In this episode of Between Bombs, Dan and Larry look back at their chat with Jeremy Alder from Episode 304. They swap stories about why you should always get the full scoop before saying yes to a show, why springing comedy on an unsuspecting crowd is a terrible idea, and when it’s cool (or not) to dive into taboo topics. Spoiler: timing is everything!

Jeremy and Dan sit down for a fun conversation about the importance of finding your people in comedy. They dig into Jeremy’s surprising path from life as a preacher to chasing laughs onstage. Plus, they swap some unforgettable stories — including a New Year’s Eve show that went completely off the rails.

Jeremy Alder

Homeschooled in the heart of Texas by fundamentalist missionary parents with a
penchant for conspiracy theories, Jeremy’s childhood was anything but conventional.
Steeped in a world of alternative facts and fervent beliefs, he learned early on to find
the humor in life’s absurdities.

Now married with children of his own, Jeremy’s material delves into the trials and
tribulations of growing up homeschooled, the complications of religion, the mysteries
of marriage, the chaos of parenting, and the existential crisis of aging—all with a
healthy dose of skepticism and silliness, dry wit and charm.

Bailey started with public speaking, but the desire to do standup had always been there.
