Message The Jokes by Jo Show


In this episode of the Jokes by Jo show, host Josiah James and co-host Doug McHizzle welcome guest comedian Sam Grim, the second funniest comedian in Lehigh Valley. They discuss a myriad of topics including the nuances of crowd work, the stress and rewards of comedy competitions, the portrayal of bizarre comedic scenarios, and the comedic landscape's shift due to social media. The episode is peppered with hilarious anecdotes, edgy jokes, and a critical take on Instagram's impact on joke delivery. The trio also delves into personal experiences, like Josiah's memorable (and regrettable) pants-dropping incident on stage and Doug's one-of-a-kind joke retirement strategy.
