Stand Up Comedian (with Quincy Johnson II)

from Half Hour Intern · host Blake Fletcher

What would you say if I asked you to get up in front of a crowded room and give a speech? Statistics say that you would probably not be too happy about it. Public speaking is the #1 fear in America; more than bugs (which is mind blowing to me), more than heights, clowns, you name it. Now multiply that fear times the fear of trying to make a room full of people laugh and having them just sit there, wondering when you’re going to be done so they can get their night back on track. If only the fear study had asked people about doing stand up comedy, surely it would be in a class all to itself. Today’s guest, Quincy Johnson II, knows all about that fear, the horror of not having people laugh at your jokes, and the amazing feeling of completely killing it onstage and bringing a whole room together. So what are those highs and lows like, and would it be worth trying out?
