Get ready for a rollicking journey through the world of stand-up comedy with our guest, the hilarious Jon Fisch! You're in for a treat as Jon, with a sparkling career graced by appearances on the Late Show with David Letterman and Stephen Colbert, spills the beans on his comedic expeditions, early days, and the peculiar chemistry between comedy clubs and old bank vaults.
Jon Fisch is not just a comedian; he’s a storyteller who will have you in stitches as he shares his adventures from the smoky comedy clubs of the past to opening gigs for comedy heavyweights like Louis CK. Hear how he navigated the tricky waters of comedy and personal life, and learn why fatherhood has not changed but halted his writing style.

As John transitions from stand-up to podcasting, he reveals the power of collaboration with friends and the influence of comedy greats like Jerry Seinfeld and Louis CK.
