In the first of three SXSW specials, I’m joined by Pete Lee!

Raised in Wisconsin, in 2008 Pete made his network television debut performing on NBC’s Last Comic Standing, where he subsequently went on in the same year to earn his very own Comedy Central Half Hour Special. Now, he's a frequent face on late night television with 9 appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and has featured on Comedy Central’s Roast Battle.

In this episode, we discuss performing on The Tonight Show while his house burned down in the LA fires, the loss of power held by traditional tastemakers, why being yourself now beats chasing Netflix fame and and I try to stop Pete riffing (which I eventually succeed with!).

Join the Insiders Club at patreon.com/comcompod where you can WATCH the full episode and get access to 15 minutes of exclusive extras including taking bad feedback from Roseanne Barr and Russell Peters and why all comics should self-produce their own content. GOOD STUFF!
