Comedian David Kaye joins Steve Cooper for one of the rawest and most inspiring episodes yet. From launching his stand-up career in Pittsburgh to battling addiction and spending two years in prison, David opens up about hitting rock bottom and climbing back with comedy, theater, and grit.
He shares how a can of Aqua Net turned him into a comedy character, how he literally won a comedy club in a Facebook bet, and what it was like performing on a cruise ship that actually sank. Plus, hear about his Dry Bar special, corporate gigs, acting work, and how sobriety and fatherhood became his proudest achievements.
If you're into underdog stories, comedy road tales, and real-life redemption arcs—with a lot of laughs—this one's a must.
