Andy Franklin Rules

Living with an ex because neither person can afford to break the lease is a miserable reality, and Andy Franklin treats it like an inevitable domestic comedy of errors. He focuses on the small embarrassments of the arrangement, from negotiating refrigerator shelves to tiptoeing around each other during late-night kitchen runs, without trying to make himself look noble in the fallout.

Recorded at Comedy Corner Underground in Minneapolis, the hour arrived in early 2026 through Comedy Dynamics. It catches Franklin after years on the Texas club circuit and his 2024 half-hour Fun & Cool. While his earlier act leaned into stories from his days teaching public school, this set centers on forty-something dating, depressive spells, and the awkward mechanics of starting over.

Franklin keeps the rhythm loose, frequently stepping off his planned material to chat with the basement crowd. When he returns to his prepared jokes, he picks at regional culture shock, Midwestern racial dynamics, and the strange ritual of stopping at Buc-ee’s.
