Used Cars, Radio & Stand-Up: How Alex Carr Ended Up Here

Comedian and former radio host Alex Carr joins Steven Malkowich for a funny, wide-ranging conversation about the strange career path that took him from fast food, hotel work and used-car sales to radio and stand-up comedy.Alex talks about selling cable door-to-door in Detroit, working at X92.9, CFOX and 102.1 The Edge, finding comedy material in everyday life, Vancouver’s stand-up scene, crowd work and whether Canadian comedians can actually make a living doing comedy.They also get into the changing radio business, B.C. politics, David Eby, wildfires, Trump, Canada-U.S. tariffs and whether political comedy still lands with Canadian audiences.It’s less of an interview and more of a great conversation about comedy, careers and somehow ending up exactly where you’re supposed to be.Ship of Fools Podcast — Where Wit Meets Wisdom.
