Moontower comic thrives on the pressure
Brian Simpson's journey to the top of the stand-up scene is a long one that has skyrocketed in recent years. After first getting onstage in his hometown of San Diego in 2011, the military veteran made the move north to Los Angeles in 2015. He soon found himself living in a shelter but persevered until he found a stage home at the Comedy Store and his own home to boot.to talk about his big breaks as well as his upcoming visit to Austin for the Moontower Comedy Festival.
Literally, because thank God for David Spade because 1) they let me say whatever I wanted to say. And 2) they put the sets out on YouTube the night it aired. So it aired at like 10pm or something, and then by midnight the set was on YouTube. The next morning, I have maybe 15 people hit up my manager wanting to have meetings.– Brian SimpsonHell yeah. The David Spade thing was pivotal. It was crucial. It was probably maybe the most important thing because it made everyone aware of me.
It was actually really special to me too, because I hadn't been home the whole time I've been doing comedy. I haven't seen my family. They've never seen me perform live. And my mom, my mama, and my sister were at the taping in New York. It was such an emotional moment for me. And I put a lot into it. It was something I was proud of, and I did what I wanted to do.Well, no, I've actually been to Austin a few times already because Joe Rogan comes from there.
