The Mushroom Set

Finding Me with Josh Wolf — Episode 36 The Mushroom Set This week, Josh comes clean about the highest he’s ever been on stage. And yes… it happened this past weekend in Kansas City. We’re calling it The Mushroom Set. What started as a normal night of stand-up quickly turned into something far more unpredictable — a surreal experience that Josh had to navigate in real time, in front of a live audience. Thankfully, Jacob was there, offering a running commentary and helping capture the moment as things drifted into… unusual territory. Because when your brain is operating on a completely different frequency than the room, there’s really only one option: Stay present. Trust your instincts. And keep moving forward. But this episode isn’t just about one wild night. Josh also digs into what keeps him committed to stand-up after all these years — the work behind the work. The constant push to stay fresh. To take risks. To avoid autopilot. Because for Josh, the real challenge isn’t just making the audience laugh. It’s making sure the material still feels alive to him. New ideas. New risks. New ways to stay creatively uncomfortable.
