EPISODE SUMMARY
In this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, featuring Joe Rogan and Don Gavin, Joe Rogan Experience #1418 - Don Gavin explores boston Comedy Legend Don Gavin Recounts Wild Origins Of Standup Boom Joe Rogan sits down with Boston comedy pioneer Don Gavin to revisit the birth, peak, and collapse of the 1980s Boston standup explosion. They detail the rough bar origins of clubs like the Ding Ho and Nick’s, the hyper-aggressive Boston style, and how a small, hard-partying group of comics created one of the strongest scenes in the country. Gavin shares war stories about drugs, IRS trouble, vicious club politics, road gigs, and why many Boston killers never became nationally famous. They close by discussing Gavin’s late-career push to finally release his standup album and embrace modern platforms and social media.
