In this hilarious and heartfelt episode, I sit down with Berlin-based comedian Richie Schäfer — a former model, world traveler, and now one of Germany’s funniest rising comics.

We dive into everything from bombing on stage to spiritual awakenings, from German vs. English comedy to Richie's wild days working in Korea and Australia.

Richie shares stories of his time performing in front of tough crowds, the struggle between confidence and self-doubt, and how he's using self improvement to improve in comedy. Expect deep laughs, honest reflections, and some "questionable" World War jokes.

🎙 Topics include:

• Finding your comedic flow (and what kills it)

• Why German audiences laugh differently

• The shadow side of being “too nice”

• Spirituality, psychedelics, and Joe Rogan’s influence

• Life lessons from heartbreaks, hangovers, and hustle

• The art of starting before you’re ready

If you love comedy, self-growth, or just want to hear two good friends roast each other while getting philosophical — this one’s for you.
