Ep. 9 - Sam Miller Has An Important Message About Meth - I Mean Comedy

Jokes and the Gym: Episode 9 with Sam Miller

What’s up fitness freaks and funny folks! This week on Jokes and the Gym, I hang out with fellow comedian and pal, Sam Miller, a dude who can lift a mic with the best of em. We dive deep into the world of stand-up, from building a laugh-loving community to surviving the brutal and (hopefully) hilarious world of comedy clubs.

Here's the skinny on our unpackables:

• From couch potato to comedy commando: We chat about Sam's fitness journey, including how he traded his previous addiction (ohh, just meth) for comedy and cardio (and his beloved yoga). Spoiler alert: physical activity is good for you, and makes you feel good! (As good as meth? Maybe!)
• Sharing your story is your superpower: We delve into the power of bringing personal experiences to the stage. Turns out, being relatable and authentic is kinda key to making people laugh.
• The comedy scene: it's not all laughs and applause: We dish on navigating the ups and downs of stand-up, from dealing with drama queens and cancel culture to creating original material (without accidentally stealing someone else's joke).
• Finding your comedy groove: We discuss the joys and challenges of headlining shows, the ever-evolving edgelord comedy trend, and balancing your personal life with your passion for making people laugh.
• The business of joking around: We talk about setting goals as a comedian, the elusive recognition and awards, and the double-edged sword of social media.
• Because laughter is the best medicine (besides exercise, probably): We wrap things up with some lighthearted banter, a healthy dose of comedic self-reflection, and some hilarious pieces of advice from Sam himself.

Remember, folks: Building a community takes time and effort, but the rewards are worth it. Chugga chugga!
