In this episode, I interview the amazing and wonderful Canadian comedian Nick Nemeroff who just recently passed away at the age of 32. It's truly a big loss for his friends, family, and the world of comedy. With this episode, I want to honor Nick and his work as a Standup-Comedian and will share a moment where Nick decided to help and support strangers like me. The interview happened back then in 2019 and It was a unique and special moment for me because it was the first time that I interviewed a professional comedian for our community. Nick showed a big heart and gave our community a unique and wonderful 2-hour interview about the life of a standup comedian. His honesty about anxiety and other challenges in the life of a standup comedian made this interview special for all of us and helped us become better standup comedians. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Nick Nemeroff!

I had the honor to interview Monroe Martin III.  Monroe Martin is a rising comedy star who mines his laughs from life experiences growing up in foster care and bouncing around from one dysfunctional family to another. With a very honest, open approach to storytelling and an engaging personality, Martin effortlessly turns his childhood of hard knock experiences into comedy gold. He appeared on Last Comic Standing, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Netflix and is a regular at the comedy cellar.
