Welcome to Comedy Saved Me
A PODCAST ABOUT THE POWER OF COMEDY
Comedy Saved Me features candid conversations with comedians from around the world about how humor carried them through their hardest moments. Guests have included Paul Mecurio, the show’s first guest, as well as Jim Florentine and Tony V.
The show is built on one idea: too many people struggle with anxiety and mental health in silence, without a safe place to talk about it. Each episode, a comedian shares their own journey and brings those challenges into the open, showing how comedy can heal, restore and sometimes save a life. Listeners come away laughing, and often feeling a little less alone.
