Dissecting Frogs – Details, episodes & analysis

Dissecting Frogs is a stand-up comedy podcast about the craft of stand-up comedy — not another comedian-interview show, but a breakdown of how jokes and sets actually work. Hosted by three working stand-up comedians, Kelly, Robbie, and Kate, of the Rose City Comedy Collective, each episode picks apart a different piece of the craft: stage persona, joke construction, writing process, audience and ethics, and the changing tools comics use to work. The name comes from the old line about how examining a joke too closely can kill it — the tension the show leans into on purpose. Expect real disagreement, some genuinely useful comedy theory, and plenty of unrelated banter along the way. For comedians, aspiring comedians, and anyone who wants to understand what's actually happening when a joke lands.
