Sky King's Mental Playground
Building a Comedy Festival and Betting It All with Jake from Joke WRLD
Jake had never produced a live show before, then he built a comedy festival with 58 shows in two days. With ticket sales crawling, performers flying in, and the fear of more comedians than fans, the guy behind Joke WRLD found himself betting everything on a first swing that had no business working. This is a raw look at creative risk, entrepreneurship, comedy culture, and what happens after the big bet actually pays off. Jake and I get into the hidden economy of stand-up, why some creators can build anywhere, and the uncomfortable truth behind turning YouTube attention into real freedom. The festival was only the beginning.
