## Resource

Jeff Arcuri nearly canceled Nice to Meet You before therapy, trusted comic friends, and a month away from the footage helped him see what he had made. The comedian talks with Kyle Meredith about how corporate gigs, cruise ships, and 15 years of stand-up shaped his crowd work, while the Netflix special finally proves there’s much more to his act than improvisation. Arcuri also opens up about finding the right way to address his wife Katie’s cancer diagnosis, the strange sadness that followed the taping, adjusting his delivery overseas, and already having enough material for a new hour that he now needs to start cutting jokes.
