From gigs at open mics to braving the chaos of the Edinburgh Fringe, Jonny shares the highs, the lows, and the moments that made him wonder why he ever picked up a microphone in the first place.</p><p><br></p><p>They talk about what it takes to actually connect with an audience, why “progression nights” matter for new acts trying to level up, and the pressure to keep pushing your material forward. Jonny also reveals his favourite gig stories, his most painful flops, and what he hopes the future holds for his comedy career. To wrap things up, he gives a delightfully silly reading of a joke he found in a book, perfectly capturing the fun and playful vibe of the show.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>LINKS:</strong></p><p><strong>Open Mic Comedy Pod: </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/openmiccomedypod" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.instagram.com/openmiccomedypod</a></p><p><strong>Jonny Brace: </strong></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/boybehindthebeardcomedy/">https://www.instagram.com/boybehindthebeardcomedy/</a></p><p><br></p><p>————————</p><p>Music: <a href="https://www.purple-planet.com">https://www.purple-planet.com</a></p>

083 - Comedy Thorapy with Thor Holt
<p>In this episode of The Open Mic Comedy Podcast, Marc chats with Scottish comedian <strong>Thor Holt</strong> — a man with a story as big as his name. From growing up free-spirited in Shetland to finding his footing (and sometimes falling flat) on comedy stages across Scotland, Thor talks about what he’s learned along the way.</p><p><br></p><p>They get into everything from the highs and lows of performing live to how social media can both help and hurt a comic’s growth. Thor shares how his material has evolved, why audience connection matters more than ever, and what keeps him coming back to the mic.</p><p><br></p><p>The chat drifts into wider territory too — the therapy of laughter, the rise of podcasting, why amateur comedians are often the most relatable, and even how AI might change both comedy and coding. It’s a smart, funny, and honest conversation about creativity, confidence, and the human side of making people laugh.</p><p><strong>LINKS:</strong></p><p><strong>Open Mic Comedy Pod: </strong>https://www.instagram.com/openmiccomedypod</p><p><br></p><p><strong>ThorHolt: </strong></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thor_holt" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.instagram.com/thor_holt</a></p><p>LinkedIn : <a href="http://linkedin.com/in/thorholt">http://linkedin.com/in/thorholt</a><br>TikTok :<a href="https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNdnCxnGa/">https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNdnCxnGa/</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Spotify - Thorapy Podcast </strong></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/5627gIuO5RgEdhXDuAFJkF?si=xzECDeGfQ4CAFpWXrye44A">https://open.spotify.com/show/5627gIuO5RgEdhXDuAFJkF?si=xzECDeGfQ4CAFpWXrye44A</a></p><p><br></p><p>————————</p><p>Music: <a href="https://www.purple-planet.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.purple-planet.com</a></p>
