Kristofer Royer

Johnson & Royer share a deep respect for their comedic heritage as well as a borderline sickness for Sci-Fi & comic books. They discuss both often leaving our host in the dust.

Listen in as Johnson talks his surprise entry to the stand up stage & Royer explains how what can only be described as an “Accomplice” Childhood led him to the comedic spotlight. From Carlin to comic books, to bank robberies- this episode has it all.
