Starting Out

Have you ever been interested in putting yourself out there and trying something creative? Starting Out is an interview show that explores people's honest, raw accounts of starting something. Hosted by stand-up comedian Nick Durie, who himself started stand-up at the ripe age of 37, Starting Out features conversations mostly with stand-up comedians, with the occasional musician, writer, producer and others dropping by, and looking back on when they decided to try out something new, exciting, and scary.

This week’s guest actually told me he had been waiting to be asked to come on this pod since I started it up, and I’m so happy he had the patience to wait through 86 episodes and he still said yes, it’s Greg Houston on Starting Out! Greg joined me from his new-ish home base in the UK. We talk starting out in the Ottawa scene, the discipline and drive you have to have to take comedy seriously, and how much Greg contributed to building that scene up. And we spend a lot of time talking restarts - when you move cities and have to start basically from scratch. It was such a fun conversation with Greg that we didn’t want it to end and we finish talking about the uniqueness of the UK comedy scene. Follow Greg online @greghoustoncomedy. Thanks for listening.
