August 07, 2019 in Comedy

by Will Thomas

How long have you been doing comedy?

Less than a year but this Dreyfest will mark my one year anniversary. 

Where would be your dream performance locale be?

The Comedy Cellar in Manhattan. 

What do you feel makes a comedian?

Pain and tragedy. Also, good observational skills. 

How do you think your growth as a comedian aided in other aspects of your life?

Stand-up has aided my life by helping me through embracing moments in life. 

What gem would you provide those who may have not tried stand up comedy yet?

The gem: would be to not be nervous. 

Who is your largest non-comedian inspiration?

Robert Anton Wilson 

What do you consider to be the worst superpower?

Microscopic vision that you couldn’t control.

On a scale from 1 - 10, how do you feel about the evolution of slang in today's culture?

About a five. 

Where was the last place you traveled?

Vegas. 

Is this your first Dreyfest performance?

This is not my first time performing at Dreyfest. 

What's a song that can help you get through anything, .....no matter what?

“Unstoppable” by Sia. 

If you could be your favorite animal, but had to lose a foot, would you still choose to be that animal? Why or why not?

A cheetah, three feet would be challenge but not impossible. 

What’s a question you'd like me to answer as an interviewer?

Nicholas: What caused you to start doing stand-up?

Will: Ehh, back then I had a lot of emotion that I needed to vent, and I was pretty much alone at that time-so I told myself I need to try something completely different to get my mind off of how crappy life was.

 

What do you know about Dreyfest?

I know some of the people that started Dreyfest, that is about it. 

What's the worst flavor you've experienced? How did you come about to tasting it?

The flavor I came across was cold beef fat, not sure how I discovered it.
