Episode 130: Paul Douglas Moomjean

Paul Moomjean is a stand up comedian, actor, and writer living in Los Angeles. He has worked for Nickelodeon, Viacom, and been on Laughs on Fox. Before starting stand up, Paul was a teacher and college professor. Curently he resides in the San Fernando Valley, his hometown. Paul recorded a comedy special for VidAngel in 2017 and his album "Guys Like You and Me" was released in 2018. Paul recorded a popular Drybar special that is available on YouTube called “It’s Hard Being Fat in Los Angeles” and has since dropped a lot of the weight he talked about in that special. Paul also teaches comedy classes at Flapper’s Comedy Club in Los Angeles.

Paul & I talked about:

· Moving from teaching to comedy

· A 5 minute set vs a 20 minute set vs a 45 minute set and why some jokes fit into only certain length sets

· How teaching makes you a better comedian

· Showing vulnerability on stage
