In this episode, Michael shared some fascinating stories about his life as a comedian. One of the most talked-about topics was the balance between the demanding lifestyle of comedy and staying healthy—both physically and financially. When asked about whether a career in stand-up is unhealthy, Michael said:
“It doesn’t have to be. It can be healthy. Get a good sleep…”
He emphasized that while many comics often fall into the habit of drinking or worse, it’s not something all comedians do. As Michael put it: “Some do, some do more. But some people don’t. A lot of people don’t.”

It’s all about finding your own rhythm. For him, it’s about freedom. He likes to wake up naturally and live life on his own terms: “I woke up today at 11, and if I wasn’t doing this, I would’ve slept till 1. I wanna wake up naturally. I don’t wanna be told to wake up.”

Sounds like the dream, right? It’s that kind of attitude that fuels his passion for stand-up:
“I go do my show, then I’ll go home, edit some stuff, and go to sleep. Wake up and do the same process. That’s why I’m doing this. I do this so I can go to bed when I wanna go to bed and wake up when I wanna wake up.”
You’ll definitely get a fresh perspective on the ups and downs of being on the road, performing night after night.
