Chasing Comedy - Episode 57: My Dad Was Snarf, Stand-Up Hacks, and The Reality of Killing vs Creating

In Episode 57 of Chasing Comedy, Brian Scott McFadden and Dustin Chafin dive into the reality of being a working stand-up comic—when to experiment, when to play it safe, and why even great comedians rely on jokes they’re tired of. Brian also shares hilarious and personal stories about growing up with his dad—the voice of many commerical and cartoon characters like Snarf from ThunderCats—and how that shaped his comedy. It’s a funny, honest look at the grind behind the laughs.
