This week my guest is a comedian, a prolific comedy show producer, a father of three girls, and the first decathlete ever to appear on Starting Out, it’s my friend Patrick Russell. Patrick was a member of the Canadian Junior Olympic team before retiring at 25, putting himself through teacher’s college, starting a family, all before deciding to try his hand at standup at age 32. He set a ten year goal for himself to do at least a set a week, and he’s almost done it, pandemic aside.  Patrick puts on shows at the SoCap theatre in Toronto, if you’re comic looking to get on message him, and follow him at @real_p_russ on Instagram. We talk producing, juggling other life responsibilities, and accepting comedy as a hobby. This was another great talk. Thanks for listening and supporting the show.
