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.
