In this week’s episode of The Days Grimm Podcast, hosts Brian Day and Thomas Grimm sit down with stand-up comedian Dylan Kennedy — a rising comic from New Harmony, Indiana, a town with a cult-filled past and plenty of weird stories. Dylan shares his hilarious journey from small-town roots and cheap rent to performing live comedy sets across the Midwest, including Louisville’s legendary Planet of the Tapes.

The conversation dives deep into writing jokes, overcoming stage fear, growing up in a “cult-town,” and why sometimes the funniest stories come from total nonsense. Expect laughs, dark humor, and absurd honesty as Dylan explains his anti-humor style, TP pranks gone wrong, and how comedy became a life-saving outlet after hard times.

🔥 Topics Covered:

• Life and legends of New Harmony, Indiana
• How cult history inspires comedy
• Dylan’s first open mic at Spanky’s Bar
• What “anti-humor” really means
• The fine line between offensive jokes and great comedy
• Writing new material every week

🎧 Tune in for one of the funniest and most unpredictable Days Grimm episodes yet — where laughter meets storytelling, and weird meets wonderful.
