Comedian and podcast host Paul Virzi joins Next to Madison for a real, hilarious conversation about comedy, relationships, and the myths we believe about success.

Paul shares what years of stand-up, marriage, and fatherhood have taught him about pressure, expectations, and why “making it” doesn’t magically solve your internal stuff. We talk about balancing ambition with real life, staying grounded in a chaotic industry, and the moments that keep comedians honest — onstage and off.

This episode is funny, thoughtful, and refreshingly human — the kind of conversation that reminds you why laughter and perspective matter just as much as achievement.
