(B)MIB - #67: Stephen Rosenfield (Stand-Up Comedy Professor)

I have a humorous conversation with Director, Professor of Stand-Up Comedy, Author, and Founder/Director of the American Comedy Institute (ACI), Stephen Rosenfield. We discuss how Stephen told his father after dinner that he was “not masturbating at the moment,” how he began to coach comics as a theatre director, seeing Lenny Bruce perform live, the vulnerability of Richard Pryor, the importance of comedy within the context of the human experience, founding the American Comedy Institute in 1989, teaching a young Jim Gaffigan, being inclusive of people with disabilities, finding the joy of performing onstage, writing his book Mastering Stand-Up: The Complete Guide to Becoming a Successful Comedian, Stephen’s new book, and much more.
