Second-time guest Neil Rubenstein tells us that we need to invest time to build trust to tell more personal jokes with an audience. Neil brings to the Art of Bombing podcast a ton of experience - he’s opened for a twelve-year-old catchphrase comic, and he’s been sandwiched between two 90’s era pop bands. These things have made him the to-the-point comic he is today.
Neil believes it’s important to have relationships, ask for help, and use humility in our careers, but equally as important is the confidence and awareness to take responsibility for your successes. Dan Bublitz Jr jams with Neil about his past family trauma shaping his comedy, setting expectations with adjacent-show bookers, calibrating expectations depending on your show, and the differences between stand-up comedy and other art forms.

Neil Rubenstein
Comedian Neil Rubenstein is a burly, tattooed guy who plays against type; kind, and cerebral, but still casually mentions past illegal activities (running a poker room, owning a brothel, etc.) the way one might reference a Renaissance Lit course you took in college.
