#128: Talking Sci-fi And Stand-up Comedy With Jeremiah Ukponrefe

Drunken Pen Writing Podcast

In this episode, we talk with writer and stand-up comedian Jeremiah Ukponrefe. We open things up with a quick chat about what current comedians we enjoy.

Afterward, Jeremiah tells us about Hive, his first sci-fi novel in a nine-part series. We also discuss the hardships of promoting work in an oversaturated market and how being a stand-up comedian actually helps with book sales.

Jeremiah also tells us about the comedy landscape in his home country of Canada, the difficulties of touring, and his goal of moving to Europe to further his career in stand-up.

Due to time constraints, Jeremiah had to leave a bit early, so to make up for it, Caleb ends the show with a needlessly gross story that we know you will enjoy.
