On this show I interview one of the newer comics working the road...Steven Mays is technically still an amateur; but he has done stage time from his Hometown of Houston Texas to New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, and more! A rising, fairly clean, comic who makes time to travel and work stages all over the country. What is unusual is, Steven has kept his "Day Job" and yet gets on stage every time and everywhere he can; and in doing so, finds he has the ability to entertain audiences of all types and at all locations. That is a talent!Steven Mays, born and raised in Houston, Texas, has been captivating audiences with his stand-up comedy for about seven years, all while maintaining a full-time job as a technician. Despite not yet making comedy his career, Steven is motivated and determined to secure more road gigs across the country and build his network to eventually create his own tour. He acknowledges that one of the hardest challenges in his comedy journey has been overcoming his initial timidness on stage, yet he is continuously working on being more fearless and authentic in his performances. Driven by the joy of making audiences smile, Steven sees comedy as a way to spread laughter and entertainment, fueling his passion and motivation in the industry.(00:00:55) "Everyday Situations: A Comedic Perspective"(00:06:25) Respectful and Entertaining Clean Comedy Sets(00:09:19) Spontaneous Performance Mastery in Comedy(00:13:51) Universal Humor Through Observational Comedy(00:21:23) Juggling Comedy Gigs While Working Full-Time(00:25:12) Grocery Store-inspired Comedy Writing Process(00:31:31) Crafting a Comedy Tour for VisibilitySupport the Show.Standup Comedy Podcast Network.co www.StandupComedyPodcastNetwork.comFree APP on all Apple & Android phones....check it out, podcast, jokes, blogs, and More!For short-form standup comedy sets, listen to: "Comedy Appeteasers" , available on all platforms.New YouTube site: https://www.youtube.com/@standupcomedyyourhostandmc/videosVideos of comics live on stage from back in the day.Please Write a Review: in-depth walk-through for leaving a review.Interested in Standup Comedy?
