ABOUT THIS EPISODE
"From Jail Cell To Opening For Mike Epps"
This week I’m joined by comedian Pooh Hefner Jr., who survived jail, opened for Mike Epps, and turned his struggles into punchlines.
Poo Hefner Jr., who has opened for major names like Mike Epps and Gary Owen, shares what it was really like doing three years in jail and how that experience shifted his mindset forever. He talks about surviving 90 days in solitary confinement, rehearsing jokes in the dark to stay sane, and how comedy became his escape.
Now a viral sensation with millions of views across platforms, Pooh breaks down the grind of the comedy game, why it is a long road to success, and the real advice he received from legends like Mike Epps that changed his perspective.
