About this listen
I break down my very first 5-minute stand-up set and officially launch the podcast documenting my journey to becoming a professional comedian.
Welcome to Episode 1 of Brandon & Friends.
After 10+ years working in podcasting and digital media ... including stops at Fox Sports, Barstool Sports, NBC Sports, and DraftKings ... I’m finally documenting what matters most to me:
My journey in stand-up comedy.
In this episode, I revisit and break down my very first five-minute stand-up set from my McCurdy’s Comedy Theater graduation show in Sarasota, Florida.
We talk about:
- Why starting a podcast feels “nasty” when you work in podcasting
- The creative criticism that stuck with me for years
- Obsession and the cost of chasing comedy
- What makes a “good” five minutes
- How my material has evolved after three years
- And why I’m publicly committing to the climb
This show is the documentation of becoming a professional stand-up comedian ... the wins, the awkward sets, the lessons, the ambition.
Two solo episodes to start. Then we bring in the friends.
Leave a review. Tell me what you want to hear. Tell me what jokes to try.
I’ll see you on stage.
