Trailer Fire

Murphy's back and he takes on Asheville’s biggest tourist trap (sorry, Biltmore), channels ancient Egyptian vibes at the King Tut exhibit. Travis debuts s a new cowboy hat that immediately becomes his entire personality. Also: the ongoing quest to find a real man to do some real work.

I’m live from Vail, where the air is thin and the wallets are thick. This solo episode covers what a comedy festival actually is, how to not screw it up, and why rich people argue quieter.I break down comedy festivals— how they work, how to get the most out of them, and what I’ve learned performing at the Vail Comedy Festival in one of the richest cities in America.If you’re a comic trying to figure out what a comedy festival actually is, how to get into one, or what to expect once you're there, this episode covers it all: networking tips, performance prep, and how to deal with altitude sickness while bombing in front of Patagonia-clad millionaires.

This week, we light a few cultural matches and watch the fire burn. We investigate the Amish community’s suspicious relationship with electricity—turns out some of them might be cheating on God with a blender. Then, we mourn the mysterious disappearance of lightning bugs, speculate wildly, and blame the government (probably)... and things take a sharp left when we unpack the time Travis's grandfather may or may not have solicited a sex worker overseas during the war.It’s honest, it's unhinged, and it smells faintly of lighter fluid.

On this episode of Trailer Fire, I'm joined by John Murphy and my brother Zach as we spiral through a true variety show of topics. We debate 100 men vs. 1 gorilla, revisit the Blue Lagoon in Iceland (and the awkwardness of showering with 100 naked dudes), talk cooking weed, airport security getting way too handsy, and yes—three completely separate stories involving pants being absolutely ruined.It’s chaos, it's hilarious, and it’s exactly what this podcast was made for.New episodes every week.

In this episode of Trailer Fire, Travis talks about the surreal experience of opening for comedy legend Mark Normand, why the internet ruined arguments, and the origin story behind the podcasts name-- yes, it involves an actual trailer fire. Plus, a deep dive into the short lived high school rock band that never played a single show but somehow still has an album photo.

Welcome to Trailer Fire — the podcast that proves you don’t need a blueprint to build something that works… at least for a little while.I’m Travis Stevenson — stand-up comedian, Appalachian escapee, and proud owner of a comedy career held together with duct tape and bad decisions. This show is like the house I grew up in: a bunch of trailers slapped together in the middle of nowhere. Eventually, it didn’t work out — so we burned it down. That’s where Trailer Fire comes from.Every episode, I sit down with comics, creatives, and people chasing something weird and impossible, talking about the messy moments that make them who they are. Sometimes we’re in a studio. Sometimes we’re live on location in the middle of chaos. Wherever it is, it’s real, it’s raw, and it’s usually funny as hell.If you’ve ever built something out of nothing — or felt like the only person making it up as you go — you’ll feel right at home here. And if it all falls apart? Well… we’ll just set it on fire and start over.In this episode we talk about the Alaska B4uDie Comedy Festival, The struggles with getting older, and what happens when you injure your foot in the most bizarre way possible.
