6 Years 200 days - Comedy Again

Ever wondered what it's like to witness a comedy show through the eyes of someone who's been on both sides of the microphone? David Boyle, in his podcast 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', takes listeners on a hilarious yet honest journey through a comedy night in Boston. Boyle's unique perspective as a comedian in recovery adds an extra layer of humour and insight to the evening's events.

He navigates through the ups and downs of the night, from the awkward moments when comedians bomb to the rare brilliance of a standout performer. Boyle's candid observations about the acts, particularly a talented gay comedian who stole the show, are both entertaining and revealing. He also shares his thoughts on the comedy scene in different countries, noting that while many comedians share similar styles globally, the US boasts some exceptional talent.

Boyle's reflections on the importance of listening to fellow comics before taking the stage are not just for aspiring comedians but serve as life advice for anyone in creative fields. His enthusiasm for Rory Scoville, whom he regards as one of the best comedians today, is infectious. This episode is not just about quitting alcohol; it's about finding joy and laughter in everyday experiences.

Boyle's blend of humour and honesty makes this podcast a must-listen for anyone interested in comedy, recovery, or simply enjoying life's little quirks.
