TV commercials, movies, stage and stand-up comedy - not to forget, although he's prefer that you did, an appearance on Hey Hey, It's Saturday's 'Red Faces' - makes  CJ Fortuna a man of many talents. More recently, he's starred in the stand-up comedy movie, The Heckler, the screwball comedy, Spin Out, won Best Actor at the Japanese Short Film Festival for Big City, and featured in a web series called Hactresses. This man is busy.

In this School of Hard Knock Knocks podcast interview CJ Fortuna shares how he got started in the stand-up comedy, why he thinks alcohol can be a hindrance not help to a comedy career, as well as a quick plug for his own comedian interview series called 'Comedians in Bars Drinking Beer'. It's almost as good as this one.
