On The Set‑Up 🎙️
Mike Mitchell sits down with Max Sheldrick, Mitch VK & Doug Koning to talk about life on the road and building comedy the hard (and hilarious) way with the No Collar Comedy Tour.
They get into:
🔥 The evolution from Hot As Heck Tour → No Collar Comedy
🧠 The origin story (and zero fights during planning)
🤝 Why chemistry matters more than hype
🎟 Touring without corporate backing and the biggest challenges
🏘 Going to smaller towns & “un‑burning” venues other comics gave up on
🔄 Resetting rooms into comedy venues… then changing them back
📉 Being LATE on day one + the trombone guy at the airport
📊 Learning the business side of comedy early
📱 Social media comics vs stand‑up comics
💿 Indie comedy albums vs label releases
🙏 Audiences showing real appreciation when comics come to their province
🧭 Creating a blueprint for independent comedy tours
🎤 Mentoring younger comics & paying it forward because you never know who they’ll become
This episode is about doing it yourself, learning as you go, and leaving comedy better than you found it.
