  • S2E2 An Interview with Jesse Warren on Improv, Stand-up, and Comedy Advice

    Improv coach Jesse Warren didn't grow up funny. But everything changed when Jesse tried stand-up. He performed at open mics for 200 days in a row. And he got REALLY good at it.

    So good that eventually Jesse quit his engineering job at SpaceX and pursued a career in comedy. Now, he performs around the country. He teaches improv for Ultraspeaking. And his videos on the CUT regularly get 1M+ views.

    In this episode, I interview Jesse to learn about his advice for becoming funnier.
