Everyone thinks we make a lot more money than we actually do as Stand Up Comedians ft. Ty Ngachira
In this episode, Ty Ngachira opens up about the trials and triumphs of building a career as a comedian in Kenya. From his childhood experiences that shaped his storytelling skills to the financial struggles that came with pursuing his passion, Ty shares an honest look at the highs and lows of his journey. He reflects on the early days of performing for free to build an audience, the frustrations of unpaid gigs, and the pivotal moment when he landed a writing position on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart." Ty also discusses the challenges of maintaining financial stability, especially after relocating to a more expensive area, and how he eventually found success by charging higher prices for custom comedy writing. Despite the ups and downs, Ty's dedication to growing the comedy scene in Nairobi never wavered, and his story is a testament to the resilience and determination required to succeed in the world of comedy.
