My Drunk Uncle Lazer
from So Funny it Hurts Hosted by Mikalah Gordon
I once believed that comedy was all about the punchline, but after spending an hour chatting with the quirky comedian Uncle Lazer, I've learned that it's so much more. It's about authenticity, resilience, self-deprecation and, surprisingly, wrestling fandom. Uncle Lazer takes us on a wild ride through his life, from his early days in a small, cow-dense town to becoming a viral TikTok sensation. We discuss his stand-up comedy journey, and how he's learned to deal with bombing and criticism, while laughing our way through some of his most hilarious anecdotes. With Uncle Lazer, it's not all fun and games. His personal life has played a significant role in shaping his comedic style. The impact of his parents' divorce, his brother's experience as a band lead singer, and his own escapades with psychedelics and hot yoga, all contribute to his unique art of storytelling. His love for music also resonates throughout our conversation, revealing a deeper element to this wildly hilarious personality. We explore how he manages the balance between having a good time and staying focused on his career goals. As we wrap up, Uncle Lazer opens up about his struggles and his approach to self-care. He shares how he quit drinking due to health reasons but still remains a social drinker, and how he incorporates hot yoga into his routine to manage his anxiety. His authentic approach to comedy and life is a breath of fresh air in our overly curated world. For a dose of raw laughter and life lessons, join us on this week's episode, you'd be in for a treat!
