This week we are joined by DJ Collins. DJ Collins is a stand-up comedian and writer who is quickly leaving his mark on the city. An ever-curious native of Texas, his aggressively hilarious comedy pokes, prods and interrogates widely held beliefs and customs, often shocking his audiences into bursts of laughter while keeping the mood loose and in the moment. Collins is already one of the best new and pure voices traveling the country and quickly becoming a favorite amongst comedy junkies in NYC! Make sure to check him out!In this episode we discuss growing up in Texas, “where are you from?” being a loaded question, going to school with no cliques, learning to love spending time alone, racism, eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch alone on Christmas, and so much more. You don’t want to miss our discussion about coming upon a “straight pride” parade and meeting a member of the KKK. Give this episode a listen!Recommendations From The Episode: Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia by Elizabeth GilbertThank You for Coming to Hattiesburg: One Comedian's Tour of Not-Quite-the-Biggest Cities in the World by Todd BarryFollow DJ Collins: @djcollins2goFollow Carly: @carlyjmontagFollow Emily: @thefunnywalshFollow the podcast: @aloneatlunchpodEmail us!
