Striking Comedy Gold

from Messed-Up To Set-Ups - A MichaelHalcomb.Live Podcast Hosted by Michael Halcomb

Hey, Friends! It’s time for Episode 65 of “The Messed-Up to Set-Ups” podcast! Once again, I’m thrilled to have Louisville-based comedian Big Jake Hovis back with us, sharing his comedic genius and some hilarious on-the-spot jokes. In this episode, we pull back the curtain on joke writing as Jake brings an original joke and we workshop it. After that, we spend some time making up jokes on the spot from random prompts. From Big Jake’s award-winning humor to his wild story about lobsters, this episode is packed with laughter and insights. Join us and discover the art of crafting punchlines. Tune in! By the way, if you have any interest at all in learning to write some jokes or doing stand-up comedy, check out my online joke writing course, “The Joke Writer’s Lab,” HERE.
