361: Shain Brenden and Either Way Pretty Funny

Broccoli and Ice Cream with Myq Kaplan

Shain Brenden! Comedian! Friend! Delight! His new album is Either Way, Pretty Funny! ABOUT THIS ALBUM: On this debut album, Shain paints a picture of a guy trying his best with what he’s got: being outnumbered and bullied by the women in his family, getting kicked out of an ultrasound appointment, and defending his completely appropriate and not weird at all love of NBA rookies. He closes it all out with an original slam poem with a topic untouched by poets at large: working the drive-thru at McDonald's.

ABOUT SHAIN BRENDEN:​

When a sandstorm left his unit stranded in Afghanistan on Christmas Day, Portland-favorite and military veteran Shain Brenden did his first set during an impromptu talent show. He’s since traded in his uniform for a microphone and for over a decade has been featured on Don’t Tell Comedy, on SiriusXM Radio, and at various comedy clubs and festivals around the country. Now, Black & Filipino-American comedian, writer, and actor, Shain is proudly the second most famous person from Millington, Tennessee (after Justin Timberlake). PLEASE ENJOY!
