Learning To Stand Up
by Matthew Bell
I'm a 40 something year old man who has always had a passion for stand up comedy and a complete dread of public speaking. When my marriage ended, I decided to take control of my life back and pursue my long time dream of being a stand-up comedian. I'm 20 years older than the average starting comedian, but I'm 20 years more cynical too. This podcast will be an honest and at times brutal look into my new venture in stand up comedy while balancing a kid, a career, and a struggle with depression. Laugh at me, cheer me on, but follow my story as I reinvent myself.

LTSU Episode 1
I start my comedy endeavor in earnest in just a few days. I wanted to get the ball rolling with a bit of an introduction to who I am. And because I care about your time, I didn't want to subject you to too much of me alone, so I invited a good friend, Shakara Robinson, to interview me. Shakara…
