Episode 18

This week, Hey Elgin! is joined by local comedian and open mic regular, Jake Coulter! At 27, Jake is working hard to hone his craft and shares the hilarious and often terrifying journey of bringing original comedy to the stage. We dive deep into the world of stand-up—what inspires his material, the agony of bombing, and the rush of a killer set. We also unpack the age-old debate in Nick's house: Nick thinks he's hilarious, but Nick's wife... well, she has notes. To wrap things up, we get Jake's take on his favorite classic rock bands and explore which conspiracy theories he finds funny, believable, or just too crazy to put in a joke.
