Episode Overview

Comedian Cal Donagan, a rising Kill Tony star, joins Joe for a chaotic and funny conversation that includes Elon Musk's flamethrower, going on tour through Boston, Vermont, Philadelphia, and Vegas, and what it's like to be the face of a chaotic Monday night comedy showcase. Joe can barely speak by the end — Cal is relentless. The conversation weaves through crowd work techniques, stand-up philosophy, what it means to have your Instagram become a meme in its own right (caldonagon1), and the strange alchemy of the Kill Tony format where one night you're nobody and the next you're getting roasted on a show with a million viewers. Cal's energy is a preview of what to expect from a comedian clearly ascending.
