Show notes
Today, I talk to veteran comedian and established author, Mike Lukas from the Tonight Show, Second City and CONAN. Mike and I cover a wide range of topics from how he got started in comedy at Disney World to being the foremost expert in helping develop budding comics. We speak on how to create your own personal brand, how improv played a key role in not just his career but developing bits, comedy condo horror stories and the guide to publishing your own book. This is a must listen for any comedy fan or fan of writing.
