Austin Train's Comedy Journey: Laughter, Sobriety, and Staying True

Well, I think when I, when I first started out, when I would try to conceal what I was feeling, then it would be more awkward because I wasn't being authentic to what I was feeling.
Ever wondered what it's like behind the scenes at one of the most iconic comedy venues? In this episode of 'The Jewcy's Wake and Cake', Lauren Jamison, aka Kosher Barbie, sits down with San Diego-born comedian Austin Train. Austin shares his journey from running the door at The Comedy Store in LA to performing on stage alongside big names like Jeff Garlin and Pauly Shore.
He opens up about the highs and lows of working in comedy, especially during a pandemic that has turned the entertainment world upside down. Austin's stories are as hilarious as they are heartfelt, giving you a glimpse into the hustle and grind of a comedian's life. But it's not all laughs; Austin also talks about his struggles with mental health and sobriety, and how these challenges have shaped his authentic voice in comedy.
The episode dives into the unique pressures of dating within the comedy scene and the importance of staying true to oneself both on and off stage. Whether you're a comedy fan or someone navigating their own journey to authenticity, this conversation is packed with insights and humor that will leave you both entertained and inspired.
