Professional Funny Man - The Life of a Stand-up Comedian With Alex Dragicevich

It's not often you get to see a 6'8" former Division 1 basketball player up on stage doing comedy.

But that's what you get when you go to a show with Alex Dragicevich.

Alex first fell in love with the art of comedy when he joined a sketch writing group in college. That new group of friends led him the stage for a few shaky stand-up appearances in Boston. 6 years' worth of material later and Alex is a budding star in the Chicago comedy scene. He regularly performs shows at iconic venues like the Laugh Factory and Zanies, and has written sketches that have amassed hundreds of thousands of views online.

We talked about Alex's writing process of pacing around a room talking out loud to himself, the glamourous underbelly of a life in comedy, and why he started eating Gerbers banana baby food for dessert.
