Granite State Funny: Juston McKinney on Columbus Day Stand-Up and His New Special

Juston McKinney drops into the studio to break down the sheer madness of daily family life in New Hampshire. Known for taking the mundane realities we all live through—parenting struggles, regional quirks, and surviving local winters—and turning them into gold, Juston reminds us why finding humor in our own backyards is the best way to get through the week.

The conversation turns to the main events: Juston’s upcoming Columbus Day stand-up performance at The Palace in Manchester and the highly anticipated release of his brand-new comedy special on December 1st. He gives listeners an inside look at what it takes to build a killer set, the art of crafting regional satire, and what fans can expect when his new video drops just in time for the holidays.

Closing out the visit, Jeff and Juston explore why local comedy hits so close to home. With his signature sharp wit and relatable observations, Juston leaves the studio on a high note, delivering the kind of lighthearted, effortless humor that turns an average morning drive into a genuinely great day.
