#53 - Kate Dore talks generational trauma, cancel culture in comedy, Louis CK & comedy classes

Episode #53 of Good Times Noodle Salad gets real fast as Matt and Paige are joined by comedian Kate Dore for one of the most emotional — and hilarious — conversations yet.What starts as a deep dive into stand-up comedy quickly turns into something heavier, as the trio unpack generational trauma, childhood experiences, and how those things shape not just who you are, but how you perform on stage. A talk about Matt's kids going through their own trauma leads to Matt and Kate both crying.They also get into the realities of comedy culture — from why “cancel culture” doesn’t stick in stand-up the way people think, to giving flowers to comics they respect, including Louis CK and Dave Attell.Plus, they talk about coming up in the scene, including what it’s like taking Bill Bushart’s 101 class at Mark Ridley’s Comedy Castle and how it helps shape new comics in the Detroit area.It’s raw, it’s funny, it’s uncomfortable in the best way — and it’s one of those episodes that sticks with you.Support the show
