EP88 - Milton Jones - How to make a career as a one-liner comedian.

Milton Jones ( @TheMiltonJones ) is a one-liner powerhouse with a strong work ethic and an interesting approach to how he see's his on stage self as a cartoon rather than a comedian or a character. 

We talked about - 

Is comedy still a stepping stone to “something else”?His frustrations with getting work commissioned on TV (or the lack of it).Did doing something a bit “different” / weird help him in his early career and has he benefitted from having promoters wanting “variety” How was his mental health while discovering his voice?How does he get useful feedback now that he’s well known?Why he enjoys dealing with hecklers and how he does that in character.How he deals with imposter syndrome.

AND MORE.

This podcast would be great for any comedians wanting to make a career as a comedian (one-liner or not) and how much work (and luck) it takes to happen. Alternatively it would be good for a fan of Milton's who wants to know the inner workings of his head both on and off stage.
