I moved to LA about 6 years ago and randomly had some friends out here. For most of it, I was in San Francisco, and I thought that other than trying to make it as an artist there are not a lot of opportunities in San Francisco. I was basically a singer-songwriter in a band, and I had two real record deals over the years and nothing really ever came of that.
Yeah, I was a musician for years, and I still do music stuff on the side. You started out as a musician before you got into the comedy world, right? I recently chatted with Braden about his start in comedy, touring with the Stern Show staffers, and writing for television.

He now makes his living writing for several TV shows, in addition to performing live. Though Braden’s songs are admittedly lowbrow, the jokes in his popular Twitter feed are often extremely clever and have drawn such fans as “Weird Al” Yankovic and Molly McNearney, Jimmy Kimmel Live’s head writer who gave Braden a tryout writing on the show. (Sample “ Robin’s Double G’s” sung to the tune of “Up on Cripple Creek.”) Comedian Eli Braden has an impressive 58,000 Twitter followers, but that’s nothing compared to the 6 million SiriusXM subscribers who routinely hear his parody songs.įans of the Howard Stern Show know Braden ( as the comedian/musician who regularly provides the show’s raunchy parody songs introducing Robin Quivers, Stern’s well-endowed news anchor.
