The 85 South Comedy Show
Four Atlanta comedians riff on culture, sports, and street life in a loose, unfiltered, living-room style conversation.
This is less a structured podcast and more a filmed hangout session with professional comedians. Set in a relaxed, lounge-like studio, the hosts engage in long-form, free-associative riffing that feels like eavesdropping on a green room conversation. Topics are merely launchpads for personal anecdotes, outrageous hypotheticals, and relentless roasting, all delivered with a distinct Atlanta flavor.
“Unlike more structured comedy podcasts, 85 South thrives on its chaotic, multi-person dynamic and improvisational energy. Its strength lies in the hosts' established chemistry, allowing them to veer from serious commentary to absurd, explicit humor in an instant.”

What you'll be asked on this show
Interviews are rare and extremely informal, feeling more like a guest has dropped into the middle of the hosts' regular conversation. There's no formal introduction; the dialogue starts organically. The hosts frequently interrupt the guest (and each other) with comedic bits, personal anecdotes, and rapid-fire questions, pulling the conversation in multiple directions at once. They use the guest's expertise as a jumping-off point for their own riffs rather than conducting a structured Q&A.
The show is a video-first, multi-host conversation, typically over 90 minutes long. The format is extremely loose, with topics flowing organically and often spiraling into explicit tangents. Physical comedy and acting out scenarios are common, making the visual component essential.
