About this episode

Tim Drake interviews comedian Caleb Zeringue about his career, personal experiences, and upcoming projects.

On today's episode of the podcast I have comedian Caleb Zeringue! I first became aware of Caleb from his play "Luigi: The Musical", and have continued to see his standup clips pop up online. So when his publicists asked if I wanted to have him on the show to talk about his new show, "The Drillmaster", which he co-wrote with Jenny Zigrino, I was excited to have him join me. I talked with Caleb about growing up in the South and finding his comedic voice, using comedy as therapy through a divorce, queer representation in comedy, Luigi: The Musical, how The Drillmaster was created and so much more! Don't miss the LIVE reading of "The Drillmaster", the mostly true story of America's gayest founding daddy, this Sunday, May 3rd @ The Elysian Theater here in Los Angeles during the Netflix is a joke fest. Tickets are going fast, so get them while you can! Ticket links as well as all the places you can follow Caleb at available at www.onthemicpodcast.com Thanks, Caleb! Enjoy the episode!
