Author: The MESH April 5, 2023 Duration: 1:06:01
Originally from PA and now living in TX, singer/songwriter/author, Drew Kennedy and I randomly met at the Austin airport when he noticed my Tim Williams Band hoodie. I was heading home and he was heading to Ireland to write songs in a castle (the most badass sentence I ever heard someone say.) At the airport, we immediately started chatting about the similarities between music and comedy, and we continued that conversation in this episode. From insurance to becoming a full-time musician, we also discuss his songwriting process, our love for 90s alternative, his favorite Phillie (it’ll surprise you!), and of course, a hell-gig story.

Ever wonder what actually happens the moment someone decides to become a comedian? I Guess I’ll Do It with Pat House digs into that exact turning point, pulling up a chair for candid, one-on-one chats with comics about the influences that first made them laugh and the nerve-wracking leap to their very first open mic. Hosted by Pat House from The MESH, each episode stays focused and concise, avoiding long tangents to zero in on a single topic-whether that’s swapping horror stories from grimy comedy club green rooms, debating favorite legendary performers, or unpacking the unique blend of joy and terror that defines life on stage. You’ll hear the real, unvarnished shop talk from working comedians, the kind of stories usually shared after a show over a drink. It’s a backstage pass to the craft, all delivered in short, digestible conversations that get straight to the heart of what drives people to tell jokes for a living. Tune in to this podcast for an authentic, grounded look at the world of stand-up, one specific story at a time.
