This week Jay sits down with comedian Craig Shoemaker to talk about Craig’s early stand-up days, the impact of radio on his career, and the wild comedy circuit of the late ’70s and ’80s. Craig also opens up about being kidnapped as a teenager, growing up without a father, navigating dysfunctional family dynamics, and how those experiences fed into his comedy. They also riff on legendary comics, early road gigs, impressions, and the strange, sometimes dark paths that lead people into a life onstage. 🌐 Follow Craig Instagram: @officialcraigshoemaker Facebook: @craigshoemaker1 YouTube: @craigshoemaker Tour Dates: craigshoemaker.com ✅ Subscribe to Jay Mohr for Fresh Content: https://www.youtube.com/@JayMohr37?sub_confirmation=1 🌐 Follow Jay Mohr on all socials @JayMohr37 Instagram: @jaymohr37 Facebook: @jmohr37 TikTok: @jaymohr37 Substack: @jaymohr37 Jay Mohr Tour Dates: https://JayMohr.com Music: "Rise" by Lady Owl
