Comedian Pete Holmes Highlights the Lowlights of his religious upbringing, getting married at 18, and the life lessons that came from it on this week’s episode of The HoneyDew. Pete opens up about growing up in a strict faith, attending Christian college, and how his first marriage ultimately fell apart. He shares how those experiences shaped his journey of figuring out who he is and what he actually wants out of life. We also get into the joy he’s found in fatherhood, the childhood memories that still stick with him, and how they inspired his new children’s book, Spells to Cast on Your Parents. Plus, check out his latest stand-up special, Silly Silly Fun Boy, now on YouTube. If you’ve ever questioned your path, your past, or how you were raised this one’s for you. 🎟️See me live.
