The Quiet Side of Loud: Gilbert Gottfried’s Life, Laugh Lines, and Legacy from his Wife Dara
***BREAKING & ENTERING JINGLE JAM TICKETS HERE!***
********
In this episode of Up+Adam, we welcome Dara Gottfried, widow of the legendary comedian Gilbert Gottfried. Dara joins Adam to discuss Gilbert’s first and only comedy album, Still Screaming, which she helped curate with Clown Jewels. This 2xLP set features iconic bits, rare photos, and even sketches from Gilbert himself. Dara shares personal stories about Gilbert’s unmistakable humor, his quiet side at home, and the process behind curating his first and only comedy album. We also dive into the Gottfried family’s efforts to raise awareness for myotonic dystrophy type II through a dedicated research fund.
Later in the show, we chat with Amy George from Salinas River Ranch, a picturesque Christmas tree farm located in Atascadero, CA. Amy shares how the farm helps families create lasting holiday traditions, with options to cut your own tree or choose from their selection of pre-cut trees. We also talk about how easy it is to find the perfect tree, their generous donation to our Breaking and Entering Christmas family for the second year in a row, and how the farm is ready for visitors with plenty of trees still available. Don’t forget to grab some hot apple cider and popcorn while your tree is prepared to take home! Visit Salinas River Ranch: salinasriverranch.org
This episode is packed with humor, heart, and holiday cheer—don’t miss it!

Breaking and Entering Jingle Jam is officially happening! This is a chance for all of us to come together, raise some funds for our Breaking and Entering Christmas mission, and celebrate the season with some great local music. Mark your calendars for Friday, December 13th, at SLO Brew Rock—now called Rod and Hammer’s Rock. We’ve got an amazing lineup including Damon Castillo, Dante Marsh, Josh Rosenblum, Kenny Lee Lewis from the Steve Miller Band, and Michael Venia from Carbon City Lights. More artists are being added as we speak, and I couldn’t be more excited to see how this is coming together. I’ll have more info next week on how to get your tickets, but in the meantime, head over to adammontiel.com to learn more, donate, or support our Breaking and Entering Christmas efforts. Let’s make this holiday season special for a family who truly needs it.
