    David shares the first piece of wisdom from the book, "Comic Insights" by Franklin Ajaye, that the key to comedy is identifying your true thoughts and feelings.

    Welcome to Starting Standup, the podcast where I document my quest to become a professional standup in the great state of Maine.

    You can think of this podcast as an educational comedy course as well as a private audio journal of a mid life crisis.

    What’s unique about this podcast is that I have never done a single open mic and I don’t know how to write jokes. So you are getting in on the ground floor of a scary and humiliating creative process.

    It's going to be a wild ride and I’d love to have you along. So please subscribe!
