Ep. 4 - Turner Sparks Gets Destroyed by Non-comedians in Flag Football

Turner Sparks, internationally touring headliner, and I lean pretty heavily into the Jokes portion of the podcast, but that's because I'm always so interested to hear from comics who have successfully moved to one of the coasts, especially after living abroad for so many years. That's Turner! Since moving stateside after many years in Suzhou, China, he has released two comedy albums (on Larry the Cable Guy's Git R Done Records, for real) and is touring all over. You may have seen him going for a run in your town! Check him out! TurnerSparks.comIn this conversation, Turner Sparks (@turnersparks on ig or @turnersparkscomedy on TikTok) shares his experiences and insights on pursuing a career in comedy. He discusses moving to New York City and getting started in the comedy scene, including plenty of barking at comedy clubs. Turner emphasizes the need to prioritize comedy and make sacrifices to succeed. He also highlights the importance of building a community and contributing to the comedy scene. Turner shares his goals of building a social media presence and embracing clean comedy. He offers advice to his younger self and young comedians, including the importance of understanding and filling your role on a bill. We also talk about running, the connection between physical fitness and comedy, and explore some interesting strategies for any basketball teams looking to implement a new defensive scheme. It was a great conversation to have, and I hope you enjoy hearing it!Wanna give a big shout out to my sponsors, who don't exist!
