🎤 This week on the Open Mic Comedy Podcast, Marc sits down with rising comedian Charlie Firth for a candid and insightful chat about life on the stand-up circuit. From his roots in drama and acting to overcoming his initial hesitation with stand-up, Charlie shares the key moments that pushed him toward the mic—and kept him coming back.
They dig into the highs and lows of performing, from unforgettable gigs to the nights that didn’t go to plan, exploring how feedback, audience perception, and even the art of the perfectly timed pause all shape a comedian’s craft. Charlie also reflects on the sense of community within the open mic scene, his experience at the Edinburgh Fringe, and how he’s carving out his unique comedic voice.
The episode wraps up with a playful joke book challenge that brings the laughs full circle. Whether you’re a comedy fan or an aspiring stand-up yourself, this one’s packed with real talk, laughs, and lessons from the stage.
