Sareth Ney:  What inspired you to perform stand-up comedy?
Jeremy Sheer:  I went to a locals only showcase in Lakewood (Ohio) and I became aware that there was an entry level for stand-up.  So, I spent a year figuring out what I was going to do and I did it.
 
SN:   What was the feeling like, when you first performed stand-up comedy?
JS:  I was angry that I hadn't been doing it sooner.  Also, sick because we did shots of Goldschläger out of unwashed brass communion cups before the show.
 
SN: What are your favorite comedy specials and record albums?
JS:  Bob Newhart’s "The Button Down Mind", George Carlin’s "You Are All Diseased”, Doug Stanhope’s "Acid Bootleg" and Mike Bowser’s "Tap Dancer"
 
SN:  What are your favorite sketch shows, sitcoms and comedy films?
JS:  “The Kids in the Hall”, “The State”, “It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia”, “Seinfeld”, “The Jim Gaffigan Show”, “Blazing Saddles” and “Goon”
 
SN:  If you could go on tour with any comedian, which one would you choose?
JS:  Doug Benson ‘cause his fans bring joints so I can stop paying for weed.
 
SN:  If you could get roasted by five comedians (past or present), which ones would you choose?
JS:  Don Rickles, Greg Giraldo, Joan Rivers, Alan King and Jim Norton
 
SN:  Which other forms of comedy would you like to venture off into?
JS:  I'd like to write a movie or a TV series. All of my scripts so far have been for shorts. I'd also like to make an audio sketch show work.
 
SN:  What experience would you like for your audience to take with them, after a set is over?
JS:  They should want to follow me into oblivion.
 
SN:  Where do you see your comedy career, in the next five years?
JS:  Doing what I'm doing now except for more money and in different places while still living in Cleveland.
 
SN:  Where can the readers find you online and on social media?
JS:  Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr @dirtysheer, Podcast - letthehateflowthroughyou.com and Sketch @SadBoyssc on FB (website up soon at sadboyssocialclub.com)
