If you’ve ever wished you could catch a top-notch Nashville comedy show without fighting downtown traffic, your wish just came true. Thanks to Josiah Bourke, creator of Comedian Discovery, the laughs are coming right to your backyard.

Josiah describes himself as “a comedy nut that’s never been on stage—and doesn’t want to be.” A National Guard Reservist and corporate professional by day, husband and father by heart, Josiah’s passion project began two years ago when he noticed something missing: suburban audiences weren’t heading downtown for live comedy.

His solution? Bring the comics to the people.

From coffee shops and community venues to local theaters, Comedian Discovery transforms everyday spaces into laughter-filled stages. Josiah’s favorite spots are coffee shops—small, cozy, and perfect for an after-hours crowd. The result is a triple win: “Comics get more stage time, venues get additional business, and audiences get access to great shows close to home,” he says. “Comics are happy. Venues are happy. Audiences are happy.”

Unlike many producers in the comedy scene, Josiah operates at what he calls a “break-even point.” His motivation isn’t profit—it’s purpose. “I want to be too good to be true,” he says. True to his word, Josiah pays comics the same night they perform, earning a reputation for honesty and integrity in an industry that often falls short.

Next Friday, October 24, White House, TN will take its turn in the spotlight as The Fellowship Coffee House hosts Comedian Discovery for a night of laughter featuring several Nashville favorites—including Dr. Ben, recently crowned Nashville’s Funniest Comedian.

Seating is limited, and tickets are selling fast. Don’t miss your chance to enjoy an unforgettable night of laughter—right here at home.
