The Show

Joe Rogan sits down with Chris Distefano, the energetic stand-up comedian and podcast host, for a conversation that dives into the world of comedy, podcasting, and the New York comedy scene. Chris brings his characteristic enthusiasm and chaotic energy to the studio as they explore what drives him as a performer and content creator.

Chris discusses his journey in comedy and how he's built his brand across multiple platforms. From his Chrissy Chaos podcast to his co-hosting duties on Hey Babe with Sal Vulcano, he's carved out a unique space in the comedy and podcast landscape. The conversation touches on the dynamics of podcasting, the chemistry with his co-hosts, and how different platforms allow comedians to express themselves in ways that traditional stand-up might not.

The discussion naturally flows into his stand-up work and his new comedy album Chrissy New York Comedy Club.

He's clearly passionate about the craft of stand-up and how it's evolved in the modern era.

Throughout the conversation, Chris brings the energy and humor that his fans know him for, while also getting into more substantive discussions about the comedy world, performing live, and what it takes to succeed as a comedian in today's landscape. The episode captures the unfiltered, free-flowing discussion that makes JRE distinctive.
