This week, Caitlin Comeskey joins Nighttime Benders for a lively, wide-ranging conversation about comedy, poker, and everything in between. With roots in theater and burlesque, Caitlin has spent the past several years making her mark in poker—as a player, content creator, and behind-the-scenes force. She and Julia Reed Nichols talk about being a woman at the table, the different pulls of tournament glory and the cash-game grind, and what it’s like to ride a winning streak in Vegas.
They also get into rage-bait algorithms, online criticism, first open mics, Austin’s changing character, and the modern manosphere. Along the way, there are stories about getting stood up, family Halloween costumes, and the kind of friendship that can handle a questionable joke. Smart, candid, and delightfully sidetracked, this episode is for anyone curious about poker and comedy.
