Brandon Wardell on No Jumper
Comedy, Podcasts, VideosOne of my favorite young comedians Brandon Wardell pays a visit to the No Jumper podcast. I’m about halfway through, but so far it’s a lot of fun and friendly comedy, drug, relationship and sex talk (“head is sick” hahaha)…and I feel like it keeps getting better as I listen/watch so I’m curious to see what else they get into. Check it out, and peep a short but solid Brandon Wardell stand up set HERE if you’ve never seen him do his thing.
