The Iowa Idea: Chris Gersbeck

“xxx.”

In this episode of The Iowa Idea Podcast, I sit down with Chris Gersbeck. Chris is a producer, publicist and writer based in Queens, NY. He currently produces and makes regular appearances on comedy podcasts Dave Hill: History Fluffer, Dave Hill’s Podcasting Incident, and So… You’re Canadian with Dave Hill, the latter two of which are on the Maximum Fun network. Chris also produces numerous live comedy events throughout New York City under the banner of Dumb Industries and handles publicity for several popular podcasts and comedians including Frank Conniff & Trace Beaulieu, The State, RISK! and Keith and The Girl.

Chris and I talk about what led to the end of Ernest Borgnine and Ethel Merman’s 32-day marriage. We dig into show business urban legends as well as Chris’s journey from comedian to podcast producer and publicist.

It was an honor to have Chris join the podcast. I really appreciated his perspective. Thanks to Chris for joining me. I hope you enjoy the episode.
