Identity Crisis with Jake Brooks
Manage episode 438655700 series 3575027
In this episode of 'Identity Crisis' comedian JNewtz chats with comedian Jake Brooks, who loves comedians such as Peter Key, Roy Chubby Brown and Lee Evans and wants to follow in their footsteps with his own take on the world.
Join JNewtz in this truly inspirational episode with Jake Brooks as they talk about what it's like getting into the comedy scene and how to stand out rather than blend in with all the others. Jake feels that free speech is dying and it's up to comedians to keep it alive and free.
We cover:
- Being self critical
- Procrastination and Imposter Syndrome
- When a gig goes bad
- How to handle a 'come down'
- The pressure to stand out
- We must Cancel Cancel Culture!
- Getting a break is hard
- Trans and LGBTQ issues in comedy
- Advice to budding comedians
- Life a life of No Regrets!
Remember - we are not alone. We all have demons, self esteem issues and can suffer from imposter syndrome. It's okay to not be okay, so reach out and talk to someone, but most of all never give up on your goals and dreams, or you may very well regret it.
