Mike Lukas: How I Went Bald While Jason Sudeikis Got Famous
Season 2
Episode 19
Published 1 year, 11 months ago
Description
Mike Lukas was once Jason Sudeikis's roommate at Second City, happened to be performing in Las Vegas on 9/11, and has since written books about the mechanics of comedy and appeared on The Tonight Show, not necessarily in that order.
Mike Lukas is an American stand-up comedian known for his dynamic performances and appearances on The Tonight Show and Conan, and for his Funny Muscle books, which offer a behind-the-scenes look at the craft and mechanics of comedy.
- What his Lithuanian heritage brings to a comedy voice that defies easy categorisation
- The craft behind the Funny Muscle books — and what writing about comedy teaches you about doing it
- The Second City pranks with then-roommate Jason Sudeikis — and the diverging trajectories that followed
- Why watching someone else's version of success up close is one of the most clarifying experiences available
