39: Bomb Shelters, Bombing on Stage & Ben Shapiro – Brian Scott McFadden
About this episode
Comedian and voiceover veteran Brian Scott McFadden joins Steve Cooper with an unbelievable story — performing in Jerusalem during a missile strike and ending up in a bomb shelter mid-show. Brian shares how a comedy trip to Israel turned into eight days in a war zone, complete with canceled gigs, guerrilla shows, and a frantic escape through Jordan.
They also dive into Brian’s decades-long career, from MTV and Letterman to voicing the Honey Nut Cheerios Bee, the M&M Peanut, and countless commercial characters. Hear about his run-ins with the Philly/Jersey comedy scene, his Super Bowl ad that caught Ben Shapiro’s attention (for all the wrong reasons), and the changing landscape of stand-up and voiceover work.
