#667 - Comedian Mark Normand on Hating Crowd Work, Being a New Dad, Going Viral & Why He Still Loves the Grind

About this episode

Comedian Mark Normand sits down with Bobby for a wide-ranging conversation about life on the road, becoming a new dad, and why he still approaches comedy like he has something to prove. Mark explains why he doesn’t want to rely on crowd work, how he tests new material even when it means having a rough set, and what he thinks about the constant pressure to feed social media with clips. He also shares the comedians who influenced him most, what criticism still gets under his skin, why he prefers smaller rooms to arenas, and how becoming a dad has changed the way he spends his time at home. Plus, Mark gets into his writing process, going viral, making his own movie, and why he’s still happiest just working out jokes.
