Hi! My name is Carl Johnson. I'm a working comedian from Michigan and have been doing stand up comedy since 2010. I'd like to think of this as the unofficial Michigan comedy podcast. I know what you're thinking. "Michigan has a comedy scene"? Yes...and it's very good! There's a lot of talented, funny people here, more than you think. I love talking to funny, complicated humans. They're my people. I sit down with a Michigan comedian or a comedian that started in Michigan each week and it's an honest and fun conversation. Join me to get to know one of the most underrated comedy scenes in the country and the funny people behind it.

One of the best

If you have an interest in comedy in any way this podcast is a must. Always entertaining and very interesting to hear how everyone’s comedy journey differs and even how much they can relate on experiences. This podcast celebrates comedians at all levels and I think that’s very important.

Entertaining & Helpful

I’ve been listening to the ‘Maybe Some Other Time’ podcast for about a year now & I always look forward to additional episodes. It’s wonderful to get to know other performers, their backgrounds, and their take in a relaxed, entertaining fashion. Highest Recommendation for interested listeners!
