This week Mike welcomes Comedy Cellar friend and comedy star Chris Distefano. Chris shares important lessons in failure: how a bad set got him booked on Letterman, and the advice his wife gave him about not listening to studio executives. Mike and Chris also dissect Chris’s famous 9/11 story, and why Chris’ “worst gig” story involves an actual knife at his throat.

I don't know if I've ever seen Chrissy be this serious on a pod, loved hearing all of this genuine conversation.

He’s genuinely funny and a seems a good person. Check out his 9/11 story and also Christories are pretty funny. His podcast is above average overall, and like all of the really good comedy pods, there are a few misses and some real slam dunks.

Dude distefano might be the literal most likeable guy on the face of the earth. I'm starting to get burnt out on specials ( my fault I'm obsessive about comedy ) his specials and stand up... I don't feel that way. He's just so insanely likeable. He's so honest that even though he isn't really an Everyman... Literally everyone can relate to him. He truly understands how to recognize and talk about the true human experience in such a way that is riveting no matter what. Even when he's not being funny i still want to hear what he has to say. Awesome. And mike this is my first time stumbling on your podcast and i am so happy it exists and very sad i didn't know about it before. Love you man you're one of my favorites. Everything i said about Chris i also feel about you. You guys have different comedy styles obviously but the reason people listen is no matter what, you guys are always actually saying something that's coming from a place that matters. This episode made my night. Thank you so much

Another engaging conversation, and rich story telling. Love how much Chris made Mike laugh. I'll be keeping Chris's father's put your focus on, 'putting-in-the-effort, not on the outcome advice. I love hearing the stories of when you all were developing your talents & abt other older classic comedians I don't know, and abt club owners, booking peeps, etc. Chris's description of Catholic brothers at those all boys schools➡you get detention if your top button is unbuttoned!

I love Chris but more Mike couldn't get 5 words in edgewise. However, it did prompt me to watch his Letterman debut and 9/11 story and he really was (is) so charismatic.

I spoke with a compulsive gambler once who explained that he wasn't addicted to winning. Or even playing. His high came from the experience of losing big and then having to risk some kind of catastrophe to ante back in. Similar to how some junkies can't get high unless scoring involves the risk of violence.

Oh lord, another water cooler shop talk podcast. Comedians, please understand that hours and hours talking about career struggles (with colorful post-it notes in the background to prove it) interest almost nobody. Chris doesn't do any of this on his own podcast, either. There's a limit to what court jesters have to say; in Shakespeare's time, minstrels never attained celebrity even at these lower rungs. And "celebrity" comedians hobnob with producers in a money game. A "one-man show on Broadway" is all about who you know, after years of tactical maneuvering in social circles.
