From there, he could be found at open mics every few weeks, adjusting to the spotlight and fine tuning his jokes. Andrew reviewed the video afterward and thought his jokes could be funnier if not for his nerves. His roommates attended and recorded his performance. He was far down the line up, maybe 17th, and said he must have blacked out, because he can barely remember the experience. He took the stage for the first time in the summer of 2016 at Laughing Skull, a comedy club in Midtown Atlanta. He gave him two options: either make a funny video and put it on YouTube or write five minutes’ worth of jokes and perform them at a stand-up comedy open mic. Andrew followed the advice and Foxworthy connected him to comedy writer Scott Dunn.ĭunn said he’d help Andrew but wanted him to take an action step first. He was surprised because I’d never shown any interest in public speaking, but he thought it was good that I was getting out of my comfort zone.”Īndrew’s dad suggested he meet with family friend and famous comedian Jeff Foxworthy.
