Headlining nationwide, Jeremy explores themes of faith, doubt, parenthood, and growing up "raised weird" with a calm, precise delivery. He has a gift for pulling audiences into unexpected conversations — and keeping them laughing the whole way through. Check him out!

In this episode, Jeremy Alder shares his unique journey from being homeschooled in Texas to navigating college life and eventually finding his passion in stand-up comedy.
