Seriously good comedian Ashley M Fils-Aime joins the revolution.
In this podcast we chat about what the hell the revolution is, gratitude, goals and stand up comedy as a whole.
He got it in the end, but Sharam got a lot of advice along the way. Really good comedy advice for stand up comedy.
• The value of appreciating small audiences who plan their day around seeing you perform
• Why writing jokes is the fundamental currency of comedy that solves creative problems
• How achievements become a form of currency that strengthens you for future challenges
• The fear that your unique perspective won't be understood versus the power of authenticity
• Being unapologetically yourself attracts people who resonate with your distinct voice
• The danger of pursuing fame and followers instead of mastering joke writing
• Comedy as an experience rather than just a performance or path to recognition
• Finding purpose in resolving personal trauma through creative expression
