Everyone at West End Comedy Festival told Joel the same thing you have to stay and watch Good Cop Rad Cop. In this clip the musical comedy duo breaks down that first impression moment, how a one off show in Chattanooga turned into their main act, and why they literally cut their standup money in half to do it. They also share the very real road math of splitting chicken fingers, getting paid in Starbucks gift cards from Bobcat Goldthwait, and playing sold out theaters one night then 15 people the next.

If you are obsessed with how unique acts actually start and survive, this is a perfect peek behind the curtain.
