Geoff Gundy (Jokechella) | Peter Cetera’s Biggest Fan
Radio DJ Geoff Gundy learned about singer Peter Cetera’s departure from the band Chicago the hard way - while interviewing the band Chicago on the radio. Twenty years after Peter Cetera left the band.
Lucky for Gundy, there aren’t many comedy bombs that will hit that hard. Formally taking up comedy in 2020, he tells stand-up comedian Dan Bublitz Jr how he’s been fine-tuning his craft: learning when to use sensitive material, how to work open mics, how to shorten your learning curve by taking classes, and more.
Geoff Gundy
I was such a class clown that I'm lucky one of my grade school teachers didn't kill me. My classmates, however, became like family and many still are. When they weren't pulling their hair out, my teachers often complimented my "quick wit," long before I even knew what that meant. I was lucky enough to watch my first HBO standup comedy special when I was 7, and it became an addiction. (Thanks, Mom!!) In addition to writing and performing standup comedy since 2009, I have worked as an emcee, writer, producer, and top-rated radio host since 2002. What's better than laughter and great music? Not much! On one hand, I naturally call things around me as I see them. On the other, I have always been driven by making a person's day better than it was before we met. I was told from age 12 that I was a comedian, but for years thought my family and friends were just biased. It is beyond liberating to lean into that all the way, and not even get written up for it!
