What happens when a comedy fan with zero stage time accidentally becomes a trusted curator in stand-up?
Meet Josiah Bourke — the low-key force behind Comedian Discovery and Comedian Discovery Live, two platforms that are quietly (but steadily) reshaping how comedy fans find their next favorite act. What started as a personal obsession with stand-up specials turned into something way bigger: a genuinely useful space where Netflix drops and DIY YouTube debuts are treated with the same care and attention.
Josiah somehow built what comics now call the “release radar” — a go-to schedule that helps comedians coordinate their releases and gives fans one central spot to stay in the loop. But here’s the twist: instead of turning it into a monetized circus or chasing clout, he’s focused on community. Think: less influencer energy, more “friend who sends you the good stuff before it goes viral.”
From designing promo graphics to producing indie shows in the Nashville suburbs, Josiah’s approach is refreshingly behind-the-scenes. Because he’s not a performer, he’s able to create space for others — building eclectic lineups, supporting comics at every level, and asking real questions about why even seasoned pros sometimes hesitate to promote their own work.
If you’re a fan of comedy, creativity, or just the idea of supporting artists in a way that actually matters, this episode is a thoughtful, unfiltered look at what it means to build something with purpose — without chasing followers or selling out.
