On this episode of The Mike Murphy Show, I sat down with London Brown (Raising Kanan, Ballers) and Chris Sneed (Funny AF, Roast Me) — two LA natives who discovered they both started comedy at the exact same talent show… while working regular jobs at the LA Times. That moment launched two powerful journeys.We got into their shared roots, how they each avoided gang life, and channeled their energy into comedy, acting, and creativity. London talked about what it’s like playing Marvin Thomas on Raising Kanan, his time on Ballers, and how his photography hobby turned into a way to support other comedians—including how he met John Grimes.We also talked about the danger of comparing yourself to others, and why staying in your lane is the key to real, lasting success.Chris opened up about why he’s self-producing his comedy special, what inspired it, and how he's creating it on his own terms.🎟️ Catch Chris Sneed live at his upcoming special “I Need Urgent Care” –🗓️ June 26th at The Regent Theater in Los Angeles🔗 Get tickets here https://www.ticketmaster.com/chris-sneed-i-need-urgent-care-los-angeles-california-06-26-2025/event/0900627BE3654976🎤 This one’s full of stories, game, and straight-up laughs.
