ONLY BOMBS! 39: Brandt Tobler | "I Outdreamed My Dreams" — Only Bombs! Comedy Podcast

Brandt Tobler joins me on Only Bombs! for a conversation about comedy, storytelling, taking chances, being broke, meeting your heroes, and how all of that played a part in his journey.

Brandt grew up in Wyoming, where becoming a comedian seemed so unrealistic that he said he thought he had a "better chance of becoming an astronaut." We get into his move to Las Vegas, chickening out of stand-up for two years, bombing his way through the early days and eventually realizing that being more honest and vulnerable made people connect with him even more.

This one goes everywhere. Brandt names a ton of very famous comedians he worked with and how they affected his own growth. One of my favorite stories he tells is how Brad Garrett helped push him to also become an author.

Eventually Brandt says something that really sums up the entire conversation: “I outdreamed my dreams.”

That stuck with me during the interview itself, and I wanted to make a note of that for this actual release.

I had already read Free Roll before we sat down and genuinely loved the book. Getting to hear Brandt talk about how it actually came together, including the moment he held the finished book for the first time and started crying in the middle of a Chick-fil-A, made this episode even more special.

Brandt, thank you for coming over, being open, and talking comedy with me. I really enjoyed this one. I learned a lot, and I am looking forward to having you back, bud.
