No insects were injured in comedian Steve Hofstetter’s new comedy special, “Kill the Butterflies.”
Instead, Hofstetter combines stand-up comedy with documentary interviews exploring comedians’ experiences with anxiety and mental health. He discusses his own mental health journey, along with more than a dozen comics.
His career has offered plenty of material for comedy and mental health issues, from hecklers to an audience member collapsing during his set. We discuss how he keeps his comedy fresh, what kind of dog is best for travel (think small), and what happens when a comedian unaccustomed to edibles tries one on stage.
Catch Steve Hofstetter on July 15 at the Columbus Funny Bone.
