EP158: Aditya Mayya Hangs

We sit down with comedian Aditya Mayya in the studio for this one. A longtime friend and keyboardist for ALICE ELLIOT, Aditya dives into the development of his one man show centered around suicide, a personal project that balances weight with humor. We get into his writing process and just how gratifying a well written joke can be while building something this personal. While the subject matter runs heavy, the conversation doesn’t stay there as we get into music, past shenanigans, and a shared longing for the old use of exclamation points.
