Back to the Chalkboard, Agostino Zoida returns with a lesson for Standup Comedians and artists everywhere. After an 11 day run on tour, in Memphis, TN & Las Vegas, NV I am finaly back to share my performing experiences and what I learned which made me a better performer for it. Talking about the vibe of a cool city like Memphis and how cool it was to perform there again and talking about performers that are in their head rather than in the moment and how that effects you as an artist. From recognizing when you're in your head, to what to do about it and how to over come it. Also some quick lessons for new comedians; should you watch the comedian before you? and how to open for other comics.Tickets & Tour Dates: https://www.agostinocomedian.com/tourNext shows...Away:Phoenix, AZ (June 22-25)Vancouver, BC (July 13-16)Minneapolis, MN (July 20-23Home:Sherman Oaks, CA (June 10th)WeHo, CA (June 12th)Long Beach, CA (June 29th)
