Jay Moreno on Aliens vs. Ghosts, From Sleeping in the Car to Headlining a Nationwide Tour
Jay Moreno—actor and stand-up comedian—joins Fly as Flux for a raw, uncut conversation about the real stand-up journey: what it takes to get better, get booked, and eventually get paid.
We talk about the grind behind the laughs: doing multiple shows in a weekend, sleeping in the car to save money, showering at the gym, taking low-paying sets just to meet producers, and the networking it takes to get your foot in the door at clubs.
Jay also drops real advice for new comics:
Stop chasing followers and focus on being the funniest person in the room
Find your funny first so you're stage-ready when opportunities hit
Polish jokes that work and build a set you can consistently kill with
Know when you're actually ready to ask for money
Plus: Texas comedy (Houston/Austin/San Antonio), Kill Tony in Austin, and the aliens vs. ghosts debate—including that viral Peru "alien body" clip.
