100: Katie Burch – Avoiding the waffle and being cruel

Comedian Katie Burch didn't want to work at NASA or work towards
world peace. She wanted to be a comedian, and a dark comedian at
that.


 


In this 100th episode of the School of Hard Knock Knocks podcast,
host Steve Davis chats with former National Raw Comedy Finalist
Katie Burch about what it takes to be a successful comedian, her
life in a cult, and why appealing to a woke crowd isn't great for
your comedy career. She also highlights the importance of
suffering in the creation of jokes - or at least her preferred
form of cruel dark comedy
