Sam Froum started stand-up comedy at 16. Three years later, he's performing almost every night.
We talk about negative self-talk, finding your voice, obsessing over every word, and knowing when to stop trying to save a joke that isn't working.
Sam shares why "Kill Tony" isn't for him, why applause isn't always a win, how social media can distort what actually works on stage, and why he never tests jokes on friends before trying them in front of an audience.
Plus: Gary Gulman's influence, competing with other comics, and what it was like performing stand-up for the first time with his lawyer dad.
