Description

Hey, Friends! Episode #74 of The Messed-Up to Set-Ups Podcast is here! In this episode I chat with fellow comedian Travis “T Link” Lincoln, who shares about his journey into comedy and his influential work with homeless veterans. Based in Columbia, South Carolina, his comedic side shines as he talks about his initial hesitation to perform stand-up and his eventual dive into the comedy scene through improv and open mics. During our conversation, T Link emphasizes the importance of persistence in comedy, and gives his #1 piece of advice for young and seasoned comedians alike. We also get into the competitive nature of comedy and the balance between personal ambition and community support within the industry. All that and this is only Part 1!!! Tune in!
