Life In ComedyHost Will Becton interviews the brave souls who choose to make being funny their livelihood. Author: Jett Road Studios
Life In Comedy explores the triumphs and struggles of the working comedian. Host Will Becton has been around a lot of funny people. He was the original engineer of Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend, and worked at Team Coco for the entire run on CONAN on TBS. Prior to Team Coco he performed improv comedy at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre with house teams The Syndicate and Team Brooklyn. Will has always wondered why comedians end up being comedians, as it seems like more of a calling than a choice. In this show he attempts to find that out by talking to stand-ups, improvisers, comedy writers, sketch performers, and humorists. Life In Comedy is recorded at Jett Road Studios.
