(B)MIB - #31: Matthew Dittmann (Meat Hooks, Pornography, & Brotherly Love)

I have a much needed and hilarious conversation with former Actor, Comedian, current Owner of Crawford’s (Bar & Fried Chicken) in Los Angeles, and brother from another mother, Matthew Dittmann. We discuss Matt’s early life growing up in New York City/Connecticut, his father giving his mother crabs and blaming it on a used mattress, fighting on the mean streets of Chicago, attending a performing arts high school, seeing Chris Farley before he died, using his trauma to create comedy, attending CalArts, making out with me in Jean Genet’s play The Maids, defending his brother’s honor, having Richard Simmons as his Godfather, Matt’s mom making friends with Lily Tomlin, how I found non-sexual comfort with a prostitute, having an air-soft gun shootout in our apartment during the Christmas of 2005, and much more. Recording Date: Tuesday, March 16th, 2021 To meet Matt, have a brew, and enjoy the best fried chicken in Los Angeles stop by Crawford’s at 2616 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90057 or visit: https://www.crawfordschicken.la/
