Happy Monday comedy fam!
The podcast is back with our most personal episode yet.
After taking some time off (I just had my first child!), I’ve had a chance to really think about what matters most in comedy—and I wanted to share those lessons with you.
In this episode, Yoshee and I talk about:
Re-prioritizing your comedy career without losing momentum
The real power of clean comedy (Did you know Nate Bargatze made $80 MILLION last year? Yep—clean jokes.)
How to get booked more often, even if you’re not a big name
Why rehearsing your set OUT LOUD can unlock punchlines you didn’t even know existed
I also share how becoming a Dad has shifted my focus toward local gigs, teaching clean comedy, and staying connected to the Hot Breathiverse.
Keep grinding comedy fam,
Joel
