    #244 - Authenticity with Comedian Jesse Singh

    In episode 244 of The Johnny Rogers Show, I sit down with stand up comedian Jesse Singh! Jesse explains why his chosen word for this episode is "Authenticity," directly challenging the old-school gatekeepers who claim that leveraging social media means you aren't a "real" comic. He reveals his writing process of never putting pen to paper, choosing instead to workshop raw premises live. Whether we are discussing the mental torture of comparing your comedy career to your peers or how to strategically sandwich experimental material into a set, this conversation is a raw look at the modern comedy grind.  A FREE way to support the show is by subscribing to ⁠⁠The Johnny Rogers Show⁠⁠ on YouTube - 🚨 NEW EBOOK ALERT!

    Lost Rock & Roll Archive FOUND After 45 Years

    In episode 241 of The Johnny Rogers Show, I sit down with legendary rock n’ roll photographer John Rowlands along with acclaimed music journalist and author Bob Klanac. We discuss their new book, Shooting Stars, Telling Tales, which chronicles John's wild life on the road, from dodging Pete Townshend’s hotel-pool-bound TV to sharing rice pudding with The Beatles. John reveals the terrifying moment he touched the fence at Area 51 and the career-defining day David Bowie told him, “I trust you. I like the way you see.” His word for the episode is "Happy," a reflection on finally reclaiming his life’s work after it was missing for 45 years.
