Summary
On this week’s episode, I’m talking about how I got started in comedy and some of the events that have shaped my career in the first of a three-part series.
Tune in to hear about:
- My first public performance in a Pizza Hut
- Opening for Muse as my first paid performance, and why they asked me not to come back
- How working on a cruise ship caused me to pivot my career, but taught me to perform at my best no matter what my job was
