In this episode of Comedy Saved Me, Lynn Hoffman talks with Jeffrey Gurian—comedian, author, comedy journalist, and longtime staple of the New York comedy world. Jeffrey’s story is as unique as his presence: a man who blends spiritual healing with stand-up insights, and who has spent his life documenting and supporting some of the biggest names in comedy.

Jeffrey shares how laughter became his own medicine, the role humor plays in healing both physically and emotionally, and why he believes comedy is one of the most powerful forces for connection and resilience. From behind-the-scenes stories with legendary comedians to his personal journey of overcoming challenges through positivity and joy, Jeffrey reminds us that comedy can truly save lives—including our own.

This week on Comedy Saved Me Lynn Hoffman sits down with the one and only Red Peters—the musical mischief-maker best known for his hilariously raunchy novelty songs that have scandalized radio waves and delighted late-night troublemakers for decades.

From his early days sneaking dirty songs past censors to building a cult following with tunes you definitely can’t play at the office (or at grandma’s house), Red has made a career out of pushing boundaries and finding joy in the outrageous. But beneath the naughty punchlines, there’s a story about resilience, creative freedom, and how comedy—and sometimes a perfectly timed dirty joke—has the power to save us when life gets a little too serious.

Get ready for laughs, unbelievable stories, and a reminder that sometimes the filthiest jokes can carry the purest truth.
