Summary

Subscribe to Greg Fitzsimmons: https://bit.ly/subGregFitz Greg is fresh out of therapy and questioning gratitude, happiness, and why having everything still isn’t enough. Then Jeremiah Watkins joins the show and things immediately go off the rails. They get into comedy club horror stories, bad breath interventions, the chaos of opening acts, and the strange psychology of stand-up. Jeremiah talks about performing with legends, turning down distribution for his new special Crazy Pizza, and why betting on yourself might be the only move that matters. There’s also talk of Disneyland taking over people’s personalities, the weird divide in comedy audiences, and what happens when a show completely loses control before the headliner even hits the stage. Plus: Fast Balls with Fitz, including virginity stories, career regrets, and what award Jeremiah actually wants to win. This show is produced by Gotham Production Studios and part of the Gotham Network. https://www.gothamproductionstudios.com/studios/ Follow Greg Fitzsimmons: Facebook: https://facebook.com/FitzdogRadio Instagram: https://instagram.com/gregfitzsimmons Twitter: https://twitter.com/gregfitzshow Official Website: http://gregfitzsimmons.com Tour Dates: https://bit.ly/GregFitzTour Merch: https://bit.ly/GregFitzMerch “Dear Mrs. Fitzsimmons” Book: https://amzn.to/2Z2bB82 “Life on Stage” Comedy Special: https://bit.ly/GregFitzSpecial Listen to Greg Fitzsimmons: Fitzdog Radio: https://bit.ly/FitzdogRadio Sunday Papers: http://bit.ly/SundayPapersPod Childish: http://childishpod.com Watch more Greg Fitzsimmons: Latest Uploads: https://bit.ly/latestGregFitz Fitzdog Radio: https://bit.ly/radioGregFitz Sunday Papers: https://bit.ly/sundayGregFitz Stand Up Comedy: https://bit.ly/comedyGregFitz Popular Videos: https://bit.ly/popGregFitz About Greg Fitzsimmons: Mixing an incisive wit with scathing sarcasm, Greg Fitzsimmons is an accomplished stand-up, an Emmy Award winning writer, and a host on TV, radio and his own podcasts.
