How an aspiring sergeant major became a stand-up comedian
Manage episode 185974739 series 1407101
In this episode of the Mandatory Fun podcast, Blake, Tim, and O.V. speak with Mitch Burrow, a funny burly-guy who went from being a Marine to becoming a stand-up comedian.
When we join the military all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, we have sort of an idea of what we want to do with our lives — but we change our minds dozens of times before landing a career that we hopefully love.
Mitch is a Marine Corps Veteran that served in Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. He then started a career in manufacturing before realizing that it sucked. Now, Mitch has found his true calling in acting silly on a stage in front of strangers on a nightly basis.
So why did Mitch decide to jump on stage and be a comedian after getting out of the Marines?
"I love stand up comedy, so I was like you know what? If this is working at a party or a social group, let me try it on stage," Mitch humorously recalls. "So I drove down to San Diego to the comedy store in La Jolla and had three shots of tequila, and I drank a couple of Budweisers then I got on stage. I've been told it went pretty good."
