    Mar 22 2026

    In Episode 50 of Chasing Comedy, the guys dive into the realities of performing stand-up on cruise ships—breaking down the highs, the challenges, and the art of adapting to wildly different crowds. From there, they riff their way into developing new material, including a hilarious time travel premise about fixing bad sets and missed opportunities.

    They also explore the tricky balance of political humor, punch up bits about cults and “drinking the Kool-Aid,” and dig into everyday absurdities like germs, buffets, and post-pandemic social habits. It’s a raw, funny, behind-the-scenes look at how comedians build jokes in real time.
