Brian Simpson is a stand-up comic hailing from Austin, TX, where this was in fact recorded as part of SXSW! With a background as a foster child and Marine Corps veteran, Brian brings a rare blend of life experiences to his comedy, offering a refreshingly unique perspective. He's earned a spot on Variety's Top Comics to Watch in 2023 and you might recognise Brian from Comedy Central's Lights Out With David Spade, or his debut Netflix special, Brian Simpson: Live From The Mothership! We discuss how ADHD affects Brian's comedy, reflecting on mentor advice and learning to embrace discomfort along with the therapeutic value and healing potential of comedy.
