Maybe Some Other Time

Hi! My name is Carl Johnson. I"m a working comedian from Michigan and have been doing stand up comedy since 2010. I"d like to think of this as the unofficial Michigan comedy podcast. The comedy scene here has grown since I started and there’s a lot of talented people and more clubs. I love talking to funny, complicated humans. They"re my people. I sit down with a Michigan comedian or a comedian that started here each week and it"s an honest and fun conversation. Join me in getting to know one of the
