    I love Keith & Chemda
    This podcast is wonderful. I've listened to all the episodes but forgot to subscribe until I heard Keith's amazing outro song on the Dave Hill episode. The transition from podcasting hall of fame to rock and roll hall of fame will be flawless.

    Interesting & insightful with laughs
    I love comedy, and listening to a little talk about the business on podcasts over the years has given me a lot more respect for the art. The “first time” isn’t something comics touch on often. Keith and Chemda found a cool area to shine a light with conversation.

    Best in the Business!
    My Opening Line is a good intro to the amazing podcasting pioneers Keith and Chemda. Their main podcast has over 3000 episodes! 13 years! That’s how good they are. You have a lot to catch up on. The sooner the better.

  • LostAgain
    Another great Podcast from KATG group
    The show is hillarious. The booking calls must be something like "Hey remember how you humiliated yourself to get into the business? Well we want you to relive that in detail."
  • KaraokeJoe
    Another great podcast from Keith and Chemda!
    They're so good at getting people to open up. They're great interviewers and the "behind the scenes" nature of the topic makes it a lot of fun to isten to. Great job, guys!

    Have been listening to Keith and The Girl for years. Love their daily podcast. Am a member of their VIP programming, and enjoy the podcasts contained therein. This is another exceptional podcast put out by some of the best in the business. In addition to the great chemistry and humor you get from Keith and Chemda, it is fun and interesting to hear about the early days of performing from their guests. You get Keith and The Girl regular guests as well as some of the biggest names in comedy.

    Behind the scenes
    I really feel like I get an honest behind the scenes view from my favorite comics on what it was like for them when they started. So good!

  • Myq Kaplan
    Keith and Chemda and this are great
    Keith and Chemda are super hosts who have been hosting podcasts for a long time. They know what they’re doing, and they have great conversations here with comedians who know what they’re doing, about times in the past that they did NOT know what they were doing. So, if you know what you’re doing, listen! Enjoy!

    5 Stars (or 4 if you're old)
    They've been interviewing comedians 5 days a week for over 10 years. They've learned how to dig the most embarrassing and funny stories out of a guest. And they've turned it into a new show. It doesn't matter if you're a comedy buff of novice, you'll have a good time trying not to laugh like a weirdo with your headphones in.
  • TheIchiro
    Amazing!!
    Not sure if I wanted to give 5 stars or Five stars
  • badlala
    Hilarious and insightful
    Love this new show. I highly recommend for any comedy fan. The “insider details” are sometimes painful but always funny. Keith and Chemda are pros!
  • Meme Cherry

    Great show, from some of the all time greats
    Keith and Chemda have been producing some of the best quality podcast for longer than podcasting has been a thing. This show is no exception. 5 out of Five!
  • AlyssaN924
    Another show to look forward to in my podcast feed!
    Not only a great concept, but a great execution! Keith and Chemda are fabulous in every incarnation, so I knew I'd be getting another awesome show with My Opening Line. I was not disappointed! Now stop reading reviews and go listen!
  • Tom Brillante
    What a Great Idea for a Show!
    Keith and Chemda talk to comedians about their first time on stage and all the embarrassment that goes along with it. Just got done listening to Ep 1 where Emma Willman performs behind a kitchen counter after receiving this intro: “So, Emma’s gonna tell her joke now.” Don’t miss out on this! It’s a beautiful ball of funny and sadness all wrapped into one.
  • Rebeccamf
    WOW!
    I love this podcast because it speaks the truth about what and who they are! You get to know the comedian behind the comedy!
  • Aricard1980
    One of the best shows ever did
    Great from the jump
  • Techno Skibum
    You really want to be a standup comedian
    This is a must listen to aspiring comedians to prepare yourself for the bombs, and for those who now just use jokes as their sole income to help you think back to the times when you bombed. Another "Aces 10" podcast from Keith and the Girl
  • hollelluia
