No caption needed my mama and pops saw me on Netflix for 6 full seconds. I've never been more motivated to be great at comedy. More fuel for the flame. Now get to work!
Moved to Austin 2 years ago btw
Last night was epic. I got to work with a legend. Had the Yokota Air Base fam @outkast3d pulled up on me I appreciate you my nigga! Everybody on the show was solid extremely funny we had the crowd in stitches. The @attheimprov it's such a dope atmosphere. Eventually I want to be able to work all the improves they're easily my favorite Club chain. I am relentless when it comes to this comedy ish. I'm aways interested in knowing what the future looks like for me in comedy but learning from some of the Greats I have no other choice but to be on the right path.
To Amy Beth Castleberry - Research usually involves methodology, repeatable data, and conclusions that can survive scrutiny — not selectively attending 35 open mics and turning personal observations into “science.”
Austin comedy is too layered, chaotic, and inconsistent to reduce into identity-based conclusions about who jokes about what or what entire groups “represent.” Open mics change nightly based on the room, the host, the lineup, and the energy. That’s not controlled data — that’s anecdotal experience.
There’s also a difference between observing patterns and arriving with a thesis already in mind. Comedy isn’t divided into gendered content categories. Good comics are individuals with different perspectives, styles, and voices trying to figure it out in real time.
If the goal is understanding comedy culture, the answer is broader listening — not narrowing people into stereotypes and calling it research.
Respectfully, attending mics with a notebook and Canva slides does not suddenly make someone a behavioral scientist. Based on what I’ve seen, this feels less like objective research and more like starting with a conclusion first, then selectively interpreting experiences to support that narrative. That can happen to anybody when emotion, bias, or personal frustration gets mixed into analysis. Comedy scenes are complicated, and reducing them to simplified identity-based theories usually says more about the observer than the scene itself #austincomedy #austin #austinstandupcomedy
