We're Getting Famous

Bill Squire treats his past less like material for self-help and more like an accident report. Much of the set hinges on how early embarrassments linger into adulthood, connecting childhood bedwetting and sports failure to run-ins with the police and buying tampons for teenagers. He also breaks up the domestic history with an extended riff on prehistoric venture capital, picturing early hominids pitching fire and the wheel to a skeptical panel on Shark Tank.

Filmed at the Agora Theatre in Cleveland and directed by Jeremy Essig, the 44-minute special was released by Comedy Dynamics in late 2024. By that point, Squire had spent over a decade co-hosting the afternoon drive show on Cleveland rock station 100.7 WMMS, fitting stand-up tours and independent specials around daily commercial radio.
