People pay millions and millions and millions of dollars for that, you know, and I pay a dollar when the basket gets handed to me in the church basement.
Ever thought about how comedy and sobriety can mix? Nelson H. has, and he's got quite the story to tell. After a long hiatus since March 2020, Nelson stepped back onto the comedy stage, and it was nothing short of a rollercoaster. Imagine the nerves, the anticipation, and the sheer excitement of performing live again—now add the layer of doing it all sober. In this episode of 'LOL Sober', Nelson takes us through his journey of returning to stand-up comedy.
He opens up about the unique pressures of performing in front of a live audience without the crutch of alcohol or drugs. It's a raw, honest look at what it's like to face your fears head-on while staying true to your sober self. Nelson also delves into the incredible support he's received from his sober friends, both in life and in his comedy career.
These friendships have been a lifeline, helping him navigate the ups and downs of sobriety and performance. But what really stands out is Nelson's take on sober crowds. According to him, they're the best audience a comedian could ask for—engaged, supportive, and genuinely there for the laughs. This episode isn't just for those in recovery; it's for anyone who's ever faced a daunting challenge and wondered if they could overcome it.
Nelson's story is a testament to resilience, friendship, and the power of laughter. So, if you're looking for a mix of humor and heartfelt moments, tune in and let Nelson's journey inspire you.
