Warwick Life host Scott Nerney talks with rising standup comedian Jim Small.

After a 32-year career in retail, Jim Small turned John Perrotta's $200 Comedy Class into an out-of-the-ordinary retirement plan. Hear about the surprising way Jim paid for his class, who his favorite comedian is, how to make jokes out of real life experiences, about bringing his 80-year-old mother to his shows, where he’s performed, and how you can follow him.
