This episode of Hot Breath! dives deep into the DIY spirit of comedy with punk-rock veteran turned stand-up, Joe Sib. From fronting bands and opening for Metallica to touring with Jim Breuer, Joe breaks down how a lifelong performer reinvents himself in the most brutally honest art form of stand-up.He and Joel riff on everything from bombing in front of Metallica fans to finding authenticity on stage, why comics can’t “fake the funny,” and how comedy’s new punk rock era (YouTube, self-releasing specials, podcasting) gives comics more freedom than ever.If you’re a comedian trying to balance the grind, stay authentic, and not lose your mind in the process then Joe’s stories and lessons are pure rocket fuel.Connect with Joe here: <a href="https://www.joesib.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.joesib.com/</a>Join our Patreon: <a href="https://patreon.com/hotbreathpod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://patreon.com/hotbreathpod</a><a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/HotBreathPod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">﻿</a>Top 10 Takeaways from Joe Sib:<ul><li>Host often — it’s the fastest way to get multiple reps and real crowd interaction in one night.</li><li>Listen to your audience — the laughter (or silence) tells you exactly what to fix.</li><li>Film every set — you can’t improve what you don’t watch.</li><li>Write from truth — audiences can spot fake stories instantly.</li><li>DIY your career — start your own show, mic, or podcast instead of waiting for permission.</li><li>Keep a “bomb journal” — track what failed, why, and how you’ll adjust.</li><li>Surround yourself with better comics — iron sharpens iron.</li><li>Find joy in the grind — comedy rewards the ones who keep showing up.</li></ul> Join our Facebook group: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/HotBreathComedyNetwork/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/HotBreathComedyNetwork/</a><ul><li>Subscribe to our YouTube channel here: <a href="https://youtube.com/hotbreathpod?sub_confirmation=1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtube.com/hotbreathpod?sub_confirmation=1</a></li><li>Check out our classes and workshops here: <a href="https://hotbreathmedia.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://hotbreathmedia.com</a></li></ul>
