Ep 50 The World's MOST Average Person with Dustin Nickerson

Send us Fan Mail

Laughter has been said to be the best medicine. Right now we live in a time where most people are experiencing some sort of challenge or difficulty not knowing how to get through it. Comedy tries to and for the most part really does lighten the mood and creates a more joyful situation.

On today's very special episode, host Brian Klepacki sits down with Stand Up Comedian Dustin Nickerson (yes, a sit down convo with a stand up comedian... oxy moron)… They share stories of growing up as 80s kids and now having to do the adult thing but from a comics perspective.

Dustin describes himself as “the world’s most average person” but is far from it when on stage. He brings you into his life through his clean jokes about the struggles of parenting, marriage, and be generally annoyed by most people.

Dustin is truly one of the most unique voices in the comedy scene and in this episode you'll understand why!

 

"When something has too much weight and you're able to laugh and joke about it then it really can remove a lot of its power and that's healthy in a relationship."

-Dustin Nickerson
