This week on Funny You Should Mention, Mike Pesca (@pescami) sits down at the Comedy Cellar with comedian Geoffrey Asmus, whose new special The Only Funny White Man thrives on misdirection and letting the audience do the math. A road-tested, club-first comic who built his act the old-fashioned way, Asmus talks about how offensive jokes actually work, why he avoids Trump material, and how his funniest joke got shut down by his own mom.

This interview is from a Full episode of The Gist Podcast, Hosted by Mike Pesca.
