Four comedians. No filters.<br /><br />David C. Smalley, J. Mandyam, Jeff Horste, and Jason Collings dive into the real debates happening inside stand-up comedy right now:<br /><br />– Is crowd work authentic… or strategically prepped?<br />– Are comics writing full hour specials anymore?<br />– Is everyone just chasing viral 60-second clips?<br />– What happens when a comic breaks down after being heckled?<br />– And what were the worst day jobs before making it in comedy?<br /><br />This is the real behind-the-scenes conversation comedians have after the show. No crowd. No filter. Just comics talking shop.<br /><br />⸻<br /><br />Serious Circus Podcast<br /><br />Follow the comics:<br /><br />David C.
