HOW TO: Fail Upwards in Comedy (w/ Johnny Marx)

This week, actor/comedian Johnny Marx returns to the pod one year after his first appearance, and a lot has changed. We catch up on the first anniversary of LINDA, the monthly comedy show he co-hosts with Bebe Katsenes, and how building the show has helped him find a true community within comedy. Johnny reflects on meeting some of his comedy heroes through the experience and shares how stand-up has become one of the most valuable tools in shaping his identity as an actor—helping audiences, casting directors, and producers understand exactly who he is as a performer. We also dive into Johnny's recent success on social media after a string of viral Instagram reels. He breaks down his authentic approach to creating content, why finding the right audience matters more than chasing trends, and the mindset that's helped him grow an engaged following - the right audience.  LINDA Johnny Insta SUBMIT: 50/50 Horror Fest
