Colton Dowling on Comedy, Sobriety, and Reinventing Himself | David’s Saturday Night Sit Back
Welcome back to David’s Saturday Night Sit Back! This week, comedian, actor, and podcast host Colton Dowling joins the show to share his wild and inspiring story — from growing up as an army brat to modeling in Paris, from data analytics to stand-up stages across the U.S.
You’ve seen him at SXSW, Skankfest, Moontower JFL, and more. He’s performed everywhere from LA to NY to Austin, where he now co-runs the comedy venue Creek & the Cave and co-hosts the podcast Some of This Is Bad.
We talk about:
- Coming out as gay
- His path to sobriety through Alcoholics Anonymous
- Writing gay country music
- Performing stand-up and building a comedy career in Austin
