.

Stephen kicks things off by sharing how he's feeling under the weather 🤧🤒🤢 with seasonal allergies 🌸🤧🌼—you’ll definitely relate!

He also discusses the controversy surrounding the Riyadh Comedy Festival 🎤🌍🤔, whether he’d take the money 💰💸💵 if faced with that decision, and reminisces about a 2009 hidden gem, *The Box* starring Cameron Diaz 🎬😎—a movie nobody talks about but should!

.

Stephen dives deep into the age-old debate: can you separate art from the artist? 🎨🤔🤷‍♂️ He gets real about burnout 🔥💤, feeling like a “punk” comedian 🎸🤘 in a room full of “indie” comics 🎤🎧, and his desire to pursue other projects ✍️📚 and write new material ✨📝 instead of just showing up at open mics without purpose.

🔥🔥🔥 Episode 58 of the Comedy Simp Podcast is here, and it’s a wild ride! 🚀🚀🚀 Hosted by comedian Stephen Michael James, who’s been around the block a few times and still trying to figure out life, this episode features a lively chat outside the Whiskey Mile in Kirkland, WA. 😂🍻

.

Stephen is joined by local rising star Jason Katz — and their conversation is packed with stories, struggles, and plenty of laughs. 🎤✨ Jason shares his strategies for blowing up online, probably more effective than Stephen’s early TikTok trials. 🤘️🔥 He talks about moving back in with his parents, discovering his Jewish roots via DNA test, and trying stand-up early on with mixed results. 💥🌎

.

They reminisce about their first double-dip open mic nights — two mics in one evening — which they both count as some of their biggest achievements. 🎤🎤 Stephen shares how a joint once led to a memorable moment (or a lost memory). 🌿🤪

.

The discussion gets surreal as they talk about alien sightings — Stephen’s childhood gas in the sky, Jason’s weather balloon in San Diego — maybe the universe is trying to tell them something, or maybe they just need some sleep. 👽🌥️✨

.

Midway through, Rob Conroy joins the chaos, sharing wild LA comedy stories and more thoughts about Happy Gilmore 2. Stephen also pitches a throwback idea for a modern comedy film starring him and Rob as would-be kidnappers trying to pull off a scam — a nod to those classic 90s comedies, with plenty of chaos and bad decisions. 🎬🤪🔥

.

They also speculate about what social media and stand-up comedy will look like in 2025 and debate which Seattle comedian has the most interesting mind. 💡🤯🔥

.

This episode is a chaotic, hilarious roundtable of comedians on the rise, full of stories, advice, and Stephen’s ongoing attempts to stay relevant in a confusing world. 🚀🔥😂

This episode is a COMPLETE MESS — starting with Stephen’s neighbor going FULL pressure-washer crazy and washing ALL 5 of his cars during our first epic studio debut 🙄🚗💦. The guys roast that, joke about Jesus on toast from the 90s 🍞✝️, and trash the “tarp” drink at bars 🍻🛑.

.

Stephen spills the tea on his neighborhood and HOA Facebook drama 📱🙄, while Rob shares his recent car theft nightmare 🚗🔓 and how it totally fucked him up. They dish on their upcoming podcast plans, scream about climate change in Vancouver BC 🌍🔥, and rip apart Adam Sandler’s new movie + the long-awaited Happy Gilmore 2 — what’s good, what’s garbage, and why sequels are usually a dumpster fire 🔥🎬.

.

Plus, some spicy drama — a local comedian stirring the pot with Theo Von 🎙️🔥, wild stories from LA’s Narcotics Anonymous circles 💊🤫, and Stephen’s crazy idea for a modern 90’s comedy that’s gonna blow minds 💥🕺.
