  Ash Diggs

  Jul 31, 20261h 13mS1

  My old pal Ash Diggs joins the program! Ash and I started comedy together in the lovely mountain state of Vermont. Now we both live in New York. In addition to being a hilarious comedian, Ash also teaches standup comedy at the Second City in Brooklyn! We dive deep into how he created his standup comedy curriculum, his childhood as a military brat, what it was like growing up as a biracial person in the south, his brief stint in ROTC, and how a shoulder injury changed his life by allowing him to avoid military service. We also talk about what it's like being in a comedian in our current digital age and where Ash sees his career going forward. You can follow Ash on social media: @ashdiggs_ and see him perform an hour of standup live at Union Hall on August 14. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-jokes-i-met-one-hour-of-stand-up-from-ash-diggs-tickets-1992767047884 Theme music by Isaac Lewis (@_isaac_lewis_) Artwork by Xavier Maurice (@xaviermaurice_) Hosted, Edited, and Produced by Adam Mitrani (@amitrani) Recorded at the Podcast Studio at P&T Knitwear PLEASE LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, FOLLOW, SHARE, RATE AND LEAVE A REVIEW TO SPREAD AWARENESS ABOUT THIS PODCAST.
