Our guest on this episode is Mike Bramante, a New York City based stand-up comedian and writer. He performs all over New York City and produces a monthly show called Tell You What, along with fellow New York City comedian Maximilian Spinelli. On this episode, Mike talks about his early influences in comedy, from Larry David to Judd Apatow, about how stand-up is about being yourself on stage, which is way easier said than done, and about how he constructs his sets by writing different punchlines and allowing himself the freedom to reach them in different ways as he performs on stage. We hope you enjoy listening to this episode!
