Welcome to the In on the Bit: a Rise Comedy Podcast — where comedy begins, grows, and gets real. Hosted by alternating voices from the Rise Comedy community — Josh Nicols (improviser) and Christie Buchele (stand-up comic) — this weekly show dives deep into the experiences of performers at Rise Comedy in Denver, Colorado, and beyond. Whether you’re a comedy nerd, a brand new comic, or a seasoned performer looking to remember the thrill of your first open mic, this podcast is for you. Each episode captures candid conversations about starting out, bombing hard, finding your voice, and building community — all with heart, humor, and a little chaos. 🎭 Rise Comedy’s mission is to be a safe, supportive space for people to learn and explore all forms of comedy. This podcast is an extension of that mission. Tune in, nerd out, and Rise up.
