Combining poetry with standup

The comedians paradise

Max Kerwien is a standup comedian, actor, and award winning poet originally from Seattle, Washington. His silly and biting humor has won over audiences all around the world. He has performed at the Hollywood Improv, Second City Hollywood, and the Comedy Underground in Seattle. In 2016 he won the Joan Grayston Poetry Prize. He is best known for his book, "Poems to Ruin Dinner with", and the fact that he is legally no longer allowed to enter Alaska due to a misunderstanding at the border. He performs regularly in clubs and theaters all over the country.

He was a fascinating guest, where we looked at comedians who are being creative outside of the regular setup punchline, looked at how to combine poetry and comedy, what combining poetry and comedy will give you. If you would like to know more about Max, you can reach him on Instagram at @kerwien.
