Austin invades Denver! Meet STEVEN FARMER.
My name is Steven Farmer and I’m a comedian based in Austin Texas after finally escaping Arkansas. I’ve been doing this here stand up comedy for 2 years and in that time have been a finalist in Funniest Person in South Texas Contest, Semi-Finalist in the Funniest Person in Austin Contest, and performed in the Out of Bounds Comedy Festival. I also wrote, directed, and starred in a feature film called ‘Late Bloomer’ that has recently been sold to Echelon Studios. That’s enough self-hype for now, just come watch me perform.
Laugh Track: How long have you been a stand-up comic?
Steven: 2 years
What other comics will you be watching during the festival?
Ashley Barnhill definitely. She’s been really exploding in the scene and is killing it on twitter.
If you could give yourself advice when you first started out, what would it be?
Perform more. I was only doing 1 or 2 shows a month when I started
If your future self ten years from now could give you advice, what would it be?
This sounds like part of a self help seminar now. The advice I gave my former self now 2 years wasn’t really that profound so I doubt my 10 year senior self would give me anything more. Probably just tell me to keep working hard, and enjoy the ride.
Scientology inspired questions. Feel free to go into detail if you need to. Here we go…
a) Do you lie about yourself? Is that a trick question?
b) Do you connect yourself with bad influences? I procastinate, get distrated easily, spread myself too thin, and stay up late. Sorry no interesting vices.
c) Should you be punished forever? No, that’s why I moved out of Arkansas.
d) Have you ever invented perverted sexual practices? Not yet, ask me next year.
e) Is there a past life that you can’t talk about? Yeah, but I’ll tell you anyway. I used to compete in national Halo tournaments. My team almost won the losers bracket and we each got a $5 gift card to Gamestop. Sorry if that came off like bragging.
