About this listen
Before comedy clubs came to Kansas City, David Naster was already making people laugh on street corners. In this episode of There’s Just Something About Kansas City, we sit down with one of KC’s first stand-up comedians—who went from performing in the streets to opening for Celine Dion and headlining cruise ships around the world.
Naster shares behind-the-scenes stories from LA’s legendary Comedy Store, how he convinced Stan Glazier to launch Stanford and Sons in Westport, and why he returned home to Kansas City. He also opens up about his personal struggles and how he’s helping others heal through humor with his book and podcast, You Just Have To Laugh.
If you're interested in the roots of Kansas City’s comedy scene, cruise ship entertainment, or using laughter as a tool for mental health—this episode delivers it all.
