Summary
Hello, Friends! In episode 103 of The Messed-Up To Set-Ups podcast! I’m super stoked to welcome the hilarious Tyrone Burston, a two-time Queen City Comedian of the Year from Charlotte, NC. In this episode, we get into his journey from Hartford to Charlotte, his start in comedy, and the ups and downs of performing, including a memorable night at Showtime at the Apollo. Tyrone shares his insights on crafting a five-minute set, the necessity of comedic voice, and the importance of staying true to oneself. There are some real gems here so join us for great laughs, stories, and all-around solid advice. Tune in! JOKE WRITING COURSE : By the way, if you have any interest at all in learning about your persona, how to write some jokes, or doing stand-up comedy, check out my online joke writing course, “The Joke Writer’s Lab,” HERE . JOKE MEMORY COURSE: My companion course to “The Joke Writer’s Lab” is now live: “The Comedian’s Memory Lab.” Learn how to conceptualize, organize, and memorize your entire comedy set. This method works for 10 jokes or 100, a set that’s 3 minutes of 1 hour. You can get it HERE . MichaelHalcomb.Live is a reader-supported publication.
