Tom sits down with comedian Ric Diez. Ric, originally from Spain but now living in Brussels, recently performed at the Netflix is a Joke festival at the Kia Forum in LA, a venue that has hosted legends like Elvis Presley and Led Zeppelin. Despite initial nerves, Ric managed to win over a tough crowd that had been booing many performers, although he didn't clinch the win against fellow comedian Hans Kim.

Ric shares his journey into comedy, which started relatively late at 42 while living in Asia. He talks about his experience performing in different countries, noting how different cultures react to his material, especially his dark humor. Ric discusses his background in Brussels and his connections to Los Angeles, where his father worked as a prop master in the film industry.

The conversation delves into the challenges of making a living as a comedian, the importance of writing strong material, and the struggle to maintain creative joy amidst personal and professional obstacles. The episode concludes with a discussion on the contrasts between living in different parts of the world and the universal human experiences that bind us all.

Hooray for humanity!

We're dropping new episodes every Thursday-ish.
