Selling Out Arenas, the Weight Loss Roller Coaster, and Laughing Through the Pain with Rip Micheals | 25

This week on We Playin’ Spades, we’ve got a real heavy hitter of the NYC comedy world and a member of the Wild ‘n Out family at the Turquoise Table. Rip Micheals squares up against Nick and Courtney, along with his Spades partner comedian Joe Show, and they’re bringing the trash talk. Rip gives us some game on selling out arenas in NYC, how he learned the comedy business on his own, and why standup is more important than most things in his life. The crew gives Madea her flowers and debates whether she could beat Big Momma. And Rip opens up about his weight, recent health issues, and his love life. But the deep talk isn’t bigger than the smack talk at the bodega. Oh, and if you owe Rip some money, give him a shout! We’re laughing through the tears on this week’s episode of We Playin’ Spades!
