Ever wondered how a felony drug bust could lead someone to a successful career in comedy? In this episode of 'The Drunkalogues', Nick Morton sits down with stand-up comic Jimmy Shin, who takes us on his wild journey from aspiring lawyer to comedian. Jimmy's story starts with dreams of the courtroom but takes a sharp turn when he's caught up in a serious drug bust. This life-altering event forced him to rethink everything and find a new path.

With humor and heart, Jimmy shows us that even the darkest times can lead to unexpected and rewarding paths. Tune in for a conversation that's as funny as it is inspiring.
