CONVERSATE: Clint Hall part 1

I think part one is great, as far as the levels...part 2 might be a little bit off. clint and i have 2 completely different talking voices. Clint was born and raised in rural Indiana, the youngest of four children in a very funny household. He learned at a very early age, the best way to be heard by the rest of his family was to make them laugh. This was a lesson Clint carried with him on into school. Even in high school, he much preferred to entertain his basketball teammates with his jokes and impressions on long bus trips to actually playing in the games. After college Clint began working for the State of Indiana where he has remained as an employee or contractor for the past twenty-six years, first as an eligibility worker with the Food Stamp and Medicaid office and now as a Vocational Rehabilitation counselor. Clint still knew he wanted to entertain people which would lead him to professional wrestling. This experience allowed Clint to entertain as, stretch as a performer, get experience on the microphone and learn how to read an audience. Clint would continue in professional wrestling for five years eventually sharing cards with many stars of the day including former NWA World Champions Tommy "Wildfire" Rich and Barry Windham and WWE Hall of Famers "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig and Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy. Even then Clint’s decidedly unfit "Mr. Fitness" character was played more for laughs than menace. Eventually, after being inspired by the documentary "I Am Comic", Clint found his true calling in stand-up comedy. Over the past ten years Clint has quietly and steadily honed his craft. Along the way Clint has performed shows for organizations such as Touch Inc., Optimal Rhythms Inc./Access Academy, The TSA/AIDS Holiday Project, Special Olympics and Kosair Shriners and shared stages with performers as varied as Tonight Show veteran Mack Dryden, Chelsae Lately regular Christina Pazsitzky and Heywood Banks. It was after a show together in 2018 that Heywood Banks suggested the Clean Comedy Challenge to Clint. Clint followed this advice to attain his greatest success to date by winning the highly regarded 10th annual Clean Comedy Challenge in Nashville Tennessee against a stacked field of seasoned pros.
