The John Miller Program with Candy Churilla November 4

In the first hour, we'll talk with Grace White, aka That Old Hippie Chick, a long-time friend of the JMP. She’s a classic bohemian with a mother who stalks her, a father to whom road rage is an art-form, and an act like no other. White has opened for such musical acts as 3 Doors Down, Starship, and Jethro Tull, as well as comedians Kevin Pollack, Rocky LaPorte, and Father Guido Sarducci. She’s made thousands of fans laugh in Golden Gate Park from the stage of San Francisco's long-running annual "Comedy Day" celebration. White’s all female comedy tour, Women Who Kick Comedy Butt, is a comedy show with a revolving lineup featuring bright women of all ages, ethnicities, and cultural backgrounds. You can find Candy on Grace's show as well as our next guest, Beth Schumann.

Beth Schumann’s hilarious observations and anecdotes are at once intelligent and silly. She speaks to many of the issues baby-boomers face today: high stress jobs, divorce, weight gain, health problems, and medications. Beth is a founding member of the Mixed Nuts: Comics on Meds stand up comedy troupe, which performs at popular venues throughout Northern California. The show features comedians on medication for a wide variety of mental health disorders, raising awareness and laughter at the same time. Beth has shared the stage with Rob Cantrell, Will Durst, Bobby Slayton, Harland Williams, and more.

Bob Johnston is a high-energy comic who grew up in a small town, and has been called “the only Redneck in the Bay Area.” Bob does a great job morphing blue-collar comedy with the high tech world and skips easily from topics such as baldness to ex-girlfriends to traffic problems. Getting his start in the East Bay/Oakland area helped Bob earned the title of “the blackest non-black comic.” Bob has opened for The Stylistics, Richard Lewis, Bruce Bruce, Tony Rock, Mary Ellen Hooper, Lavelle Crawford, and Sherman Helmsley (aka George Jefferson). Bob has performed at The Improv, the Punchline, the Comedy Store, and many more.
