Built By The Red Stick

In Episode 40 of the Addiction Recovery Podcast Built By The Red Stick, Ronnie Leduff sits down with Brandon Bruffet, a Baton Rouge-based comedian with a powerful story of resilience, redemption, and laughter through the pain. Brandon opens up about his journey through addiction, his path to sobriety, and how stand-up comedy became both a coping mechanism and a platform for healing.

With his raw honesty and sharp wit, Brandon reminds us that humor has a place in even the darkest chapters of life. Now thriving in both the recovery community and the local comedy scene, Brandon uses his story to encourage others who are struggling to hold on and keep going.

This episode dives deep into what it really means to heal, how vulnerability fuels connection, and why addiction recovery isn't just about getting clean—it's about rediscovering who you are. Whether you're in recovery, know someone who is, or just need a reminder that people can change, this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.

As always, Built By The Red Stick is a judgment-free zone where we keep it real, laugh when we can, and always keep the focus on hope and healing.
