Mike Larsen ( @writemikelarsen ) is a Comedian and Writer.  This week it's a really fun dive into the world of comedy and television as I sit down with Mike Larsen who's got plenty of experience and plenty of stories to share across his time in performing and writing comedy, and even writing political speeches along the way. Whether it's stories from sharing stages with the likes of Robin Williams, Paula Poundstone and Dana Carvey, or his time spent in the writers room for shows like 'Grace Under Fire', 'Ellen', 'The Drew Carey Show' & more, Mike has a lot of really great insight into not just joke writing and scripting and pitching in general, but also into the ever-changing entertainment world and how to navigate all the ups and downs that come with it. Mike really does share a lot of good advice from all that he's learned (and tried himself) over the years, and many simply fun stories to go along with it. From learning alongside the greats, getting hired for TV, how to pitch scripts, dealing with bad stahd up sets and even battles with panic attacks and drinking, it's a really great chat with Mike as he shares all. ---THIS EPISODE PARTNERED WITH: PromoWest Productions - @promowestlive For all upcoming shows & event info of who's coming through Columbus, OH, visit promowestlive.com or to purchase tickets directly, visit AXS.com The Scatter Joy Project - @thescatterjoyproject The Scatter Joy Project is a local Columbus nonprofit focused on fighting for mental health.
