Max Silvestri Tells Leah Beckmann's Upstate Cabin Story

Comedian Max Silvestri and writer Leah Beckmann have been together for seven years. They have a dog.

For years Max hosted the New York alt-comedy showcase Big Terrific, which Leah had been to a couple of times before approaching Max on the subway to say hi. Fast forward to today, when Jesse sits down with the couple to discuss what it’s like to be written about as a significant other, the vetting process for relationship jokes, and why buttholes work when assholes don’t.

Watch Max on Netflix’s The Comedy Lineup and see his work on Big Mouth. Read and watch Leah’s work on The Cut, Gawker, and Cartoon Network’s Summer Camp Island. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
