David Boyle's Creative Hustle: From Faking Resumes to Forgiving Flops
“I'm going to fake a sick resume and then I'm just going to fucking go for one of these jobs and just lie just for fucking material and podcast and everything.”
Ever wondered how a comedian finds fresh material when the motivation well runs dry? In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', David Boyle gets candid about his current slump in stand-up comedy and his out-of-the-box strategies to shake things up. Boyle doesn't just sit around waiting for inspiration to strike; he's willing to fake a sick resume just to land a short-term job and gather new experiences for his act.
This isn't your typical comedy grind, but Boyle's approach is anything but ordinary. Boyle also opens up about the often thankless task of performing for non-paying crowds. It's a tough gig, but it's all part of the journey. And let's not forget the importance of self-forgiveness in this high-pressure world of comedy. Boyle's reflections on forgiving himself for less-than-stellar performances offer a relatable and heartfelt look at the human side of being funny.
Whether you're a comedy fan, someone on a sobriety journey, or just in need of a good laugh and some honest talk, this episode has something for you. Tune in to hear Boyle's unique blend of humor, hustle, and heartfelt honesty.
