Producing a Comedy Special with Michael Pasvar

Dallas comedian Michael Pasvar joins the fellows to break down his new comedy special Blended Feathers (now on YouTube). The special is a perfect case study in the Funny Muscle methodology—built on a clear, consistent comedy lens that carries through every bit.

We dive into the process of producing a special, shaping material to fit your persona, and the role vulnerability plays in making jokes hit harder. It’s part comedy breakdown, part behind-the-scenes, and part reminder that the best material usually comes from the stuff you’re slightly afraid to say out loud.
