Finding Comedy Connections with Hollis Cameron Media
Published: 6 days ago
In this episode, I sit down with Hollis Cameron, a fresh voice in San Diego&;s comedy scene who I met in my very first comedy class. Though he&;s only been doing stand-up for about five months, Hollis has already made his mark by creating Comic Tonight (comictonight.com), a comprehensive resource that connects comedians with shows throughout San Diego.
We dive into Hollis&;s comedy journey, from his first time on stage to his recent "bombing" experience, plus share plenty of laughs about Diet Coke addiction, edible mishaps, and the challenges of crowd work. Whether you&;re a comedian looking to find your people or just someone who enjoys a good laugh, this conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at the local comedy scene and what it takes to put yourself out there on stage!
