Neko White joins the show He’ been doing standup since 14 and has never had a day job. He discusses what it’s like to be a 14 year veteran and only be in his 20’s.
We also discuss the importance of act outs in comedy during the reopening. Plus the fallacy that act outs mean poor writing.
Neko opens up about staying late at clubs because it wasn’t always safe to travel back to his neighborhoods. And why comics should never assume they know what someone else is going through.
In the end we discuss why comics take the business serious and why that’s hard for people outside of the business to understand.
