E408. How To Build A Comedy Special | Dave Landau - Walk-Ins Welcome
Thursday, 17 September, 2026
Dave Landau returns to the podcast to talk about his new comedy special, breaking down the nuts and bolts of what actually goes into making a stand-up special, how he assembles a set from road-tested bits, how many shows you actually tape, the art of crowd work - engaging with the audience but not losing control of the room - and why some venues now expect it when they used to frown on it. He and Bridget discuss why comedy is more popular now than ever, how podcasting changed the comedy world, and why the best material comes from your real life. Then they go broad, talking about the 25th 9/11 anniversary, the loss of innocence that turned America from a high-trust to a low-trust society, what really going on in Michigan, and a shared frustration with the podcasters peddling nihilism and hopelessness to their audiences while they fly around on private jets, and what a better message would be.Watch Dave's new special here: https://youtu.be/WFjqxZw5i6o?si=rtLO4zEbixgrr-96#StandUpComedy #ComedySpecial #WalkInsWelcomeTopics covered: how comics build a stand-up special, crowd work and reading a room, comedy's popularity boom, podcasting and stand-up, 9/11 and the loss of innocence, high trust vs low trust society, TSA and air travel, Islam in Dearborn Michigan, nihilism in podcasting, Opie and Anthony🎙️ New episodes every week.
