JOE JACOBS on the standup circuit, comedy legends, PC culture, Jack Dee, Eurotrash, rap vs comedy and more!

SHOTGUN THE AUX PODCAST

On this episode we are joined by London based rapper and stand up comedian - Joe Jacobs (aka Jester Jacobs).
We chat to Joe about some of his most embarrassing standup stories, being inspired by the likes of Jack Dee and Jerry Sadowitz (who might have once threatened to kill him), the impact of PC culture on comedy, rap audiences vs comedy audiences, the evolution of comedy in the Internet age, and why sometimes you just need to "eat shit" to grow as a comedian.
Stay locked for Joe's documentary "Hip Hop's Laughing Stock" dropping on BBC Radio 4 in September 2020.
