Funny You Should Mention: Raanan Hershberg
On today’s show, Mike offers an unreserved endorsement of comedian Raanan Hershberg and his new special, Morbidly Jewish. In this installment of Funny You Should Mention, the two discuss the trap of "normalizing the absurdity" in political comedy, the agony of naming a stand-up special, and Raanan's experience debating conspiracy theories on The Joe Rogan Experience. Plus, how Raanan managed to craft a truly original joke about Israel, and what it’s like to be a guy who has read Ulysses three times but still accidentally pours hot coffee on his own crotch. Produced by Corey Wara Video and Social Media by Geoff Craig Do you have questions or comments, or just want to say hello?
