Elon Gold Gets REAL: Resilience & the Art of the Impression (ft. Eli Lebowicz!) | Buckle Up #57

Elon Gold (@elongold) built a huge standup career alongside comics like Adam Sandler, Dave Chappelle, Sebastian Maniscalco, and loads of other iconic artists. How'd he cultivate an attitude to allow him to survive the roller coaster? Elon opens up about success, family, and more, before turning the mics on Ami to dive deep into what makes a good impression. He's joined by Eli Lebowicz (@elicomedyagram), who just performed his first hourlong special to a sold out audience at Standup NY. 00:00 Intro 3:47 Pesach program Hell 7:30 Persians vs. Syrians 13:00 Elon’s take: VIBE Comedy 27:45 Elon’s early days with standup legends 37:50 Elon on HBO's Crashing 41:40 Sebastian Monoscalco STORY 53:00 SNL story: SANDLER beat Elon?!? 57:20 How does Elon NOT get jealous of other comics? 1:01:00 Why be a “Jewish comic” 01:08:30 Elon on Curb pt.
