The Public Access Podcast 621 - Comedy AI and the Art of Making Shit Funny with Mike Lukas
🗓️ Recorded: April 4, 2025 | ⏱️ 55 minutes

What happens when a Second City vet meets ChatGPT?
This episode is the answer, and it’s got teeth.

Mike Lukas has done it all: toured with comedy giants, opened the Second City stage in Vegas, and now? He’s using AI to spitball show names and punch up punchlines, but he’s crystal clear on one thing: tech ain’t funny unless a human makes it land.

We talk:
🧠 How to train an AI on your comedy voice (and why you probably shouldn’t… yet)
🎭 Why improv is about love and stand-up is a knife fight
💥 The million-word challenge that rewired Mike’s writing brain
⚙️ The truth about using AI as a tool, not a crutch
📍 And what it really takes to stay funny in a world that’s half digital, half dumpster fire

Whether you’re a comic, creator, tech nerd, or just someone trying to be less boring, this convo has got layers.
