Paco Romane is a comedian, actor and voiceover actor living and working in San Francisco, CA. After being fired from countless jobs, a chance meeting with his comedy idol Robin Williams inspired Paco to dump the 9-5 and pursue comedy and acting full time. Paco talks the economic struggles of American artists and entertainers, why being the "funny man" feels so uncomfortable, and the trauma and vulnerability that most great comedians have in common.
