Comedian Jordan Garnett joins Sharon Pfeiffer and Joe Rubbo on We Tawk Funny, and this one goes exactly where you’d expect it to go—completely off the rails.
Jordan has been doing stand-up since he was a teenager, but his road through comedy hasn’t exactly been smooth. He talks about starting at the Palm Beach Improv, getting opportunities at a young age, touring, dealing with jealousy in the comedy scene and learning that sometimes the best thing you can do is stop worrying about everybody else and find your own lane.   Pasted text
But behind the jokes, Jordan gets real about a period when his drinking became so bad that he stepped away from comedy for two years. He talks about getting sober, the people who helped him turn things around and what it means to now return to the Palm Beach Improv—the same stage where his comedy career started—as a headliner.   Pasted text
Of course, it wouldn't be We Tawk Funny without things getting inappropriate.
Jordan talks about meeting his fiancée while performing on the road, why she hates comedy, bombing and killing on stage, comedy classes, getting fired from a tour, fellow comedians, his first joke at 14 years old and some of the strangest moments from nearly two decades of stand-up.
And then there's his other obsession: sports. Jordan explains how getting sober unexpectedly led to a love for the Miami Marlins, his viral social media presence, throwing out a first pitch in a ridiculously tight baseball uniform—and his ongoing mission to finally get the Marlins to follow him back.
It's funny, brutally unfiltered and surprisingly personal.
This is Jordan Garnett on We Tawk Funny.
