We are super excited and honored to have Dean Delray as our guest on No Simple Road this week! Dean Delray is a case study of turning passion into a labor of love, merging his affinity with music and comedy into a thriving career on stage and a growing podcast network. When he’s not talking to musicians on his podcast, Let There Be Talk, chances are he is headed to his next stand up comedy gig, having performed almost 5,000 times over the past 12 years. 

Delray’s path to the comedy stage started at open mic nights, honing his no-holds-barred and hard-livin' perspective that has earned him feature spots on The Joe Rogan Experience, WTF with Marc Maron, You Made it Weird with Pete Holmes and recently opening for Metallica at their 40th Anniversary concert. 

We talk with Dean about:

  • Beginning his stand-up career in his 40's.
  • Opening for Metallica's 40th Anniversary concerts.
  • How age-ism is present in the comedy world.
  • His point-of-entry into the comedy scene and doing stand-up.
  • The reason that loving what you are doing is the most important thing ever.
  • The ways in which playing music prepared him for what he is doing now.
  • How Dean got turned on to The Grateful Dead and why he hated them growing up.
  • How microdosing has helped to heal some deep mental stuff for him.
  • How his stand-up routine evolves.
  • Why word-of-mouth is so important.

... and so much more!
