Comic René Vaca Is Up+Adam
Comedian René Vaca joins Adam Montiel ahead of his upcoming show at the Performing Arts Center San Luis Obispo on Wednesday, September 25. From growing up in Van Nuys to winning StandUp NBC and performing with the likes of Bill Burr and Ken Jeong, René shares how comedy became his therapy, his hustle, and his way through it all.
In this candid conversation, the two talk about growing up just outside of LA, collecting rare Disney art, calling out Hollywood in a meeting that actually led to traction, and what it’s like to jump into stand-up the same way Adam Lockwood jumps off the Eiffel Tower. No net. Just guts.
Note: This was a virtual interview, and the last few minutes were lost due to a cloud upload glitch after René exited the call. But what we did capture is absolutely worth the listen.
