#48 With Frank King
On today\u2019s episode I talk to the infamous Frank King, The Mental Health Comedian. Why is he infamous? Just google Frank King Covid 19 and see all the misleading or just plain bad press about Frank. This is not why I had him on the show.
We talk about his run in with the press, escaping the fires in Oregon, a lifetime of comedy, faxing jokes to Jay Leno, 5 TEDX talks and speaking openly about suicide. \xa0He even goes so far as giving his number to anyone who just needs to talk.
More from his website:
Frank King was a quarter-finalist on Star Search\u2026he lost to a puppet. He\u2019s also appeared on A&E\u2019s An Evening at the Improv, Showtime\u2019s Comedy Club Network, and CNN\u2019s Business Unusual. In addition to telling jokes, he\u2019s been busy selling jokes. He\u2019s written nationally for Jay Leno, Joan Rivers, and Dennis Miller.
They\u2019ve called him the best thing to happen to after-dinner since dessert.
He\u2019s opened up for Jerry Seinfeld, Adam Sandler, Jeff Foxworthy, and Ron White. Most recently was himself opened up, by a crack team of cardiac surgeons, at the Oregon Heart and Vascular Institute\u2026who performed an aortic valve replacement, his second, and tossed in a double bypass, his first\u2026so he truly is, Funny at Heart.
As a Certified Laugh Coach, Stress Reduction Specialist, and Professional Comedian since 1985 who has totaled one marriage, two heart valves, and three cars, and turned a million dollar real estate portfolio, amassed by age 52, into, thanks to the recession and a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy filing, a $125,000 real estate portfolio by age 53, I offer time-tested tools for using humor to turn pain into punchlines, losses into laughs, and messes and stresses into successes.
