Episode 77 - Sean Goes Solo

So I moved to Los Angeles in 2016.

I've talked about that pretty much, pretty detailed.

And as soon as Ian comes on Nice to be Nice, whenever that can happen, we will talk about We will dive very into how much he has helped me out.

But aside from that, so I lived in Los Angeles in 2016.

I moved away from my now wife to pursue, I didn't know what.

It was just kind of that thing where I had seemingly gone as far as I could being a comedian living in Portland, had maxed out the opportunities.

And when you're doing that, when you're in, I guess, in my position in 2016 and whatever, you're just trying to pursue it.

You go to Los Angeles.

That's where you kind of had to be at the time.

Now it's a little different with the digital age.

You can be wherever.

You know, sponsored skateboarders used to have to live in Los Angeles or San Francisco, maybe New York.

But now you can kind of do it from anywhere because you can get your footage out.

Same thing with stand-up.

But in 2016, you just had to go.

And I had a pretty good base of friends that had already left.

All the people I had started with.

Really Ian and Shane, Ian Carmel, Shane Torres, they had left and I was kind of the last, the next in line it felt like.

And so Amy Miller and I, we had a going away show at the Aladdin Theater, which a little bit about my... personal involvement with the aladdin theater and what it means to me because that's where we're doing these 10-year anniversary shows uh tomorrow probably by the time you're hearing this it would have been a couple days ago because i was late getting it to randy and by the way he is he couldn't be a better more uh kind and considerate person when it comes to my lack of preparation and in general just in life he's just such a great person so randy i know you're hearing this thank you so much for being you and i'm sorry this is late but the aladdin theater so uh when i was getting ready to move amy and i had our going away show at the aladdin theater And it was special to me at that time because the Aladdin Theater is also the very first big, you could say big show that I did in Portland.

I opened up for Doug Benson at the Aladdin in, it was probably February of 2010.

And the only reason I can timestamp it is because I did a contest in April of 2010 in Portland.

And some people were salty that I was doing an amateur comedy contest when I opened for a professional comedian.

which I don't know.

I don't know who could possibly get mad about that.

That's just how it goes.
