🔥🔥🔥 Episode 58 of the Comedy Simp Podcast is here, and it’s a wild ride! 🚀🚀🚀 Hosted by comedian Stephen Michael James, who’s been around the block a few times and still trying to figure out life, this episode features a lively chat outside the Whiskey Mile in Kirkland, WA. 😂🍻
.
Stephen is joined by local rising star Jason Katz — and their conversation is packed with stories, struggles, and plenty of laughs. 🎤✨ Jason shares his strategies for blowing up online, probably more effective than Stephen’s early TikTok trials. 🤘️🔥 He talks about moving back in with his parents, discovering his Jewish roots via DNA test, and trying stand-up early on with mixed results. 💥🌎
.
They reminisce about their first double-dip open mic nights — two mics in one evening — which they both count as some of their biggest achievements. 🎤🎤 Stephen shares how a joint once led to a memorable moment (or a lost memory). 🌿🤪
.
The discussion gets surreal as they talk about alien sightings — Stephen’s childhood gas in the sky, Jason’s weather balloon in San Diego — maybe the universe is trying to tell them something, or maybe they just need some sleep. 👽🌥️✨
.
Midway through, Rob Conroy joins the chaos, sharing wild LA comedy stories and more thoughts about Happy Gilmore 2. Stephen also pitches a throwback idea for a modern comedy film starring him and Rob as would-be kidnappers trying to pull off a scam — a nod to those classic 90s comedies, with plenty of chaos and bad decisions. 🎬🤪🔥
.
They also speculate about what social media and stand-up comedy will look like in 2025 and debate which Seattle comedian has the most interesting mind. 💡🤯🔥
.
This episode is a chaotic, hilarious roundtable of comedians on the rise, full of stories, advice, and Stephen’s ongoing attempts to stay relevant in a confusing world. 🚀🔥😂
