  • Excited for more

    I love how personal it feels. Although it’s only the first episode, I love we got to hear about his early inspirations- whether it was watching stand up legends on tv, being the class clown, or finding humor in tough life experiences.

    As someone who loves comedy and is curious about the creative process, this podcast hits all the right notes. I’m excited to see who they feature next and how each guest’s unique journey adds another layer to the world of comedy. Can’t wait for the next episode!
