#87 - Louis & Martin talk about the comedy business

Comedy Guy with Louis Zezeran

It has been a while but the sun is out and it's time for the next season of Comedy Guy.

With this episode I am starting a new series along with Martin Junna of Impro troupe Ruutu10. I have all these topics I want to discuss about running a comedy group and how to help develop artists. In past seasons I have spoken to other people in the entertainment industry about how their art form works. With Martin and his experiences running Ruutu10, we have many similar experiences. They also have a group of comedians whom they are trying to develop artistically along with trying to make a business out of this whole thing. That's the dream: to be able to do your thing and make a living out of it as well.

Martin and I will do a series of episodes talking about developing comedy and comedians. There are a whole bunch of things which are similar between Comedy Estonia and Ruutu10 as well as things we do differently, either because Stand Up and Impro are different or just because we chose different ways. When you are trying to make a career from your art, there is no set road. No HR manager to ask how can you proceed to the next level. In these episodes we are going to talk about our experiences running these groups with hopefully entertaining stories from behind the scenes as well as good advice if you are trying to hustle as well.

In this first episode, Martin and I take some time to settle in and set the scene. Louis wants to know what Ruuto10 does and how they organize themselves.
