In this episode of Snazzy & Sage, Dr. Kerry sits down with stand-up comedian Johnny Mac, who has spent more than 30 years connecting with audiences through high-energy, deeply relatable comedy. Originally from Brooklyn, Johnny shares how he got his start in New York open mics, balanced comedy with a long career in the hotel industry, and eventually transitioned to performing full-time later in life.
Johnny reflects on working alongside comedy greats, developing material rooted in everyday life, and why comedy is a marathon rather than a sprint. He also offers practical advice for anyone curious about trying stand-up at any age, including the importance of open mics, improv training, and learning how to truly connect with an audience.
The conversation explores confidence, personal style on stage, aging with purpose, and why creativity, humor, and reinvention only get better over time. This episode is a reminder that it’s never too late to step into what you love and have fun doing it.
