Finding Your R.A.P. (Regular-Ass Purpose) with Guest: Comedian, Mike Knight | PT3

Part 3 closes out this series with the good stuff — the artist stuff. The part where we talk about being brave enough to be yourself onstage, even when your brain is pitching twelve different exit strategies. Mike opens up about how he works with fear instead of fighting it, why authenticity is the only thing that actually lands with an audience, and how he keeps showing up even when the jitters come in hot.

We also touch on his two podcasts, The Real RAP (Regular Ass People) and A Professor and a Comedian Walk into a Bar at Northwestern, plus what he’s building next in his comedy life. 

Mike is a Chicago-based comedian who has performed at Riddles, Laugh Factory, the Omaha Funny Bone, University of Illinois, and Monticello in Atlanta. He has that rare, grounded presence that makes you feel like he’s talking with you, not at you, which is why people love him onstage and behind a mic.

This 3-part conversation with Mike is funny, real, deep, and gives us all permission to be our regular-ass selves.

SPEAKER_02 0:06

Oh my god, I love it. You're listening to the Spiritual Shit Show Podcast with Suzanne Sol, episode 72. Hey you guys! Welcome to the Spiritual Shit Show Podcast, where we get into the wild ass ride. The healing and spiritual awakening journey can be. I'm your host, Suzanne Sol, comedian, lifelong spiritual student, and I'm sharing some of the awesome shiz I've learned along my journey that has helped me and that I hope helps you too. Well Welcome to part three of my conversation with a funny, wise, and talented Mike Knight, Chicago-based comedian and podcaster. If you're just joining us, Mike is a Chicago-based comic and host of the Real Rap Regular Ass People podcast and co-host of a professor and a comedian walk into a bar, a show out of Northwestern University, and a real swell guy. In part three, Mike and I talk shap about comedy and creativity and dig into what it means to be authentic in our work, and how to bring our actual self on stage when fear and anxiety are very much a part of the whole thing. How presence and honesty shape his performance and what it looks like to stay grounded whilst doing work that is both vulnerable and hilarious. And we talk about what's next for Mike as a comedian. Let's get into it, shall we? Mike, are you there? It's May Suzanne.

SPEAKER_01 1:42

And if you start to pander to us or ask us for acceptance.

SPEAKER_02 1:47

Yeah. Or get mad. I've seen some comedians get pissed off.

SPEAKER_01 1:50

If you turn that on turn on us, forget it.

SPEAKER_02 1:52

You're done.

SPEAKER_01 1:53

Forget about it. So just keep your feet moving, keep talking. Yeah. And just and in that way, all right, wasn't funny, but kept his feet move, kept going, kept talking. I respect you. Hey, you stuck in there, keep at it.

SPEAKER_02 2:06

Yeah, and and what I'm hearing is the audience will meet you where you're at.

SPEAKER_01 2:10

We'll meet you wherever you're at.

SPEAKER_02 2:12

Just be your where you are authentically, and they will they will go.

SPEAKER_01 2:18

Yeah. One of the worst thing one of the worst things you can do is some variation of, oh, well, that joke killed an acronym. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:27

I mean, it is. And when when you start to uh and there's a comic up there that's kind of now starting to berate the audience, you're like, okay, what okay, how many more? I'm gonna go to the bathroom. Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 2:40

Yeah. And I I'm not a and and who am I? I'm nobody to judge anybody's uh the the way they the way they make their donuts. Um but when somebody acknowledges that it's a joke, that disappoints me as an audience.

SPEAKER_02 2:54

Oh, yes, yes, yes.

SPEAKER_01 2:55

Because there's a part of me, I look, I know there's no rabbit in the hat. Right. I know you didn't disappear and reappear. Right. I know you didn't make the Statue of Liberty uh, you know, put on overalls, but when I'm watching, I'm suspending disbelief.

SPEAKER_02 3:08

Right, right.

SPEAKER_01 3:09

I know Arnold Schwarzenegger's not a metal robot that traveled through time. Like they'll say this is a joke or that was yeah, like when somebody says, Oh, I I told that joke uh yesterday the thing. It just it's like, oh, you're telling me it's magic.

SPEAKER_02 3:23

Okay, exactly, exactly.

SPEAKER_01 3:24

Like I I'm a magician, you're a magician, I know it's magic. Right. Don't tell me though. That's let me just let me just believe.

SPEAKER_02 3:31

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 3:32

Let me just believe that you you made a rabbit magically appear in your hat. That's just a tidbit.

SPEAKER_02 3:37

Yeah, no, it's great. It's great. And it's almost like you're projecting onto the audience your own insecurity.

SPEAKER_01 3:44

That's what it is. Yeah. I think that's what it is. There's something, there's something about them that I don't like about me. Right.

SPEAKER_02 3:52

Yeah, they're reflecting something back about myself that it's like.

SPEAKER_01 3:56

And I'm like, oh no. Yes, that's exactly what it is. Yeah, that's why I don't like it. Yeah. Oh, you put a piece of the puzzle together in my own.

SPEAKER_02 4:06

Yeah, um, you know, um, I was talking with uh my guest that I I recorded here yesterday, and we were talking about when you're putting something out there, you know, and it doesn't and it flops or whatever, because we all have that, you know, to the the uh the embarrassment. Oh, yeah, you know, and we kind of came to this understanding where it's like it's really only a conversation I'm having with myself because no one else remembers what happened to like yes tomorrow, maybe five minutes from now. You know, people think about us a lot less than we think they're gonna be. Yes, yes. So the the relationship to the embarrassment is between us and ourselves.

SPEAKER_01 4:46

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 4:47

So I thought that was like that's kind of liberating.

SPEAKER_01 4:49

It is that same movie, Terminator. I was just talking about a line that stuck with me since 1980 something. It's in the very beginning, Sarah Connor is working her job, she's a waitress, she's having the worst day imaginable, right? And she's serving this table. A little kid takes his scoop of ice cream and dumps it in her waitress apron, right? Yes, and she's just like, oh, the humanity. She's walking away, and her friend at the job goes, Hey, look at it like this. A hundred years from now, nobody's gonna care.

SPEAKER_03 5:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:22

And it did that one I I always heard that, and then one day it just snapped at me, and I was like, Yeah, that is absolutely the truth.

SPEAKER_02 5:29

Yeah, the narrative is between us and ourselves.

SPEAKER_01 5:33

Us and ourselves. You know, a hundred minutes from now, nobody's gonna care.

SPEAKER_02 5:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:37

So I'm putting I'm putting a lot more weight on it than than I should be.

SPEAKER_02 5:41

It's the meaning that we're making from whatever's occurring. And it's like someone could say something to us because they were in a shitty mood and they didn't even think about it, and then we think it's a reflection of ourselves. Yes. And it's like not that we don't want to take feedback like from people we know and love and trust and people who have wisdom and reflect on it. But as far as being like, I'm this and I'm that and I'm doing terrible because they said this, and it was like, and they're like, I just had a really bad headache, and it's just kind of easy.

SPEAKER_01 6:11

It just so happens, yeah. Yeah, it's easy to forget that everybody's a star of their own movie.

SPEAKER_02 6:15

Yes, that's right. That is correct.

SPEAKER_01 6:18

You know how many times I'm I'm on the highway and somebody tosses me the middle finger, blows their horn at me, and I'm like, I don't remember any of them anymore. Not a single one of them. Exactly. But at that moment, they're like, we're going to walk. I could have I could have thrown a recycling bin at them. And been fine. And it's it's done, it's over with. They're off living their life somewhere, right? Haven't thought about it since then, neither have we. Neither have you, right?

SPEAKER_02 6:46

But in that moment, trigger We're going to war.

SPEAKER_03 6:54

I'm losing it.

SPEAKER_01 6:55

And how many people take even just that one moment, a middle finger or a horn honk, and now I see them in my phone making the worst decisions possible. Changing their life. Like some people can't regulate that.

SPEAKER_02 7:10

I mean, if in that moment, that is, you know, when people they're so triggered and they act from it, and then they change, ruin, and their lives.

SPEAKER_01 7:21

I've for for in that addict uh behavior, I've found there's so many things you can be addicted to. Yeah. And I've I've I've I feel like I've met people who are addicted to anger as well.

SPEAKER_02 7:33

Absolutely. Rageaholic.

SPEAKER_01 7:35

That yeah, absolutely. I know some. The ones where it's like uh their their threshold is low, and then once it's there, it can feed on itself.

SPEAKER_02 7:47

Correct.

SPEAKER_01 7:48

And then just keep going and going and going, and that's quite literally me with with drinking.

SPEAKER_02 7:54

Yes, me as well.

SPEAKER_01 7:56

Two beers and and a shot for that person. Oh, that's that's not even a handshake for me.

SPEAKER_02 8:03

Yeah, that's just like we're just warming up.

SPEAKER_01 8:05

Yeah, that's that's just the high, how you doing.

SPEAKER_02 8:08

Yes, yeah, I would blackout as well, and at the end of my career, my drinking career, it was pretty much a guarantee if I opened uh a bottle of wine or poured myself a drink or got a drink somewhere, I was going to be in blackout by the end of the night. Oh yeah, and wake up and go, not really sure what happened.

SPEAKER_01 8:27

Yeah, you know. One of my uh second city uh coaches told me this, and I'm sure it's wide known. What is it? Uh uh a hundred drinks is uh not enough and one drink is too many.

SPEAKER_02 8:41

Yes, correct. Correct. Yes, yeah. Once you it's like I I think that I had that's the same experience with alcohol in that once I had one, I I literally couldn't get enough in me.

SPEAKER_01 8:56

Yes. And I I was talking to somebody recently, um, another sober person, and I I was telling him, I was like, I don't know, I don't know if I used to make bad decisions because I was drinking, or I was drinking so that I could make bad decisions.

SPEAKER_02 9:11

I really want to make bad decisions, but I can't do it sober.

SPEAKER_01 9:14

I w I want to do that thing, but I shouldn't. So this Michael wouldn't do it.

SPEAKER_02 9:19

Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 9:20

I'll be back though.

SPEAKER_02 9:22

I'll be back in about 30.

SPEAKER_01 9:24

Let me go over here and get that other mic.

SPEAKER_02 9:26

That's right, that's right. Yeah. My my mic. Mr. High. Mr. High, that's exactly what I was thinking.

SPEAKER_01 9:33

Doctor here, I'll be right back.

SPEAKER_02 9:36

I'll have to go talk to Jack Daniels.

SPEAKER_01 9:38

I'll have to go check out check on my pharmacist real quick. Experiment, my good man.

SPEAKER_02 9:47

Keep them coming. Winto green over. Take winto green on the mouth. Well, I will say this. They're tea feeling. Even though they have ulcers on them. So I know you have a few podcasts yourself.

SPEAKER_01 10:12

Yes. I have currently, which I have to have you on. Um I have uh the Real Rap Podcast. The rap is an acronym that stands for regular ass people. Um say it one more time. Regular ass people. I love it.

SPEAKER_02 10:27

Yes. I'm a regular ass person.

SPEAKER_01 10:29

Yeah, I would like to think most of us are. I would hope so. Um, and then that one's kind of the loose one. It's just myself. Um, I like to interview um and and talk with uh other creatives, but also, you know, people uh in general I've had on lawyers, doctors. Uh I'm talking to the guys. There's a couple of good guys at the fire station right down the way. I'm trying to have them on. Nice. Um, but just in general, but uh particularly creatives. Then I'm also uh one of the uh co-hosts for uh um professor and comedian Welcome to the Bar. Which is um uh it's done out of Northwestern University. Um and so there we actually have been lucky enough to get some pretty high caliber um creatives and um comedians to come on, as well as some pretty high caliber academics to come on. So we are actually this week releasing an interview we did with the mayor of Evanston.

SPEAKER_02 11:33

Oh, how cool is that!

SPEAKER_01 11:34

Yeah, and we just were privileged enough to uh um interview Leon Rogers, who's uh uh radio host and and comedian legendary comedian um out of Chicago, but we've also done like Zaynab Johnson. There's some other some other key folks that are coming up on the case. And it's called Professor and a Comedian Walking to a Bar. PCWB for short. I love that. So yeah, yeah, yeah. You gotta have it for that one. That is that is a mouthful. When we uh shout out uh my co-host Samir and Sapair. Uh Sapair actually came up with the he's a professor um uh at Northwestern, and he came up with the name, and then after a while he was like, I don't know. It feels like a name other people might use. Uh let's check the internet. Oh, it looks like a couple of people might have like a similar name. I said, a such and such and a such and such walk into a bar. It might be the second joke ever created.

SPEAKER_02 12:27

Of course there's gonna be.

SPEAKER_01 12:29

Of course, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 12:30

So how did you connect with them?

SPEAKER_01 12:33

Um, met both of them on the scene.

SPEAKER_02 12:35

Okay, they're both comics.

SPEAKER_01 12:37

So Sapair, yeah, actually, Sapair ended up running into me uh at a club, saw me performing, was like, hey, you know, I'm a professor, um, you know, I'm I I'm really into comedy. He he thought whatever he thought about me, and then he invited me to come talk to his class. I'll tell you, it I don't genuinely get nerve, you know, I get keyed up to get on stage and perform, but I don't get nervous like that. Yeah, sit in a room full of millennials and just talking without necessarily driving for laughs constantly, especially not laughs at a pace like you're at a comedy club, but just sitting there talking to a room full of kids for an hour. Yeah. Kids that I don't understand, I don't know what six seven is. I don't want to know. It's past my I don't even know it is exactly whatever trends they're into. I don't know. So I'm just talking that was a bit nerve-wracking. Because you're just looking out of your own element. Exactly. Yeah, yeah. Exactly. So that was very interesting. And then just through the course of our our relationship, we um developed uh developed the podcast, and then we produce comedy shows now together, and um we've been doing some some awesome stuff. Yeah, yeah, we're traveling, doing some awesome stuff.

SPEAKER_02 13:54

That is so wonderful. I have to listen into that one.

SPEAKER_01 13:57

Yeah, it's actually pretty good. We were we went out uh not too long ago to LA and um interviewed like uh uh uh Sophia Noble, pretty high caliber um uh professor out there. We're gonna be doing some more traveling and uh producing a show at Zany's uh Rosemont here, as well as a um as well as a fundraise show for uh South Sudan. Um so yeah, we're doing some awesome things. Amazing.

SPEAKER_02 14:26

So that will be the podcast live, or is that just okay, awesome?

SPEAKER_01 14:30

Yeah, so we do the podcast live and then we're also doing like uh uh comedy shows as well.

SPEAKER_02 14:35

Okay, so okay, so some comics, some doing the podcast. That's amazing. Yeah, and what's uh on your horizon as a stand-up comedian?

SPEAKER_01 14:44

Ooh, uh right. Besides all that, yeah, right now, yeah, producing shows, but just doing is I I I really fell in love with comedy. Like I love that. Like beautiful in love, like it's in my heart. Oh my god, I love it. Being a student of the game, being on the scene, watching other people that I that I favor, or just watching anybody. You can learn from anybody in this game. Um and then performing. I genuinely love being on stage, seeing people laugh, finding what makes people take seeing new audiences. So right now, you know, where it takes me, some some cool things are happening for me.

SPEAKER_02 15:20

So that's awesome.

SPEAKER_01 15:22

Yeah, I keep going to the dance and keep playing the music. Do you still do open mics, like kind of work stuff out or um yeah, I mean, there's still a few mics that I get to, but I mean any more these days, uh yeah, I'll I'll try and work it out on stage, generally wherever I'm at. And if I'm lucky enough to be on a show, um I'm at uh I'm at a place where I feel pretty comfortable, so I might sandwich some new material in there when I'm just on a on a show if I'm feeling fun and frolicky, you know.

SPEAKER_02 15:53

Fun and frolicky, yeah, because it's a good place to work out new material, I know. Yeah, a lot of comics do that.

SPEAKER_01 15:59

Yeah, I don't know if I have I don't know if I have it in me or even have the time anymore to sit in a room full of seven other comics until twelve, thirty. I know it is a marathon. I've cut my teeth doing that. I've got my black book. Yeah, exactly, exactly. So hopefully I've set myself up where I can, you know, get out there and and stuff. But I still I still love just being around comics in general, creatives in general. But it's an amazing community. Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 16:28

Chicago has a lovely, lovely community comics.

SPEAKER_01 16:31

It's amazing. Yeah, because there's so many, every neighborhood is its own little subculture.

SPEAKER_02 16:36

Is that right?

SPEAKER_01 16:37

Yeah, and then so you know, it's what 77 neighborhoods in in Chicago, and they all have their own little bar scene, they all have their own culture, they have their own a lot of them have their own little comedy scene, their own music scene. Wow, wow, or whatever. So I mean, Chicago is like 77 different cities. It really is wrapped into one big one.

SPEAKER_02 16:58

Why it makes it such a great, great town.

SPEAKER_01 17:01

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so when you get to get out there and mix and mingle, it's a lot going on.

SPEAKER_02 17:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:05

Well, this this show is tremendous. Like, where uh so what are you looking for in in the new for me?

SPEAKER_02 17:11

Yeah, yeah. I'm you know, I'm I'm looking, I'm continuing my podcast. I'm really excited. I have so many wonderful guests that I'm gonna be uh talking with.

SPEAKER_01 17:20

An eclectic group of people, eclectic group.

SPEAKER_02 17:23

I just love that. You know, I I when I created this podcast, it was really to be more of uh a very open, expanded idea of because I believe as people we have spiritual uh journeys as a part of our journeys, and it's a in a human way and it's in a personal way, and some people practice specific spiritual uh practices, and some people just have an inner personal spiritual journey with themselves and with life, and I think that's always uh occurring, and I think that I like the the reason I even created this was for me, you know, I moved through a lot of really difficult stuff and I was really, you know, in a lot of pain, and not just like going to therapy or doing comedy or and all that, but you know, being able to look from a more expanded view at myself and my experiences really helped me to um to like lighten it a little bit in a way that I could move through the processing of uh evolving and and healing and growing. And so I just you know I wanted to share that with people. And also I think, you know, like you're saying, uh, you know, regular ass people, well, regular ass people have these too. And I think I wanted to pull down the idea of the spiritual journey and the healing journey because we're all doing it, and it doesn't need to be some like oh you know, kind of uh pious pie in the sky thing. It's it's right here and we have it, and we can lean on each other and we can learn from each other and we can talk about it. And my my healing is all comed from come from that. It's amazing. Yeah, yeah. So uh I feel really happy um that this is uh happening and still going, and I have people like you that want to join me and and be on an episode, so that was so cool. And um I'm looking at stand up uh again for myself. Uh there we go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um because I feel like you know, I've and telling my story and and sharing more about my my life uh has opened that up for me to be like, okay, now I I feel like I have something I want to talk about. And uh Oh yes, yes. Yeah, yeah. And I also have a one woman show called the Spiritual Awakening Comedy Cabaret. Yes. And that has music in it, so it's like a one woman show acting and singing and that's amazing.

SPEAKER_01 19:59

Thank you. Thank you. And and I I remember when you showed that to me. And if I could for a moment just give you your flowers. You have such a warm and genuine spirit. Um, because we've worked together before, and you know, I I've done some editing for you, so I've watched just about everything you've done since you've been at the studio, the people you bring by, the the connections you make, the the subjects you do. And I I just want to tell you, just from being on this side, being here as a human being, for somebody to be interested enough in you to say, Hey, would you like to come do you know my show, my podcast, my my thing? One, that just feels good. And then to have somebody um sit there and have a genuine interest in your story is food for your soul. And you're you not only are you offering that to me, and I've you know, I've I've known you for you know for for some time now, but it's not like we go back, and for you to give me such a genuine positive feeling that's gonna carry over with me for a long time. Now, I don't remember the guy that cut me off in traffic, but I remember I remember Suzanne that invited me on a show and asked me about my story and gave me a platform to share something about me and and give me like positive vibes and good energy going forward. Uh and and especially in a decision like talking about you know addictions. That's it's just it's such a powerful thing that you do. And I have to be sharing the same sentiment with a majority of the guests and not just the guests on your show, but the other people you've been helping along your journey because it's hard not to do it on your own, and you're doing it on your own, and then grabbing as many folks as you can to bring along with you, and that's that's such a beautiful thing. And I I I appreciate you so much.

SPEAKER_02 21:40

Thank you. That means so much to me. And I the same thing. Like when I met you, I was like, he has such a wonderful, kind and and like Zen energy. And um, for those who don't know, uh Mike has a studio and uh podcast studio, and I recorded several uh episodes. Here, and that's how we started working together. And then after getting to know him, I was like, why don't you be a guest?

SPEAKER_01 22:06

Thank you so much.

SPEAKER_02 22:07

So when I was back in Chicago again, where I'm I was I'm so happy that we got to work it out because he got a big exciting show that he had to go to yesterday. Yeah. It's awesome. So how was it? Was it awesome?

SPEAKER_01 22:18

It was two shows back to back, clean show up front, and then the uh the irregular show at the end. It got they were both interesting. There was the second show, it started getting a little rowdy over the Bears game, believe it or not.

SPEAKER_02 22:35

People were very excited. They were playing the Packers. Yeah, so that's unreal.

SPEAKER_01 22:38

Yeah, so there was there was um there was like five birthdays in the house, and some guy decided to inform the entire room that he wasn't a Bears fan. Oh and I'm on stage and I'm like, oh no.

SPEAKER_02 22:53

Could you do that in like 20 minutes?

SPEAKER_01 22:55

It started turning up, so I had to be I had to be the funny police. That's right, that's right, that's right.

SPEAKER_02 23:00

No Packers alone in here. No Packers fans.

SPEAKER_01 23:04

So nah, I was able to I was able to wrangle them in, but uh no, it was definitely it was one for the record books for sure.

SPEAKER_02 23:11

So where will you be uh performing uh stand-up in the next uh year this year? Like what is your year plan?

SPEAKER_01 23:18

Oh wow, so um uh well um I I'm I'm at uh Second City, so shout out Up and Coming Comedy every Friday at Second City. I'm there quite often, and that is produced uh by one of my my close friends, Samir Abdul, um, who uh is also gonna be producing the he's from South Sudan, so he's also gonna be producing uh the uh fundraising show uh for Sudan. Um so announcements coming. I don't wanna I don't wanna uh put too much of his his his uh thing out there. I am having my first um production at Zany's Rosemont on January 20th. So the the hopes is is that that's gonna be a recurring show. Yeah, Zany's um so so this first one is gonna be a big deal. So I'm pretty geeked up for that. Yes, I wonder what you deserve it. Yes, I I I I I hope so. Yeah, yeah. So but other than that, I mean there's a lot going on uh with uh uh there's also um uh the f laughing flow at the flow kitchen in Evanston, um, which is uh starting off as a monthly, and then that's probably gonna be looking to go a little bit more frequent.
