To Be Frank #19 Mat Edgar

On this episode of To Be Frank, Frank Castillo sits down with fellow Comedy Store alum and Austin comedy brother Matt Edgar for a raw, hilarious, and insightful convo that hits deep for any real comic. They talk door guy days, the grind of getting passed, how Roast Battle and road gigs shaped their careers, and the bittersweet lessons from comedy legends like Brody Stevens. They dive into what it really means to make it in comedy, how chasing festivals or industry attention can mess with your head, and why being good at your job behind the scenes matters as much as crushing on stage. From LA hustle to Austin freedom, from bombing to breakthroughs, it's an unfiltered look at the life behind the laughs. Also covered: anxiety, hypochondria, Rey Mysterio, throwing up, booking politics, open mic egos, and why listening to your sets might be the most powerful tool a comic has. 🔊 Real talk. Big laughs. No filters. Just comics being comics. Press play. Stay unfiltered.
