I'm Will Bryant podcast

1:02:50

Ever wondered what it feels like when a comedian bombs a set? Now you don’t have to, because I walk you through it in real time… literally, while walking through Central Park. In this episode, I talk about my first stand-up set in a while and how it did not go how I wanted. I also recap the back-to-back chaos of prepping for a DJ gig and a comedy set on the same week, the stress that came with it, and why I'd still do it all over again. This is part confession, part therapy walk, and part reminder that chasing creative highs isn't always a walk in the park. Follow @imWillBryant on all platforms!

This week, Will is back behind the decks — literally and metaphorically. He's recording from his DJ setup and talking about how he first got into DJing, chasing creative dreams, and what it’s like pressing play again after hitting pause for way too long. Will gets into how being a self-taught DJ has lead to imposter syndrome, what it was like going back to school in your thirties, and that weird pull some of us have toward performing — whether it’s music, comedy, acting, or just craving a little attention for our creativity in some way. This is part story, part pep talk, and part accountability. Let’s hit play. Follow @imWillBryant on all platforms!

No guest this week as your host Will Bryant has a lot to talk about after the wildest 2 weeks he's ever experienced @ The Comedy Cellar, and perhaps the most legendary 2 weeks the establishment has ever experienced in it's entire 40+ year existence! First up, we had an influx of surprise celebrity drop-ins, as stars from SNL 50 popped by the club while in town. Then, things took an even crazier turn when the Comedy Cellar closed for a few days to accommodate a Hollywood film shoot by none other than Bradley Cooper. The best part? The entire staff, including me, got the chance to appear as ourselves in the film! Tune in to hear all the wild stories from the past two weeks, including my "feature film" debut as an extra in a Bradley Cooper movie! Follow @imWillBryant on all platforms!

Edward is here to reveal the mind-blowing research behind the film, from secretive organizations to hidden agendas, all while making sure we know the difference between a “theorist” and a “researcher” (trust me, there's a big difference). Oh, and he also hosts the " Marvel of Horror" podcast. Yeah, he’s a busy guy. But today, he’s ready to spill all about how easy it is to fall down the rabbit hole of conspiracies. Tune in before we are shadow banned for exposing the truth! And be sure to stay tuned to the very end for a special presentation of the official trailer for "The Conspiracists."
