We met up with Natalie Cuomo after her show at the New York Comedy Club in Midtown and asked her some questions about stand-up comedy, being a comedian, and here are her answers. What other jobs did you do before starting stand-up comedy? Before doing stand-up, I was a classically trained actor. I studied under the great Wynn Handman, and I completed the conservatory program at Stella Adler Studios in NYC. While doing comedy, I managed a coffee shop in Williamsburg called Variety. I would wake up, do my shift from 6:30 am-2:30 pm, take a nap, and go out and do shows around 7 pm. It was quite a time.How did you know you wanted to be a comedian?
I’ve loved performing since I was a little kid. I think the moment that energy funneled into comedy was when I began writing my own jokes while I was in the acting conservatory.
If you weren’t doing comedy, what would you be doing?
If I wasn’t doing comedy, I would live in the middle of nowhere on a mountainside, with sheep and goats, and a vegetable farm.
