Description

Hi, Friends! It’s episode 80 of the Messed-Up to Set-Ups podcast. In this one, I sit down with the multi-talented comedian David Kaye, who has not only made a name for himself in the world of stand-up but has also raised over three-and-a-half million dollars through his unique comedy fundraisers. We dive into his journey from starting out at the Funny Bone in Pittsburgh to becoming a comedy club journeyman, and how he transitioned into the fundraising business. He shares his insights on the challenges of clean comedy, the importance of having a plan, and the creative process behind his jokes. I’m telling you now: this episode is packed with laughter and valuable lessons. You don’t wanna miss it. Tune in!
