#700 – From Construction to Comedy: Brian Couto's Journey of Redemption and Laughter

In this raw and inspiring special 700th episode of The Construction Life, we sit down with the one and only Brian Couto, a man whose story is as captivating as his punchlines. Brian takes us on a journey through his humble yet challenging Portuguese upbringing, his years working in construction, and his bold leap into the world of stand-up comedy.
But the conversation goes deeper than laughs as Brian opens up about his battles with addiction, his time in rehab, and the personal demons he’s fought along the way. Through it all, he shares how he’s managed to persevere, always feeling like someone was watching over him, keeping him here for a greater purpose.
Now thriving as a comedian, Brian has a packed schedule this year, including producing The BS Show starting in March 16 at Back Room Comedy Club and the Women in Comedy Tour across Southern Ontario. Don’t miss this episode filled with grit, redemption, and unfiltered honesty.
Follow Brian's journey on his YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@couto_brian and Instagram @couto_brian for a mix of humor, heart, and hard-earned wisdom. Tune in for a story that reminds us of the resilience of the human spirit and the power of laughter!
