Jon Laster has been making crowds leave with their stomach’s hurting for years at the Comedy Cellar in NYC. He’s one of the pound for pound best comics in the biz, and one of my dearest friends. We talk about being grinders and not looking at the other horses in the horse race that is comedy. We dig deep into finding peace when performers you know aren’t as talented as you get things over you.
The show ends with Jon opening up about how important it was for him to get fired from working a casino, and being told he wasn’t saying anything from someone he respects.
