S1E1: How I Live Full Time Off Comedy with Richard Sarvate

The New School Podcast with Christine Hong

When I first met Richard, we were both software engineers together at Yahoo in the Bay Area. Now just five years later, he is living full time off comedy in Los Angeles already making six figures a year. In this episode, Richard talks about how he pulled off this transformation and how he makes a living off performing standup comedy, running two standup clubs, The Setup (http://setupcomedy.com/) and The Bunker (https://thebunkerlosangeles.com/), and producing the biggest comedy festival in Los Angeles, the Southland Comedy Festival (https://www.southlandcomedyfestival.com/).
