On this episode, Martin is joined by Comedian Eagle Witt (Comedy Central, Don’t Tell Comedy) sits down at Room 808 to talk about life as a working New York comic on the verge of his first hour special. They get into the New York comedy scene, the difference between a 30-minute and an hour set, and why he opens with bits most comedians would save for the close. The conversation goes deep on identity and politics in comedy — black audiences vs. liberal optimism, where Eagle lands on the political spectrum, and why he thinks some of his most respected peers could be doing more with their platforms. He also opens up about anxiety, growing up without a religion of his own, fame’s downsides, and why he keeps turning down opportunities that don’t align with his long-term vision. Plus: dream entrepreneur era (do-rags and Golden Crust franchises included), the Frank Ocean/Lauryn Hill blueprint for a sane career, his best-and-worst heckler story, and why he thinks comedy might be the most merit-based art form in entertainment.
