Pat House is a nationally touring comedian based out of Philadelphia.

For Pat, every day life seems to be a great source of material. Spending years bartending and interacting with strangers, he was constantly intrigued, amazed and extremely annoyed at the ridiculous things people say and do in public. With matter-of-fact delivery and sharp observations, Pat's material is relatable to anyone tortured by the absurdity of others.

Pat has performed at Funny Or Die's Oddball Festival, has been featured by The Metro and Philly Weekly. He recorded his first album Biggest Thing in 2013 and his latest album Heard Enough Yesterday in 2018, both albums are now available on iTunes and Amazon.

Michael Somerville's First Time

We don’t cross paths much, but when we do, Michael Somerville and I will always catch up - and DRINK! (I think I’m still hungover from our Vegas weekend back in February). From his first time on stage at Notre Dame to multiple Letterman appearances, we discuss how his friends talked him into becoming a comedian and hanging out in Vegas, baby!

Michael tried standup comedy on a dare while a student at the University of Notre Dame. He was soon emceeing Fighting Irish pep rallies and growing 70's style sideburns to do extra work in "Rudy". Upon graduation, he moved to New York City and took a job in advertising but, when his neck became irritated from shaving every day, retired to pursue comedy full time. His first job was dancing in a pink bear suit at a Bar Mitvah. He was hooked.

Since then Michael has carved a unique niche in entertainment. A comedian, TV host, writer, advice guru, there isn't much he doesn't do. Michael wrote and hosted the reality show "Wingman", imparts humorously insightful advice on the Hallmark Channel and has performed standup on The Late Show with David Letterman four times. He also serves as a panelist on various programs for VH1, Bravo and The History Channel and spent three years as Glamour Magazine's renowned dating columnist "Jake".

Michael has hosted shows for Nickelodeon, Starz and Encore and contributed to numerous publications from Time Magazine to Maxim. His albums "Welcome to Somerville" "Handsomely Disheveled" "No Sudden Movements" play in regular rotation on satellite radio.

In his free time, Michael likes sleeping late and fettuccini, and loathes the sound of honking horns. While generally convivial, he is most fun after coffee.

Dan Cummins' First Time

Dan Cummins is the hardest working comic I know. He’s also the comic I’ve worked with the most. We met in Cleveland four years ago, hit it off, and we’ve toured all over the country together and I learned a ton working with him. With eight albums, FOUR HUNDRED MILLION Pandora streams and - wait for it - THREE podcasts of his own, I’m glad he found time to chat. In this episode, we discuss his early days in comedy, dabbling as a guitar act, working the road, memorable shows we’ve had together and encores.

Steve Morrison's First Time

Preston and Steve have been on morning radio in Philly since the 90s and have been #1 in ratings for fifteen years straight, but not many people know that in the 1980s, Steve was a stand-up comic before he got into radio. Starting comedy on Long Island, he came up with Eddie Murphy and Rosie O’Donnell, and in this episode, we talk about some old (really old!) comedy influences, the different types of comedy, when college gigs used to be fun and his transition into radio. He’s had quite the career, and he was more than happy to share it all!

The Preston & Steve Show airs live weekday mornings (6 – 10:30ish) on Philly’s legendary rock station, 93.3 WMMR.

Hosts Preston Elliot and Steve Morrison have been waking up early to make mornings a little brighter for the folks of the Delaware Valley since 1998. It was May 16, 2005 when they found their forever home on MMR and along with CaseyBoy, Kathy Romano, Nick McIlwain and Marisa Magnatta they’ve become the #1 way for Philadelphians to start their morning.

Come for the features like The Bizarre File and Hollywood Trash and games like Crackshot and Loop There It Is and you’ll stay for the best celebrity interviews around and great conversation about whatever is happening in the world or their own lives. It’s like having friends in the car with you.

Preston & Steve’s Camp Out for Hunger, the single largest food drive in the country happens every winter, and the I Bleed for Preston & Steve Blood Drive, which has recently grown to become the America’s largest blood drive, is in the summer with countless events held in between.

Listen live on 93.3 FM, wmmr.com, MMR Apps & Skills, or catch up with the Daily Preston & Steve Podcast available everywhere. GADZOOKS!
