Worked so early in the morning that the mic was like, I'm not going to sleep.

Like I'm going to have to go to the mic, then get up.

Then get up and do your life.

Yeah.

And then got to a better situation, got like a different job and got.

the most ideal schedule you could ask for as like a working comic.

I got a shift that was from 10 a.m.

to 6 p.m.

And from there, I started getting past it, more clubs, because it was a lot like a dam breaking.

Like anything that you do, especially with like artistic,

um artistic pursuits there is a a sort of snowball effect and then someone takes a chance on you it makes someone else more likely to take a chance on you and everything and so that interest sort of begets more interest and so and so i got past it pretty much all the clubs in chicago and that's when i decided to move to new york because i sort of hit a ceiling and everything and

And so I moved with some friends and then we were going out together once again, like doing mics, trying to get on shows and everything.

I did.

I went to college in Louisiana.

Got it.

Yeah.

And you majored in light directing?

Yeah, like light design.

Light design.

No, I didn't think it was a way to get in at all.
