NOTE: As of this episode, I’m no longer posting my podcasts on YouTube as I’ll be using that platform only for comedy clips and YT Shorts. Going forward, podcast episodes will be found at MichaelHalcomb.Live/Podcast, but also available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and most other dedicated podcast platforms.
Hello, Friend! In this episode of “Messed-Up to Set-Ups",” I sit down again with Herb Kay. We workshop some jokes by digging into the insanity surrounding holidays and some of the traditions connected to them. We also get into the comedic potential of Easter, you know, things like six-foot bunnies and what the future of Valentine’s Day would look like if it were a day of revenge. Here in Part 2 of our chat we also do some on-the-spot comedy and riff on things in the headlines. Tune in!
