After over 4 years of podcasting, our most popular question has been "what is your favorite boo story?" So in honor of 2020, we're starting the year off with our top 10 bombing stories. Hearing successful comics shares their struggles helps us all to feel less alone in this comedy game.

I remember hearing Jerry Seinfeld say, the hard shows help you edit and the easy shows help you write. The only way to truly learn comedy is by doing it. Comedy is a language you learn by exercising it on stage as much as possible. Every experience on stage is a valuable experiment. So whether you kill or bomb you still learned.

Listening to this episode is a valuable reminder that failure is the best teacher.
