Description

Y’all, it’s Episode #60 of The Messed-Up to Set-Ups Podcast! In this episode, I sit down with comedian Adam Minnick and we dig into his 20-year journey in stand-up comedy. We discuss the challenges of balancing family life with late-night gigs, the value of working clean, and the art of crowd work. Adam shares his experiences from bombing his first open mic to finding his comedic voice, and offers advice for aspiring comedians. Join us for a super candid conversation, some laughs, and get insight into the world of stand-up comedy.

Also, if you’re interested in learning to write some jokes or how to get into stand-up comedy, check out my online course, “The Joke Writer’s Lab,” HERE.
