Valuable advice for any comic

I’ve been doing comedy on-and-off since around 2009, I’ve taken multiple classes and workshops, read a number of books, and just tried to educate myself on all things standup since well before I ever started performing. Rich Williams is sharing a wealth of knowledge that comics of all levels should listen to. The guy knows what he’s talking about. Honestly, it’s pretty surprising that he’s giving this advice for free! Comics, this podcast is the treasure chest you’ve been looking for.
