Can a veteran-turned-comedian find a place in the world of laughter, and does growing out one's curly locks have anything to do with it? Join me, Jason Vest, as I unravel these questions from my spare bedroom in Pflugerville, Texas. This episode is a comedic dance through my past, from the days of my wild curly hair to the chaos instilled by my eccentric mother. I share candid tales of admiration for the Curly Creole, a social media influencer with a heart of gold, and the peculiar backlash I face online, including a mysterious critic named Drew Wyoming, who might just be a ghost from my military past. It’s a rollercoaster ride through humor and raw storytelling, as I confront both the hilarity and the challenges life throws my way.
Venturing into the Austin comedy scene has been a quest for acceptance and belonging, a theme I explore alongside reflections on my military service and past addiction struggles. The journey hasn't been all laughter and applause; transitioning from a structured military life to the unpredictable world of comedy has its own set of trials. I share my mixed feelings about leaving the vibrant diversity of cities like Detroit and Chicago for Texas, and the challenges of thriving in a comedy market brimming with talent. As I search for community and a sense of home, I offer a heartfelt message to all listeners, from those hustling on OnlyFans to my fellow veterans, reminding everyone they're loved and appreciated, straight from Pflugerville, Texas.
