“I never thought that I would be a professional comedian...I thought it would be a hobby,” says Lissow. “I went to law school for one week, and was pretty sure it was not for me. I was just out of my depth, and I was like, I saw how much money I was going to owe if I went for three years. I did one show and made, I’m not kidding you, $50, free bowling, and a Motel 6, and it was amazing. I couldn’t believe I was getting paid to do jokes. And I went home from law school, it was a two-hour drive, and my dad was like sitting on the couch reading the newspaper, and I just poured my heart out and said, ‘I want to try stand-up, and I don’t know if I want to be in law school anymore.” And my dad put his newspaper down, drove me to law school, and moved all my stuff back to our house, and said you’ve got to give this a year or else you’re going to regret it."

Tickets are on sale now. Check out the full interview to hear about how Jamie got onto “Gutfeld!” and the weirdest place he performed standup.
