AFTER HOURS: SUPERCAST W/ Bt Kingsley, London Brown, & Justin Hires | The Underground Lounge

On this episode of Underground Lounge: After Hours, the lounge turns into a master class in comedy, survival, and self-belief as comedians and actors BT Kingsley, London Brown, and Justin Hires from the KillinIt Pod pull up for an unfiltered, wide-ranging conversation.

The fellas dive deep into their individual journeys, coming up in comedy, grinding through auditions, booking commercials, and learning how to navigate Hollywood when the rules are constantly changing. They break down the reality of being talented but overlooked, the frustration of waiting for “permission,” and why creating your own opportunities has become the real cheat code in today’s industry.

From early YouTube days and stand-up stages to television roles, film projects, and podcasting, the conversation touches on ego, rejection, money, loyalty, and the mental toughness it takes to stay in the game long enough to win. They compare comedy to professional sports, talk about knowing your role while still believing you belong at the highest level, and give honest insight into how artists can get boxed in, or break free.

As only After Hours can deliver, the episode is packed with raw laughs, industry stories, and hard truths about fame, friendships, and financial growth. It’s funny, reflective, and occasionally reckless, but always real. Whether you’re chasing a creative dream or just love hearing how the sausage gets made, this episode gives you a rare behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to keep killing it.
