COMEDY SIMP: Episode 025

.

In this epic episode of Comedy Simp, Stephen sits down at Whiskey Mile with Seattle’s own Casey Judson for a night packed with laughs, stories, and behind-the-scenes comedy gold! 🎉 The guys dive into everything from handicapped comedians breaking barriers to their favorite podcasts that keep them inspired and laughing. They share hilarious memories of childhood sports glory (and fails!), discuss the art (and struggle) of producing comedy shows, and even take a nostalgic trip back to the 90s with a shoutout to The Mighty Ducks—Quack! Quack!

.

The conversation keeps rolling with tales of Charlie Sheen, wild times, and “winning,” along with jamming out to old-school music and reminiscing about playing in bands. They also shout out local comic Mike Masilotti’s new book and share some larger-than-life stories about people from Texas, before highlighting their favorite female comics in the Seattle scene. 🤠📚🎸

.

Then, the episode gets even better as featured comedian Corey Bennett jumps in, adding his own flavor to the night. Corey takes us through his journey from growing up in the closed-minded town of Shelton, WA, to making a name for himself on the comedy stages of Seattle and Tacoma. 🌲🏙️ Stephen opens up about being influenced by gay culture from an early age, while Corey talks about finding his voice on stage after years of doing drag and theater. They swap stories about performing in Olympia, the vibe differences between Seattle and Tacoma comedy, and share those unforgettable moments of being on stage for the very first time. 🎭✨
