About this episode
This episode features Shelley Berman, a pioneer in stand-up comedy known for turning anxiety into art and storytelling.
On today's podcast, a guy who turned anxiety into an art form, arguments into punchlines, and imaginary phone calls into comedy gold. Long before stand-up had edge, Shelley Berman had nerves and always sold-out night clubs. He didn't just tell jokes, he unraveled in real time…and audiences loved every minute of it. He was a pioneer and a storyteller. Shelley was brilliantly frazzled, the original overthinker.
