Darren Carter and fellow comedian Mike Black turn the Pocket Party studio into a full-blown comedy prison — and somehow still manage to drop pure gold.Mike opens up about the wild early days at the Comedy Store, the brutal hustle of breaking in, and the priceless career advice straight from Steve Martin himself. Then the conversation takes a sharp left turn when they relive the insane day 50,000 people had to evacuate Southern California because of a possible massive explosion.From locked-in podcast life to legendary stage stories and dodging real-world disaster, this one is equal parts hilarious, nostalgic, and completely unhinged — exactly how the Pocket Party was meant to be.If you love raw comedian talk, Comedy Store history, and two comics trying to make sense of the chaos outside the studio, hit play.Guest: Mike BlackTopics: Podcast prison life • Steve Martin advice • Early Comedy Store days • 50,000 people evacuating Southern CaliforniaDrop your favorite Steve Martin story or Comedy Store memory in the comments!

Darren Carter and Mike Black are back for Episode 342 of Pocket Party and it’s a wild nostalgia trip! They dive into the new Michael Jackson movie, rank the best (and worst) music biopics including Elvis, Michael Jackson, and Bohemian Rhapsody, then swap hilarious high school prom and senior trip stories. From there it gets even crazier: Disneyland vs. Universal Studios debates, Darren’s very honest “I’m not getting on that ride” list, and plenty of Blues Brothers talk. Non-stop laughs, throwbacks, and theme park chaos — you don’t want to miss this one!Like what I do? Show your support here: https://buymeacoffee.com/darrencarterSign up for my email list so you'll know when I'm performing near you! https://linktr.ee/DarrenCarter I take requests!
