Balancing Work, Life, & Comedy

A Chat with Comedian Michael Saltz, Pt. 1 (Messed-Up to Set-Ups #90)

Hello, Friends! I’m stoked to share Episode #90 of The Messed-Up to Set-Ups podcast with you. In this episode, I sit down with Michael Saltz, a New York-based nurse, firefighter, and clean comedian. During our chat, we get into how he first got started at a firehouse comedy show, the value of capturing attention quickly, and the challenge of balancing comedy with the busyness of life. We also talk about the importance of honest feedback, embracing vulnerability, and why supporting fellow comedians is essential. This episode is packed with practical advice on what it takes to succeed in comedy. Tune in!

JOKE WRITING COURSE: By the way, if you have any interest at all in learning about your persona, how to write some jokes, or doing stand-up comedy, check out my online joke writing course, “The Joke Writer’s Lab,” HERE.

JOKE MEMORY COURSE: My companion course to “The Joke Writer’s Lab” is now live: “The Comedian’s Memory Lab.” Never get nervous about blanking on stage again! This method works for 10 jokes or 100, a set that’s 3 minutes of 1 hour. You can get it HERE.
