JOSH JOHNSON On "Mid" Beginnings in Louisiana, Hawaiian Wave Wipeouts, & Symphony on HBO

This week on the pod, Seth and Josh welcome Josh Johnson! Josh talks about growing up in Alexandria, Louisiana, his path from working a variety of jobs to becoming one of comedy’s most prolific voices, and the moves that took him from Louisiana to Chicago and eventually New York. He also shares stories about family travel, including childhood road trips across the South, annual vacations with his girlfriend, mom, and aunt, and a memorable trip to Hawaii where the ocean literally knocked his family off their feet! Plus, he discusses the success of his HBO Max special Symphony and his upcoming Comedy Band Camp Tour.
