About this episode

Joe Newcomer is one of those people you’re always happy to see. If you spend time around Austin comedy, you’ve probably seen him working, smiling, and getting ready for another stage. I wanted to sit down and hear how he became that person.In Episode 41 of Only Bombs!, Joe opens up about his life before stand-up, six years spent recovering, and finding something worth putting his whole heart into. We talk about Kill Tony, fatherhood, the friendships that shaped him, and learning to enjoy a life that still has its share of unfinished business.There’s plenty of laughter here, too. His dad’s advice is something else, and his answer to why he started doing comedy took us somewhere I wasn’t expecting.I appreciate how honest Joe was with me. He gives himself credit for the work he’s doing without pretending he got everything right along the way. I’m really glad we got to have this conversation.Follow Joe Newcomer:https://www.instagram.com/joenewcomer3/Follow Only Bombs!:https://www.instagram.com/onlybombspod/onlybombspod.com
