TOTAL SCHMIDT SHOW
**TOTAL SCHMIDT SHOW**
Comedian Lenny Schmidt has spent nearly four decades making a living performing live. Comedy clubs, theaters, cruise ships, television, film—and more than a few rooms that probably should never have had a microphone.
On **Total Schmidt Show**, Lenny sits down with the people who know that life firsthand: comedians, musicians, singers, dancers, magicians, actors, writers, and other professional entertainers he meets while traveling the world.
Some you've heard of. Some you haven't.
That's kind of the point.
**Total Schmidt Show shines a light on the working live entertainer**—the people who built real careers getting onstage, doing the work, entertaining audiences, and figuring out how to make a living in show business.
They talk about the craft, the road, the good gigs, the horrible gigs, travel, money, failure, success, and all the weird shit that happens when performing for strangers becomes your actual job.
The show grew out of Lenny's pandemic podcast, **Quarantine Comedy**, where live performers talked about surviving a world in which live performance suddenly disappeared. Total Schmidt Show continues that conversation by focusing on the people who are still out there doing it.
**Laugh. Travel. Eat. Repeat.**

Hey, Thanks for listening! Hit me back at this link, or find me on all socials @MrLennySchmidt
My first Virgin Voyages crusie was a blast. So much cool stuff available to the guests... really great experience, and I got to work with Nikki Carr.
Mad respect and a huge fondness in ,my heart for comics like Nikki. She's an old pro. Been there, done that. She's seen it all and done it all. She was one of the finalists on "Last Comic Standing" Always a pleasure to watch a 30 year pro work. She's funny and personal on stage... all the things that matter for me as a comic. It was those kind of comics that brought me into this business. You see yourself in them. Nikki is great at it. She makes it look easy, which it's not. It takes years of writing ajnd performing to really get to that point. A good comic makes it look easy. Nikki is one for sure.
