1. What inspired you to start doing stand-up comedy, and how did your journey begin?
Mike Bramante: “My comedic idol is Larry David. I’ve always related to the absurdity and humor that can be found in everyday situations. Also, I never really had the desire to pursue a “normal” path. My mom used to drive me to school in 6th-8th grade, and she would ask me about my interest in all sorts of professions. She would attest to this, saying that I never had any interest in any of them. So I can say at an early age that I never really wanted to do anything.
