#55- Charles Hill talks near death experience, giving Matt his first stage time, insane puke stories

Episode #55 of Good Times Noodle Salad brings it full circle with special guest Charles Hill—a comic who didn’t just grind his way into the scene, but helped build it from the ground up.Charles takes us back to how he first got started in comedy and what inspired him to launch the open mic at One Night Stan’s—creating opportunities for comics who just needed a shot… including Matt, who got his very first stage time thanks to Charles. From that moment to now, the stories come full circle in the best way.Speaking of stories—Matt goes on an all-time run of puke stories that gets so vivid it actually makes Charles nauseous in real time. It’s disgusting, hilarious, and completely on-brand chaos.But the episode also takes a serious turn as Charles shares a deeply personal and traumatic experience—nearly suffocating from a bad reaction to medication before surgery. That moment became a turning point in his life, ultimately pushing him toward stand-up comedy and giving him a new perspective that still shapes his material today.We also get into Charles’ time on the Mic-O-Holics tour, life on the road, and what it really takes to stick with comedy through the highs and lows.It’s a mix of origin stories, near-death experiences, gross-out comedy, and real-deal perspective—exactly the kind of ride GTNS is built for.Support the show
