The Lou Perez Podcast - Boris Khaykin and Harry Terjanian

The Lou Perez Podcast

On this episode of The Lou Perez Podcast, I enjoy the comedy and hair stylings of my friends and frequent co-conspirators Boris Khaykin and Harry Terjanian.

We talk about going bald, what children reveal about theory of mind, pranksters that don’t do pranks, Tony Hinchcliffe’s set at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally, my one-sided war with cholo-face cultural appropriator Lou Diamond Phillips, and a lil cancellation in Texas.

We also get to share the times we’ve laughed the hardest.

If you’re free tonight November 4th, I’ll be performing on Electoral Dysfunction at The Grisly Pear in Midtown Manhattan. Use discount code “CL10” for 50% off tickets.

Catch me headlining in Texas on November 15th (Austin), November 16th (San Antonio), and November 17th (Houston) .

Who am I?

Lou Perez is a comedian, producer, and author of That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore. You may have seen him on FOX's Gutfeld! and Open to Debate (with Michael Ian Black). Lou was the head writer and producer of the Webby Award-winning comedy channel We the Internet TV and produces Comedy Is Murder, a sketch comedy series with Free the People. Lou is a FAIR-in-the Arts fellow, on the advisory board of Heresy Press, and hosts the live debate series The Wrong Take and The Lou Perez Podcast. During my tenure at We the Interent, I made the kind of comedy that gets you put on lists and your words in the Wall Street Journal: “How I Became a ‘Far-Right Radical.” How’d I start out? I began doing improv and sketch comedy while an undergrad at New York University, where I was part of the comedy group the Wicked Wicked Hammerkatz. For years, I performed at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater (both in NYC and L.A.) in sketch shows with the Hammerkatz and my comedy duo, Greg and Lou. G&L are probably best known for our sketch "Wolverine's Claws Suck," which has over 20 million views across online platforms. I was a writer for Fox Sports' @TheBuzzer; produced The Attendants with the Above Average Network; produced pilots for FOX Digital and MSN Games; and was a comedy producer on TruTV's Impractical Jokers. I hosted the stand-up show Uncle Lou's Safe Place in Los Angeles, performed at the Big Pine Comedy Festival, Bridgetown Comedy Festival, and co-created the political comedy podcast Unsafe Space. I taught creative writing at the City College of New York, "writing the web series" for Writing Pad, and comedy writing workshops for the Moving Picture Institute.
