In this episode, I sit down with my comedy partner and close friend Simon Gonzales, who is a Swedish/Spanish comedy legend in Berlin’s stand-up comedy scene.

We talk about:

- The most awkward stage intro ever (after a minute of silence 😳)

- Losing €700 on our first tour date and what we learned from it

- The behind-the-scenes of running shows in Berlin’s comedy scene

- Cultural mashups between Sweden, Spain, and Germany

- Simon’s upcoming comedy documentary project

It’s a mix of laughs, storytelling, and life lessons 😊

In this episode, Berlin-based comedian William Engelhard joins me for a deep dive into his many lives — from studying law and working as a poker dealer in a casino (where he witnessed a €1 million slot machine glitch 😳), to running one of the largest comedy Discord servers, and walking 100km without sleep, just for the sake of it.

We also talk about:

- Performing stand-up in both German and English

- Comedy classes vs. “just doing it”

- Having a stalker because of a Discord ban

- What William learned from Lenny Bruce and why he contacted his daughter

- The mental game of poker, comedy, and long walks

This one’s full of wild stories, laughs, and a surprising amount of stoic philosophy.

In this hilarious and heartfelt episode, I sit down with Berlin-based comedian Richie Schäfer — a former model, world traveler, and now one of Germany’s funniest rising comics.

We dive into everything from bombing on stage to spiritual awakenings, from German vs. English comedy to Richie's wild days working in Korea and Australia.

Richie shares stories of his time performing in front of tough crowds, the struggle between confidence and self-doubt, and how he's using self improvement to improve in comedy. Expect deep laughs, honest reflections, and some "questionable" World War jokes.

🎙 Topics include:

• Finding your comedic flow (and what kills it)

• Why German audiences laugh differently

• The shadow side of being “too nice”

• Spirituality, psychedelics, and Joe Rogan’s influence

• Life lessons from heartbreaks, hangovers, and hustle

• The art of starting before you’re ready

If you love comedy, self-growth, or just want to hear two good friends roast each other while getting philosophical — this one’s for you.
