Episode 005 ENERGY – Caitlin Peluffo: “I’m sliding off my chair.”

Author: Jeff McBride & Harrison Tweed June 1, 2017 Duration: 1:05:54
Caitlin Peluffo is a machine gun of audience-loving funny, a “lovable loose cannon." She’s a Wonder Woman at working with audience energy, so this episode is dedicated to “ENERGY." Comics talk endlessly about energy, whether or not they are New Age crystal masters. What do they mean by it? How do you manage it? How do you read it? And since Caitlin is so funny and endearing, the three comedians laughed and joked their way through this entire recording. As a result, you’re going to love it. ABOUT THE GUEST COMIC Caitlin is quick-witted, disarming comedian based in Brooklyn whose sense of humor about herself is downright infectious. So it's not surprising that she's done so well at many comedy festivals and competitions around the country. Peluffo has also been seen on NBC's Seeso in "New York's Funniest" and performed with Gilbert Gottfried, Gary Gulman, and the late Kevin Meany. Although she focuses on her love of “dating” and her lack of self control, no subject is off limits. And she just had her callback for the Just for Laughs Festival here in New York!

Ever wonder what really happens in the green room or how a joke evolves from a scribble on a napkin to a roaring crowd? That’s the territory Let's Talk About Sets! explores. Hosted by New York City comedians Jeff McBride and Harrison Tweed, this podcast feels more like a late-night conversation after a show than a formal lecture. They peel back the curtain on the so-called "science" behind stand-up, treating the craft with both reverence and a healthy dose of playful skepticism. Each episode digs into the mechanics of writing, the psychology of performing, and the sheer unpredictability of live comedy. You’ll hear from fellow comics in candid interviews that are less about grand career stories and more about the specific, often messy, details of building a set. It’s an education in comedy, but one filled with laughter, failed punchlines, and genuine curiosity. Whether you're an aspiring performer or just someone who loves to understand how the magic is made, this podcast offers a unique, insider’s view of the work that goes into making people laugh. Tune in for a mix of shop talk, personal stories, and practical insights, all delivered with the easy rapport of two friends who live and breathe this world.
