15. Getting Started in Stand-Up Comedy

It’s episode 15! In this episode, I introduce you to one of my stand-up comedy comrades in Hawai’i, Mr. Ian Shippen. In this first part of a two-part interview, we discuss Ian’s journey into stand-up, his move out of it, and how he found his way back to it. We also talk about his joke-writing processes, his stage persona, and what it’s like to have a girlfriend who’s also a comedian. To watch this episode on YouTube go HERE.
