04. Russ Meneve

In Episode 04 of Comedy Anatomy, Mike and Masavia talk with comedian Russ Meneve. Russ is known for his work as a writer for Comedy Central Presents, and as a performer on The Tonight Show, Conan, Last Comic Standing, Comedy Underground with Dave Attell, and more.

• How Russ went from being an accounting major and landing a job at a big firm, to selling everything and moving to the city to pursue stand-up comedy.

• The bumps in the road as a newbie; the years of open mics and terrible stage time that ultimately leads to an act.

• Trying to nail down that “it” factor that allows comics to take off… or not.

• Having a Plan B - something to fall back on if all else fails.

• Healthy competition with yourself, rather than others.

• The art of riffing, crowd work…

• And more!
