079 - Beats to Belly Laughs with Sonny Savage
This week on the Open Mic Comedy Podcast, Marc sits down with comedian Sonny Savage — a man who swapped beats for punchlines and never looked back. Sonny takes us through his journey from wannabe rapper to stand-up comic, sharing the good, the bad, and the gloriously awkward moments of life on the open mic circuit.
They get into the real stuff: the nerves, the bombs, the high of making a room laugh, and why family support makes all the difference. Sonny opens up about finding his voice on stage, the bizarre world of social media fame, and how every comedian is just one bad gig away from questioning every life choice they’ve ever made.
Expect laughs, honesty, and a few sharp jabs at the weirdness of the comedy scene — from the unspoken rules about joke theft to the power of a killer walk-on track. They also talk about favourite jokes, future ambitions, and why the comedy community is one of the strangest but most rewarding places to be.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like trying to make people laugh for a living — this one’s for you.
