I think India has run its course for the time being. If there was like a vibrant, happening comedy scene here, I would be interested in staying for Another Year.
Ever wondered how a comedian copes when his gigs get cancelled? David Boyle's got you covered. In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', Boyle opens up about the rollercoaster of emotions that come with cancelled comedy shows and the uncertainty of his career in India. Picture this: Boyle, ready to make people laugh, only to find out his show is scrapped.
But instead of wallowing, he takes it as a moment to reassess his priorities and make some surprising personal sacrifices for his sobriety journey. One of those sacrifices? Shaving his head for a religious ceremony with his family. Boyle's nervous about the new look but curious to see what a skinhead version of himself will be like.
He dives into the cultural quirks of head shaving and jokes about the value of his hair, turning a serious moment into a light-hearted one. Living in India has thrown some unique challenges Boyle's way, especially in the comedy scene. He shares his frustrations with the lack of vibrant venues and opportunities, yet acknowledges that this chapter in India might be closing.
Through all the ups and downs, Boyle remains candid and humorous, offering listeners a peek into the transformative power of sobriety. If you're in for a mix of laughs and life lessons, this episode is a must-listen.
