Despite being a Yankees fan, Meghan Hanley and I still manage to have a great conversation about her career and all things comedy. From watching The Muppets and Chris Rock to comedy classes to cruise ships, we discuss her interest in comedy that eventually led to her getting on stage and where it’s taken her. As always, I ask for a hell-gig story and she did not disappoint. Be on the lookout for her special when it gets released later this year! Really fun chat; give it a listen!

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.
