In this podcast I ask the big questions, What is comedy? Who is it, and why is it?
To help me I’ve enlisted the help of comedians, performers, promoters, and fans like myself, to discuss what comedy means to them, and to sum all their experience up in a nutshell.
Please remember to like, subscribe, rate, review and share. Thank you!
