Against His Will
Against His Will is what happens when a decade of nagging finally pays off—and a reluctant comedian husband is dragged into the podcast spotlight.
Hosted by married comedians Noah Gardenswartz and Ester Steinberg, the show is recorded from the comfort of their Las Vegas home. Delivered with sharp tongues and zero filter, it dives into the chaos of life on and off the stage—from brutally honest takes on the comedy grind to the kind of relationship banter that probably should’ve stayed private.
They break down bizarre Las Vegas headlines that feel too weird to be real (but somehow always are), and dig up old, abandoned jokes to see if there’s still life left in them—or if they deserve to stay buried forever.
It’s part comedy lab, part marriage therapy, and part “how did we get here?” energy. Whether you’re into stand-up, strange news, or just listening to two funny people lovingly roast each other, Against His Will delivers the kind of unfiltered humor that only comes from years of shared history—and one very persistent spouse.
