Say hello to Lund. Nathan Lund.
Laugh Track: How long have you been a stand-up comic?
Nathan: 8 years now. 4 years when I started out in Las Vegas and 4 living in Denver. So about 2 years now of being an actual comic who isn’t the worst.
What other comics will you be watching during the festival?
There are a ton of great Denver comics – Abbey Jordan, Brett Hiker, Christie Buchele, Nate Balding, Jordan Doll, Andrew Cayton-Holland and Ben Roy from the Grawlix, and my cohorts in the Fine Gentleman’s Club, Chris Charpentier, Bobby Crane, and Sam Tallent. There are also really talented comics coming in from elsewhere, like Jay Washington, Andy Sell, Erik Anker, and Mo Welch. Lots of people to check out all weekend, that’s for certain!
If you could give yourself advice when you first started out, what would it be?
Be patient, listen more, don’t try to be the loudest or meanest or edgiest. Try to be funny, dummy, everything else works itself out the more you go up so just go up more and more and get better!
If your future self ten years from now could give you advice, what would it be?
Don’t buy that jetpack, it has engineering flaws that will paralyze you from the hair down!
Scientology inspired questions. Feel free to go into detail if you need to. Here we go…
a) Do you lie about yourself? I lie about myself, but never to myself.
b) Do you connect yourself with bad influences? Yes. Sam Tallent. Arrest him before it’s too late!
c) Should you be punished forever? Well, not forever. But for a while, to be sure. Those evil evil lust sessions aren’t going to flog themselves!
d) Have you ever invented perverted sexual practices? In sex, like in comedy, everything has already been done already. You can only do them again but in a different accent or something.
e) Is there a past life that you can’t talk about? I can’t recall any past lives, but I was probably a dinosaur or some shit way back when. Maybe a big rock? Who knows. I just hope I’ve never been a Scientologist. Yikes!
