Danny Jolles takes Kayla Becker and Vanessa Curry on a hilarious journey through the intersections of comedy and acting, revealing how witnessing Kevin Hart's first-ever comedy special completely redirected his career path. "I went to NYU to be a dramatic actor, studying the Method where Robert De Niro and Al Pacino studied. Then I saw Kevin Hart perform, and the next day, I quit everything else to focus entirely on stand-up."

Currently appearing on HBO's "Hacks" as writer Nate opposite Jean Smart, Danny shares behind-the-scenes insights about his time on "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" and the surprisingly elaborate preparation behind his small but memorable role in Damien Chazelle's "Babylon." His five-month commitment to mastering an antique typewriter for a brief scene showcases the dedication that's made him a director's favorite.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Danny discusses his innovative stand-up special "You Choose" – a choose-your-own-adventure comedy experience where viewers select which opinions they want to hear him express. "I'm so proud of it as an artistic piece. Career-wise, we could call it a failure, but artistically, I stand by it as one of the coolest pieces ever made." This experimental approach to comedy highlights Danny's willingness to push boundaries while honoring comedy traditions, from Jerry Lewis to Dane Cook.

Throughout our chat, Danny demonstrates the quick wit and thoughtful perspective that's earned him spots on the nation's biggest comedy stages. Whether discussing the unexpected kindness of comedy legends like Bill Burr or revealing what it's really like working with difficult co-stars, his insights are both entertaining and illuminating.

Don't miss Danny on tour across the country, and remember his parting wisdom: "Stand-up comedy is like hockey – it's great to watch on TV, but it's so much better in person." Find your local comedy club, look up the next few comics, and experience the magic live.
