A comedy podcast to help better understand humanity and also to make fart jokes.
Comedy Club Insiders and Comics talk about how to level up in the industry. Produced by Matt W (Stand Up NY Labs)
Comedian Will Noonan started the High Pathetically podcast when he was an emcee/host struggling for stage time in 2013 and continued to update episodes as he travels his way through the comedy world, eventually becoming a full time professional. Recorded mostly in the car driving home from gigs at 3am, this podcast includes heckler audio, and a look inside at the highs and lows of the sometimes ugly, sometimes beautiful, non rich, non famous, comedy life.
