I sat down with Matt at his home in Los Angeles to talk about the wonderful world of stand up comedy. You may have seen Matt on one of his numerous appearances on Conan. He also co hosts the incredible We Watch Wrestling Podcast. In this episode Matt and I talk about: Dogs are rad The Grateful Dead and kid names Controlling parents Unsolicited advice is criticism His concert ticket stub collection Seeing Marilyn Manson live Leaving New York for LA Packing during a hurricane Show business is like any other business Staying up late when your a kid to see TV shows Surprised by Bill Hicks death Not everyone on TV is rich Show business is swimming in the dark 911 changed the course of his career Life is too precious to not do what you love Learning from recording your performances It takes 10 years to be an overnight success Starting doing stand up in New York Discovering alternative comedy venues Aziz Ansari was the DJ at the club There is beauty in being naive Clubs scene vs. the Alt scene Entitlement isn’t helping comedy Putting on a Comedy show or just selling drinks? It is important to do comedy the way you think is funny Comedy is subjective, you aren’t supposed to be funny to everyone Learning to work in different rooms There are some audiences you don’t want to like you Reminding yourself that this is what you want to do …. and remembering to be grateful Check out Matt at thisismattmccarthy.com or follow him on social media @mccarthyredhead wewatchwrestlingpodcast.com Please take a moment to rate, share and subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts.
