STAND DOWN
STAND DOWN is a podcast about the love/hate relationship with comedy and why stand-ups stand down. Sure stand-up comedy is a wonderful art form beyond compare, etc. but it can shred some people up like tender barbacoa. There are countless incredible comics that had to stop because life happened. Sometimes, part of doing comedy, is not doing comedy. Hosted by Daniel Reskin, a 13 year stand-up comic figuring out what he wants out of comedy, and life.
