  • 1.12 Comedy Is a Business: Working on the Road with Shane Torres

    16/08/2017 Duração: 01h34min

    After starting out in Portland, it wasn't long before Shane Torres was taken out by a more experienced comedian to be shown the ropes of working the road. Further success as a New Face at Montreal JFL Festival, moving to New York City, and eventually landing his own Comedy Central Half Hour has only helped Shane's career on the road, as he spends a major chunk of the year working outside of town at comedy clubs across the country. To Jake and Stu, Shane oozes wisdom about how to treat comedy as a profession and a business, rather than something you "just do."
