In episode #52 of the “Messed Up the Setups” podcast, I chat with Weird-Al-Inspired comedian, Daniel Quintero (aka Arriba Dude). We dive into the unique challenges of performing in various venues ,from the intimate settings of church events to the bustling atmosphere of comedy clubs. We discuss, among other things, how different environments shape our performances. Tune in to hear our thoughts on adapting material, engaging diverse audiences, and the art of storytelling across different stages. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or just curious about the comedy scene, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at the life of a traveling stand-up comedian.
