Description
Comedian and actor Dustin Ybarra sits down for a raw, funny, and surprisingly tender conversation about the craft and the chaos behind it. He opens up about the fear that still hits him before every set, the writing system that sends dead jokes to his personal "graveyard," and the years of hard drinking that ended in seizures and a breakdown on a Vegas stage — plus the recovery-meeting moment with Jay Mohr that turned it all around. Along the way: breaking into acting almost by accident, why he'd rather write material than chase crowd-work clips, the human connection that makes a sober-living crowd his favorite room to play, and how a metal detector named Diggy Smalls became his happy place.
