Getting Started: First Stand-Up Experiences

Every comedian has a unique story of how they got started in the world of stand-up. Willy Backs, a rising star in the NYC comedy scene, recalls his first open mic night as a nerve-wracking yet exhilarating experience. "I remember my hands shaking as I held the microphone, but once I heard the laughter from the crowd, I knew I was hooked," he shares.

Sofs Dope, known for her quick wit and hilarious observations, had a similar experience. "I had always loved making people laugh, so I decided to give stand-up a try. The first time I got on stage, I was terrified, but the rush I felt after delivering my jokes was indescribable," she says.

For Dave the Doorman, comedy was a way to share his unique perspective on life. "As a doorman in NYC, I've seen it all. Stand-up comedy became an outlet for me to share my funny anecdotes and connect with people on a different level," he explains.

The Highs and Lows of Being on Stage

Being on stage as a comedian can be both exhilarating and challenging. Willy Backs reveals that the high of making an entire room erupt in laughter is unlike anything else. "When you hit that punchline and the whole room is laughing, it's an incredible feeling. It's like a drug," he admits.

Sofs Dope acknowledges that not every performance goes as planned. "There are nights when the audience doesn't respond as expected, and it can be disheartening. But those moments teach you resilience and make you a better comedian," she says.

Dave the Doorman adds that the ability to adapt to different audiences is crucial. "You have to be able to read the room and adjust your material accordingly. It's all about connecting with the audience and making them laugh," he advises.

The Secrets Behind Comedic Success

What does it take to succeed in the competitive world of stand-up comedy? According to Willy Backs, it's all about persistence and constantly honing your craft. "You have to keep writing, performing, and learning from your experiences. It's a never-ending process," he emphasizes.

Sofs Dope believes that authenticity is key. "Be true to yourself and your comedic style. Audiences appreciate genuine humor, so don't try to be someone you're not," she advises.

Dave the Doorman shares a valuable tip for aspiring comedians. "Don't be afraid to take risks and push boundaries. The best comedy often comes from taking unexpected angles and challenging societal norms," he suggests.

As our episode comes to an end, we thank Willy Backs, Sofs Dope, and Dave the Doorman for sharing their insights and making us laugh along the way. Tune in to "Talk About It with Franjez Podcast" for more fascinating conversations with interesting guests from various walks of life.
