- 2:30Speaker 1: Nathan Halson, it's synonymous with comedy. You've been doing this
- 2:33Speaker 1: for a whole long time. What got you interested in
- 2:35Speaker 1: doing comedy in the first place? I don't know if
- 2:37Speaker 1: I've ever asked you that.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Before I grew up loving stand comedy we got when
- 2:44Speaker 2: Comedy Central came out, it was like a whole world
- 2:49Speaker 2: opened up, right. I've always loved telling jokes, making people
- 2:53Speaker 2: laugh and stuff like that. I was kind of a
- 2:54Speaker 2: goofy kid. My dad specifically was always kind of a jokester,
- 3:00Speaker 2: you know, he was always always laughing, and so I
- 3:04Speaker 2: don't know, it just it's just always kind of been
- 3:06Speaker 2: a thing like I did whose line is It Anyway?
- 3:09Speaker 2: For a long time improv style whose line is it anyway?
- 3:14Speaker 2: Kind of thing. And in college that's I studied that
- 3:18Speaker 2: for a while and then I was like, oh I
- 3:21Speaker 2: could I could do stand up too, and so I
- 3:24Speaker 2: studied that. I took an independent study in college and
- 3:28Speaker 2: that's that's where when I started.
- 3:31Speaker 1: And again in the suit Falls area. You've been doing
- 3:33Speaker 1: this for a long long time, and many people who
