RORY SCOVEL On Touring His Comedy Show, Mushrooms in the Grand Canyon, & Taking A Real Vacation

This week Seth and Josh welcome Rory Scovel to the podcast! Rory talks about growing up in Greenville, South Carolina as the second-oldest of seven (with five half-siblings), family beach trips to Myrtle Beach, his dad’s ideal vacation at the beach, what his daughter thinks of his standup career now, taking his daughter to London, his favorite cities for shows like Amsterdam, Madrid, and Dublin, and reflects on how social media has changed international touring. Rory also talks about his comedy true-crime podcast series, “CrimeLess,” which is available now! CrimeLess is a production of iHeartMedia and Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network and SmartLess Media available weekly on Wednesdays on the iHeartRadio app, and everywhere podcasts are heard.
