I figure if Critical James Theory is going to pivot into finding the funny in heartbreaks & disappointment, my heartbreaks should be the first up to bat.Recorded this episode a week after a bad breakup in September 2025.

Episode 44! We apologize for the audio quality; we recorded this in a car, but we'll be back to better quality going forward! This episode is actually from January 2025, when comedian Jabari Dorth and I were on the road from a comedy festival in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Hopefully, you guys enjoy a unique look inside what goes on in the car when comedians travel together. Here's a hint: it's really dumb!

Episode 43! Solo episode. Sick and in the bed but this was the last episode of 2024 while I was without a studio. The show will be back in this month with new episodes but for now, enjoy how I spent Thanksgiving, getting sick at a comedy club, and thoughts on Luigi!

Episode 41! The podcast was officially on the road! The dynamic improv/sketch comedy team (which I am proud to be a member of) NYTEShift (@nyteshiftcomedy) headlined the 2024 Uptown Improv Festival in Utica, New York, and we recorded a little mini episode after breakfast. Not everyone on the team is on this episode; Jabari, Tanya, and Tia (who also lost her voice) were out teaching workshops while Marce and Kelly couldn't make the trip. ENJOY!
