Becoming Joker and Harley Quinn: A Live Dallas Comic Show Conversation | The Clubhouse Podcast 16-26

The Clubhouse heads to Dallas Comic Show for a live Q&A that goes completely off the rails—in the best possible way.
Rob Ervin sits down with voice actors Scott Gibbs and Carly Hoke, the voices behind Joker and Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad Isekai, to talk anime, DC fandom, improv, and the weird paths that lead actors into a voiceover booth.
From fourth-grade theater trauma and professional princess gigs to anime titles that feel like full paragraphs, Scott and Carly break down what it’s really like stepping into iconic characters with massive fan expectations. They dive into how improv, instinct, and bold choices shape performances—and why sometimes you just have to make the choice and go.
Along the way, there’s plenty of nerd talk (Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League, anime naming conventions, DC animation supremacy), heartfelt moments about dreaming big, and just enough chaos to remind you why live comic-con conversations are undefeated.
If you’ve ever wondered how someone goes from loving a character… to becoming that character—this episode is for you.
