Not My Favorite
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. New episodes weekly.
