Ep 478 SCOTTOBER A Retrospective Pt 2

Fran Solomita was a Boston comedian who went on to become a TV director and producer and had the idea to create a documentary that showcased the insanity of the Boston comedy scene of the late 70s and early 80s that became known as the Boston Comedy Boom.  "When Stand Up Stood Out" came out of that idea.  We constantly reference this documentary and have had many of the comedians featured in this doc on the podcast.  Fran's path was a very interesting one.  Check out Fran at ⁠https://www.instagram.com/fransologolfer⁠ Check out Ground Control Radio at ⁠⁠https://www.groundcontrolradio.net/⁠⁠ Check out Ace at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.aceaceto.lol/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and Scott at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://scotthigginscomedy.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.buymeacoffee.com/behindthefQ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to buy us a coffee or a bourbon.  Get your BTF gear at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://btfpodstore.dashery.com/

SCOTTOBER became a tradition in the Acement when comedian and paranormal investigator Tom Stewart did an episode in 2019 and with evidence from his paranormal investigation.
