S1 E34 - Michael Isaacs - Chews on an Atmosphere of Awkwardness

S1 - E34 - Michael Isaacs - Chews on an Atmosphere of Awkwardness while remaining true to his muses. Embracing the absurdities of life in a dry satirical way can help a comedian find a loyal following over time, but there will be nights when the audience just doesn't get it. Michael Isaacs isn't phased by those nights. He gets vulnerable with us as he shares how he has coped with ADD, some OCD and obsessive thoughts by using comedy and other strategies like getting lost in a great book. Comedy has helped him express some of those thoughts and feel appreciated for them. Celebrating the creative gifts that are often on the other side of the challenge coin.
