Soup's On

Nathan Lund has a casual, regular-guy energy on stage that makes his stand-up feel like a conversation with a friend at a bar who has had a few too many club sodas. Rather than trying to reinvent the medium, he leans into a relaxed, conversational style, finding humor in the absurdities of aging out of your favorite city and dealing with the aggressively masculine parts of a new wife’s family tree.\n\nRecorded at The Lincoln Lodge in Chicago and released on YouTube by Four by Three Productions in August 2023, the hour highlights a transitional era for Lund. He is a staple of the Denver comedy scene, a regular at Comedy Works, and co-host of the podcast Chubby Behemoth alongside Sam Tallent. At this point in his life, he has traded Denver for a small town in southern Colorado, and much of his material stems from that shift—specifically, his confusion over the massive trucks that dominate small-town roads and the bizarre trend of axe-throwing bars. Other standout segments include a surreal pitch for a Tempur-Pedic bed-toilet combo born from a drunken mishap and a breakdown of the performative masks people wore during the pandemic.
