin, who wrote that book,

A Room of One's Own to Chain Yourself Inside until the Full Moon goes away. As usual,

please feel free to leave us a review and consider subscribing to the podcast so you don't

have to manually download every episode.

Also, we have a Patreon if you want access to weekly bonus episodes.

Go to patreon.com slash the bookpile or just click the Patreon link of the description of this podcast on whatever app you're currently using.

Now, real quick, before we get to today's comedian guest, if you want to see me performing comedy live as a comedian, I'm going to be in Carlsbad, California, this Saturday, September 16th, this show will sell out. So grab your tickets as soon as possible. Then Pleasanton, California, on October 13th.

And I'll be in Provo, Utah, shooting my next dry bar comedy special on October 14th. Those

shows will sell out as well. There's two that night. Then, of course, Des Moines, Iowa, December

9th through the 10th. Go to Kellnerskine.com for all those

tickets. And now, without further ado, today's guest is a stand-up comic. You may have seen one of his

two dry bar comedy specials or his most recent hour special called White Lies, which is available on YouTube and on vinyl.

If anything, you have almost certainly seen his cats versus dogs bits somewhere on the internet.

And finally, he has a podcast called This Week in Zoltan.
