Johnny Taylor started performing comedy at age 33. His storytelling style that explores some of his darker and weirder moments in life keep the audience laughing and gasping at the same time. Johnny frequently tours with Brian Posehn and has two albums out on the Stand Up! Live label “Tangled Up In Plaid” & “Bummin’ With The Devil” are available for purchase or streaming wherever you get your comedy albums. Johnny writes for The Hard Times online magazine and is the host of The Hard Talk with Johnny Taylor on their podcast network.
Johnny and I talked about:
- His writing technique
- We broke down his “Grapes” bit
- If you’re not having fun your first year of stand-up, you should probably quit
- Moving to longer sets before you’re ready and how it makes you ready
