New episode of "AcadianaCasts Presents" is live! 🎤

This week we’re joined by JP Leonard — the man behind Lafayette Comedy and the driving force turning Lafayette into one of the South’s top destinations for stand-up. From booking national acts like Shane Gillis and Tom Segura to hosting local open mics, JP shares how he built a thriving comedy scene from scratch… all without making eye contact on stage.

We also dive into the first-ever Lafayette Comedy Festival, happening August 7–9 at Club 337 and Gator Cove. JP opens up about the stress, strategy, and stubborn passion it takes to pull off ten shows in three days — featuring headliners like Casey Rocket, Kerryn Feehan, Marcella Arguello, and Shane Torres.

This one’s full of hilarious stories, honest insight, and JP’s hard-won advice for creators: “Don’t half-ass anything, whole-ass everything.”
