Hello, Friend! In this episode of Messed-Up to Set-Ups, I sit down with the one and only Demoine Kinney for a hilarious, honest, and surprisingly inspiring conversation about comedy, creativity, and the wild road that led him from a small town in South Carolina to Atlanta stages, saxophone in hand. We talk about navigating many of comedy’s hidden battles (pressure, self-doubt, etc.) and discuss the mentors who shaped Demoine, the discipline behind writing every day, and the power of staying true to your voice when everybody wants to box you in. For anybody chasing growth in comedy or in life, my advice is: Tune in!
