Ever wondered how the world of comedy evolves and what it takes to build a career in it? Buckle up for an enlightening conversation with Tristan Shae, an emerging comic from Columbus, known for his unique blend of humor and mental health advocacy. As a seasoned comedian myself with over a decade of experience, I join forces with Tristan to take you on a fascinating journey exploring the evolution of comedy, the vibrant Columbus scene, and the grind that goes into making people laugh for a living.

Tristan's dual role as a comic and a counselor provides ample fodder for our discussion. He offers insights on how his professional and personal experiences shape his comedy material, striking a delicate balance between humor and sensitivity. I, too, share my early career trajectory of performing multiple shows across cities, and how comedy served as a therapy for me. This episode is littered with funny and relatable personal stories, providing a sneak peek into the lives of comedians and the ongoing quest for the perfect joke.

As we traverse the comedy landscape, we also navigate the world of podcasting and show production. Here's where Tristan's own podcast, Comedic Behavior Therapy, comes into the spotlight. We delve into the challenges of finding venues, managing tickets, and the emotional rollercoaster that show production often is. And of course, you won't want to miss out on the Fast Fiddy Five, where I put Tristan in the hot seat with five spontaneous questions. So, tune in for an unfiltered backstage pass into the comedy world. Be prepared to laugh, learn, and maybe even see comedy in a new light.
