November 17, 2021 • Episode 48

EP48: Today we are headed to Los Angeles, CA to talk to John Lehr - a comedic performer, writer and producer that has worked in television, film, and theater.

He was one of the original Geico Caveman from the wildly successful commercial campaign, starred as Leslie Pool in "10 Items or Less" from Sony on TBS, and as Sheriff Hoyle on Hulu’s original comedy western "Quickdraw".

Under the banner of Howler Monkey Productions, John and producing partner Nancy Hower have created multiple projects, most involving their unique improvisationally-based “hybrid” style.

John also created "Cold. Sober. Comedy." where he performs standup and MC’s at corporate events, fundraisers, non-profits, and sober communities. He talks about his personal/career struggles, his continuing sober journey and the importance of an authentic sense of humor.
