Austen Silver talks with Valerie Lopez about

• Starting comedy at 30 after 15 years of wanting to, but not knowing how
• Turning Atlanta, a pandemic, and a flooded apartment into unlikely career fuel
• A debut special that blends off-the-wall metaphors with surprisingly sharp philosophical observations
• His biggest opponent at 13 years in — not the audience, but his own negativity
