The Grind of Comedy w/Josh Edelman

from That Was Wild · host Adam Macias

In this episode of That Was Wild, Adam Macias sits down with Josh Edelman to talk about the grind of the comedy world, social media strategy, and how to juggle being a comedian, producer, and documentary filmmaker. From meme-ing the news to producing undiscovered talent at the improv, Josh is here to spill the beans on how he stays prolific and why sometimes it feels like the only way to avoid the crushing weight of existential dread is to stay busy. 🎤💥Josh opens up about his viral documentary Mental Al about Al Lubell, the legendary comedian who mixes dark humor with an alternative style of comedy before it was even cool, and how creating content for social media isn’t always as glamorous as it looks. From Instagram memes to creating viral stand-up videos, Josh gives us an inside look at the trial and error of trying to keep up with the pace of content creation.Plus, Adam and Josh talk about the chaotic world of producing multiple comedy shows and how comedy is often about community building as much as performing. They dive deep into what it’s like being part of a scene that’s constantly evolving - whether it’s through social media clout or a tight-knit comedy club family. So, if you're ready for some behind-the-scenes insights into the real grind of the comedy industry and how social media can make you or break you, hit play, like, subscribe, and share with your friend who thinks they can "do comedy full-time"—but still hasn’t posted their first TikTok. 🎧🔥FollowJosh Edelman - https://www.instagram.com/joshedelmancomedyAdam’s Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@AdamrmacEmail us wild story at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow @thatwaswildpod on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#ComedyGrind #SocialMediaStrategy #ComedyProducer #DocumentaryFilmmaking #ThatWasWild #PodcastHumor #StandUpLife #SocialMediaContent

The Last Outlaws Impact Studios at UTS In a History Lab season like no other, we're pulling on the threads of one of Australia's great misunderstood histories, moving beyond the myths to learn what the Aboriginal brothers Jimmy and Joe Governor faced in both life and death.Australia's budding Federation is the background setting to this remarkable story, that sees the Governor brothers tied to the inauguration of a 'new' nation and Australia's dark history of frontier violence, racial injustice and the global trade and defilement of Aboriginal ancestral remains. This Impact Studios production is a collaboration with the Governor family, UTS Faculty of Law and Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research.The Last Outlaws teamKatherine Biber - UTS Law Professor and Chief InvestigatorAunty Loretta Parsley - Great-granddaughter of Jimmy Governor and the Governor Family Historian Leroy Parsons - Governor descendant, Narrator and Co-WriterKaitlyn Sawrey - Host, Writer and Senior ProducerFrank Lopez - Writer, Managing Next Generation Energy Systems Cambridge University Background Stakeholders working with energy systems have to make complex decisions formulated from risk-based assessments about the future. The move towards more renewables in our energy systems complicates matters even further, requiring the development of an integrated power grid and continuous and steady transformation of the UK power system. Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems. These interdisciplinary approaches are looking to address a range of associated problems, including modelling, prediction, simulation, control, market and mechanism design and optimisation.
