In this episode of the Funny Truth podcast, comedian Lucas Copp joins us to discuss what it was like crushing on Kill Tony in front of Shane Gillis in Austin, Texas at The Comedy Mothership!

Lucas and I started comedy around the same time in the same city of Portland, Oregon. We discuss our experiences in the comedy scene in our hometown and the different comedy scenes we've encountered while traveling.

We discuss open mics, local politics, and the challenges of being a comedian. Lucas and I share funny stories about our experiences both shared and in different cities. We also discuss various aspects of comedy, including writing jokes, the importance of practice, and the challenges of performing at open mics.

We also touch on the differences between small towns and big cities in terms of comedy scenes, the experience of traveling as a comedian, and the value of surrounding oneself with supportive and like-minded individuals. The conversation provides insights into the comedy industry and the journey of a comedian.
