Guided by the belief that anyone can learn to become funnier once they understand what to practice, the Funny Muscle Podcast aims to break down how pro comics get their best laughs. Comedian turned author Mike Lukas and cohost Chris Stiffler, an economics professor and open mic-er, use the game plan and concepts outlined in the Funny Muscle Book series to give listeners a better idea of how original (and funny) jokes are crafted.Copyright 2024 All rights reserved.

    A Post-Bomb Recovery Plan
    Jun 15 2026

    What do you do after a bomb? This week, Mike breaks down the difference between a joke bombing, an open mic bombing, and a full-scale set meltdown in front of a real audience, sharing the lessons he's learned from all three. We talk about the productive and unproductive ways to dwell on failure, how long you should let it bother you, and when it's time to stop sulking, start analyzing, get blue-printing and turn disaster into improvement.
