Houston’s comedy scene is having a moment — and comedian Chinedu Ogu is right in the middle of it.

In this episode, we sit down with the up-and-coming Houston comic to talk about what it really takes to build a comedy career from the ground up. Chinedu opens up about finding his voice on stage, surviving bad sets, reading Houston crowds, and the grind that happens long before the spotlight hits.

It’s honest, funny, and a behind-the-scenes look at a ride or die HOUSTON comedian.
