Born in Asheville, North Carolina, this multifaceted entertainer has become one of the most thought-provoking voices in modern comedy through his wildly popular podcast "The Duncan Trussell Family Hour," where he engages in mind-bending conversations about consciousness, Buddhism, psychedelics, and the human condition.
