  • Not My Favorite Ep.17: Standup Comedy is an art
    Jul 9 2026

    One comic. One mic. One producer who won’t stay quiet.

    This is a solo podcast about comedy, culture, and the weird position of trying to be a thinking person in a very stupid world. I break down what’s happening inside the comedy scene, what’s happening outside it, and where a working stand-up fits in the middle of all of it.

    Expect honest takes on stand-up, cultural moments, internet drama, the business of comedy, and whatever else deserves to be roasted that week. Occasionally my off-camera producer jumps in to fact-check, argue, or make things worse.

    If you like stand-up, behind-the-scenes comedy talk, and a comic trying to figure out where he belongs in the circus, this is for you.
