Description

It’s Episode #50 of the Messed-Up To Set-Ups Podcast! How sick is that?!?! 50 episodes and they’re all FREE! And, for this milestone, we’ve got a killer episode. Join me as I sit down with Mike Byrd, a NC-based comedian, an insanely talented roaster, and one of the few guys I know who’s about as obsessed with joke structure as I am. We dive into his journey into comedy but also get into the nuts and bolts of it all, from comedic persona to joke writing to performing stand-up. This is a super fun episode that gives you insight into the comedy life. Tune in!

And…if you’re interested at all in learning to write jokes, check out my online course titled “The Joke Writer’s Lab,” which you can get HERE.
