Mike Larsen: The Comedy of Politics

When SOMEBODY Needs To Tell Joke!

Comedian Mike Larsen returned to Whiskey Business and was locked and comedically loaded to talk about the aftermath of November 7th voting while also taking a peek at the presidential election in 2024. Politics are always divisive but if we don’t find a way to laugh, we cry. No tears on this episode. The conversation got serious at times but laughter was never too far away. Larsen, who had a long career in television comedy writing while living in Los Angeles actually ran for office here in Ohio when he decided to call it career in Hollywood and come back to simpler ways of living. Yeah. So run for office. Thats simple. He witnessed the political machinery first hand and came away “funnier” and wiser for the experience. Enjoy this episode as we offer up humor, empathy, apathy, some objectivity and as is the case with politics- no real answers.
