Hey everybody! In this part, two of two, my friend, Will Abeles, a
comedian, producer, and podcaster, discusses the challenges of starting
comedy as an adult and the differences between stand-up comedy and
improv. Will also talks about using comedy as therapy and the importance
of taking care of mental health. Will is an awesome guy, so give him a
listen.
