Travis Lindsay is a career comedian that is proud to be doing the thing he loves most. We meet at Garrison Brewing to have a conversation about what it was like being a contestant turned finalist on 2024 Canada's got Talent. Though he didn't take home the grand prize, he was left with some incredible experiences and stories that he will be able to share for years to come. We also talk a bit of what day to day was like from his previous experience as a writer on CBC's 'This Hour has 22 minutes.'
The world of standup is not for everyone, but in this episode Travis shares why it means so much to him. We get into some recently popularized trends in comedy, such as crowd work, influences such as Chappelle and Louis CK and share some of our favourite 90's and 2000's sitcoms, and even a little about WWE wrestling.
Whether you're a comedy aficionado or just interested in what a career in comedy would feel like, grab a pint and join us at the table for this fun conversation. Also follow Travis on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thetravislindsay/?hl=en and try to catch him in a future show
