Stage Fright to Spotlight

from Messed-Up To Set-Ups - A MichaelHalcomb.Live Podcast Hosted by Michael Halcomb

Hi All. It’s Episode #72 of The Messed-Up to Set-Ups Podcast. In this episode, I sit down with Lon Kieffer. This dude…he’s fun. And he’s funny. Lon’s a seasoned comedian and I get to ask him all sorts of questions about his unique journey from nursing to the comedy stage. We dive head-first into the challenges and triumphs of stand-up. We also get into what it means to be authentic in a world that often demands conformity. (Yes, that often happens in the world of stand-up!) Lon opens up about many of his experiences and, perhaps bets of all, he gives insights into and advice for new comedians looking to find their voice. This is a super candid conversation filled with tons of laughs and lots of wisdom. I mean, just watch the first 5 seconds and you’ll see. So, whether you’re a seasoned comic or just starting out, there’s something here for you. Tune in! JOKE WRITING COURSE: By the way, if you have any interest at all in learning about your persona, how to write some jokes, or doing stand-up comedy, check out my online joke writing course, “The Joke Writer’s Lab,” HERE.
