Dave Mowry is also turning mental illness into humor

In part one of today’s show, we talked about shows that brand themselves as “dark humor” to position themselves more favorably. In part two, we talked to someone who wrote a book of actual dark humor about his time in the military. Now, in part three, we’re talking to someone who became a stand-up comedian as a way to channel his anxiety and bipolar disorder into – you guessed it – dark humor. I didn’t set the whole day up this way. It just kind of happened. Maybe the universe is telling us something.
