About this episode
We fixed our mics! Dustin Kaufman is back at the Comedy Club KC and joined by comedian and podcaster Ryan Sickler in between sold out shows. They unpack the craft of storytelling, the evolution of podcasting, and the changing landscape of stand-up comedy. Ryan explains his minimalist interview prep style, his obsession with emotional truth, and how he structures long-form stand-up stories that evolve over time. They discuss the oversaturation of comedy specials, the pressure of short-form content, and the exhausting “gamification” of art by social media platforms.You can find Ryan Sickler touring in a city near you by checking his upcoming shows: https://www.ryansickler.com/ FOLLOW The Comedy Club of Kansas City on socials:- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecomedyclubkc/?hl=en - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheComedyClubKC - TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thecomedyclubkc
