Kenny Murry

On this episode of Dante’s Inferno Podcast, comedian Dante Quitman sits down with comedian and journalist Kenny Murry for a hilarious and thoughtful conversation about the worlds of journalism and stand-up comedy.

Kenny talks about balancing life in the newsroom with life on stage, how reporting on real events influences his perspective as a comic, and the differences between writing stories for readers versus crafting jokes for a live audience. Dante and Kenny also dive into the art of dark comedy—why comedians are often drawn to uncomfortable topics, how humor can help process serious issues, and where the line is between pushing boundaries and crossing them.

The two also share stories from the stand-up circuit, discuss the grind of performing, and reflect on how comedy continues to evolve in today’s media landscape.

It’s an honest, funny, and wide-ranging episode about storytelling, truth, and finding humor in the darkest places.
