"Rare, Real, and Raw: Quisto Gets Unfiltered on Comedy, Identity, and Life After Fear" - Episode 20

In this episode, we’re joined by Quisto—aka “Q”—an up-and-coming gay comedian and real estate entrepreneur from Upland, California, with a personality that’s as rare as they come. Quisto shares his journey through grief, stage fright, and identity struggles to becoming an authentic voice in comedy while building a business in the house rental market.

After the passing of his father in 2013, Quisto’s comedy took on a new dimension, deepening his confidence and clarity of purpose. We dive into his evolution as a performer, the challenges of being openly gay in the comedy scene, and why being funny doesn’t mean you’re never hurting. From clearing up the myth that comics are always “on,” to unpacking the emotional toll of constantly performing, Q opens up about the balance between authenticity and entertainment.

We also explore Quisto’s passion for meditation, lowriders, and life lessons learned on Southwest Airlines (yes—he was banned for a decade). Plus, he drops wisdom on self-worth, taking chances, and why life’s not just about money—it’s about experience.

You’ll laugh, reflect, and maybe even reconsider what it really means to “just be yourself.”
