  • EP 10 Sean Jordan talks Standup Comedy and Skater Music
    Mar 19 2026

    So at Famous Portland Bar Barlow, I asked friends if they knew any comedians that would want to be on the podcast and they threw out Sean Jordan as like a "Could you imagine?" type guy.


    Well, anyway, Sean comes on to the podcast to talk about his history getting into standup comedy, moving to Portland, his dream to be a professional skateboarder, and skater music.


    Catch him playing shows in Portland, as the host of Nice to Be Nice, or cohosting All Fantasy Everything and go watch his special Girl Dad.
