Paris Sashay

I love in-depth conversations about the art of standup. This podcast provides the right balance of  “inside baseball” talk with comics. I appreciate this kind of chat and interviews because comics usually steer away from talking too in-depth about joke writing, stage craft etc. on other podcasts. I’m just a spectator but like hearing about the craft of standup so this is the kind of comedy podcast I was looking for. And, of course, the comics interviewed are funny interesting people at different points in their career so it’s a fun listen for anyone remotely interested in standup.

Good for standup inside baseball

Yeah!
