Renoites- The Podcast about Reno Nevada
Society & Culture
Renoites is back for the new year with more great guests and episodes every Tuesday!
This week on the podcast, Conor welcomes local stand up comedian David Gamble Jr. to talk about the world of stand up comedy both nationally and here in the Biggest Little City. David has been performing stand-up in the Reno area for 7 years, including creating and hosting a regular showcase of local and regional comedians at Ferino Distillery in Downtown Reno.
On this episode, Conor and David discuss the world of stand-up comedy, the process of translating jokes from conversation with friends into material for the stage, the power of comedy to help us talk about serious issues like race and racism, the changing dynamics of who is allowed to joke about what, what makes stand-up such an enduring form of comedy generation after generation, and so much more. We also talk about David's viral essay from 2020, "Growing up Black in Reno"
