Starting From Scratch with Colombian Comedy Legend Antonio Sanint


Listen Later

Antonio Sanint is a Colombian comedy legend known for his sketch comedy show Riase El Show on Netflix, his stand up special Quien Pidio El Pollo? and his countless acting roles. Last year Antonio decided to leave Bogota and move to New York City. Can you imagine leaving behind a huge career back home to start from scratch in another country and another language? Antonio's story is moving, hilarious and so inspiring. He tells me about the first time he moved to the US at age 20, working in souvenir shops, spending lonely Christmases in LA and then going back to Colombia. We talk about how life has your back, taking risks and his panic attacks when he first arrived in New York City. Oh, and he teaches me what Uchuas are!
