This week on The Comicpat Podcast I caught up with my friend Mark Riccadonna, and we covered everything: the road gigs, NYC hustle, cruise‑ship life, authenticity in stand-up comedy, aging in the business, wrestling‑level wear‑and‑tear, haunted film shoots, and why being likable in a comedy club might matter more than being funny.

We even got into the popularity of crowd work, corporate gig weirdness, and the movies that make comics question their life choices.

If you love behind‑the‑curtain comedy talk, the real stuff, not the Instagram‑version, then this one’s for you. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

This week Pat sat down with comedian Davin Rosenblatt about his unique mission: wasting scammers’ time, money, and patience by pretending to be naive and spinning elaborate fake personas. From ghost hunters to fake Elon Musk, Davin turns scammer schemes into comedy gold, and awareness tools.

We dug into:

Scammer Combat Strategies: how Davin helps victims (like an Australian woman targeted by a fake U.S. officer) and exposes “pig butchering” crypto scams.

Scam Awareness Tips: caller ID tricks, AI-driven fraud, and the red flags behind too-perfect profiles.

Disarming Blackmail Scams: Davin’s tactic of sending fake explicit images to neutralize extortion attempts, and my own run-in with a blackmailer.

Comedy & Industry Realities: the evolving landscape of “specials,” stagnant pay rates, and the grind of staying fresh while the industry shifts.

Upcoming Projects: Davin’s scripted show Fake Davin, reality series Fake Davin the Fight Back, and his stand-up special Standing Up to Scammers,  all aimed at turning the tables on fraudsters.

Between scam-busting strategies and comedy career truths, this conversation was equal parts eye-opening and hilarious.
