About this listen

In this episode of Put Your Funny Where Your Mouth Is, Vince Carone and Dobie Maxwell relive a gig that went completely off the rails, where every twist, turn, and mishap seemed determined to derail the night. From a venue setup that defied logic to a crowd that kept them guessing, this was the kind of gig that tests a comic’s patience, professionalism, and punchlines.

Vince and Dobie break down the night beat-by-beat, sharing what it’s like to stay funny when the odds are stacked against you, and why these chaotic shows often become the best stories in a comic’s arsenal. It’s part comedy survival guide, part road diary, and 100% proof that when things go wrong in stand-up, the laughs can get even bigger.

Key Points Discussed:

  • How a seemingly normal gig unraveled from the moment they walked in
  • The hidden challenges comics face that audiences never see
  • Why staying adaptable is the real secret weapon on stage
  • The mental game of laughing at a disaster while you’re still in it
  • Why “off the rails” nights can be career gold later on

  • Drop us a comment with your favorite part or a show that went off the rails for you!
