Chasing Comedy - Episode 64: Crowd Work, Fake Deaths, and the Delusion of Positive Thinking

Brian Scott McFadden and Dustin Chafin dive into the crowd work takeover and ask whether social media has changed what audiences expect from stand-up comedy. Plus, Dustin shares a bizarre story involving a comedian who was dead…then wasn’t…then apparently was, the guys debate whether comedians actually laugh at roasts, battle social media algorithms, and tackle “chaotic optimism,” manifestation, and the insanity of trying to make a living telling jokes. It’s another unpredictable episode of Chasing Comedy!
