Tour RoadieMar 31, 2026 · 19 minThis week we travel back in time to the hottest day of the summer when I clocked in at my hardest job yet: being a roadie for the greatest band alive, Haywire from Boston Massachusetts. In order for these guys to kick butt and take names night after night, it takes a team effort of lugging all their gear - and they needed the help - I joined them on their 96th day in a row of playing shows on their 100 day tour. So come on! Get in the van, grab an amp or a guitar or whatever they throw at you and let’s go to the show! ******** Tickets and standup tour dates for Ian at punchup.live/ianfidance FOLLOW on IG FOR MORE! @ianimal69 for Ian @iandoshow for IAN DO @ymhstudios for all things hilarious @beinianpod everywhere you get podcasts patreon.com/beinianpod www.ianfidance.com Learn more about your ad choices.

IAN DO: An Odd Guy Doing Odd Jobs | Ep. 7: HIGH ROLLER LOBSTER CO.Mar 17, 2026 · 19 minThis is a very special episode of IAN DO cuz it’s the very first one we ever shot! Valentine’s Day Weekend 2025 I was just a crazy young fella driving in a blizzard barely makin my gigs in Portland Maine and I thought, "How else can I make this weekend more stressful? I know! I'll make a TV show." So I saddled up with Red Stallion Media (aka Jason Bosch) to film at High Roller Lobster Co. and it was a deliciously decadent and delightfully dazzling time! High Roller Lobster Co. is a restaurant full of talented tattooed punks and members of various local hardcore bands in New England so you KNOW the kitchen crew makes their rolls as tasty as their riffs and as bad ass as their breakdowns! So enjoy the very first episode of IAN DO that we ever shot. It’s as tasty as these rolls and I gotta say, I agree with the boss man - and you will too - this place ain't bad for a seafood shack.Tickets and tour dates at punchup.live/ianfidance ******** Tickets and standup tour dates for Ian at punchup.live/ianfidance FOLLOW on IG FOR MORE! @ianimal69 for Ian @iandoshow for IAN DO @ymhstudios for all things hilarious @beinianpod everywhere you get podcasts patreon.com/beinianpod www.ianfidance.com Learn more about your ad choices.
