Comedic Persona, Joke Structure, & Performing Stand-Up

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!
