Comedy has become like boy band-ish. Like people follow comedians around like they're f****** boy bands now and they don't really seem to care about the quality of work as long as they can be part of something. Is that what it is? People just want to be part of something?
Ever had one of those days where everything feels off? Comedian David Boyle certainly has, and he’s not shy about sharing it. In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', Boyle is gearing up for a warm-up show in Canada, but things aren't going smoothly. He's feeling physically unwell and mentally foggy, and even contemplates the idea of using performance-enhancing drugs to get through the show. But that's just the tip of the iceberg.

It's a candid look at the pressures and realities of being a comedian in today's digital age. Boyle's raw honesty and sharp wit make this episode a must-listen for anyone curious about the behind-the-scenes struggles of a performer trying to stay true to his craft while navigating the ups and downs of sobriety.
