About this listen

 Have you ever been interested in putting yourself out there and trying something creative? Starting Out is an interview show that explores people's honest, raw accounts of starting something. Hosted by stand-up comedian Nick Durie, who himself started stand-up at the ripe age of 37, Starting Out features conversations mostly with stand-up comedians, with the occasional musician, writer, producer and others dropping by, and looking back on when they decided to try out something new, exciting, and scary.© 2023 Starting Out

    SO #123 Isi Commisso - F#$@ing Ceili House
    Jul 19 2023

    This week is a special episode of Starting Out for me. You may not know him for his standup, but the impact he had on me is huge. He actually started the infamous Comedy at Ceili House in Hamilton, it’s Mr. Isi Commisso. Isi is a sensitive, emotional, bloated, Italian male comic - I have no idea why he resonates with me so much…

    I know there’s been a lot of nostalgia on this podcast before, but this one takes the cake, as we talk about the horrors of hosting that little, ugly yet beautiful room for many years. There’s so much talk about the Hamilton scene - Gavin, Manolis, Mayce, Pat, Moses, Anthony, Zeus, Jordans, Devin, and so many more. Isi talks about leaving standup to work in dispensaries both before and after legalization, and how COVID really got in the way of his return back to standup. I really loved catching up with my comedy brother. Thanks for listening.

    SO #122 Ryan Maglunob - Anything Lower Than Perfect is a Fail
    Jul 12 2023

    My guest this week on Starting Out is a comic 20+ years in the game, and has the unique experience of being a booker at one of the prominent clubs in the country, the-oft talked about Absolute Comedy club here in Toronto, it’s Ryan Maglunob! Ryan talks about starting at 17-years old at a club in Kingston, where not only did his first time go great, he got to perform in front of a comedy club audience every single time he did standup for his first year. Which, if you’ve been listening, is quite a unique way of starting this crazy standup thing. You can check out Ryan’s album “Oh, You Were Good Too” anywhere you listen to comedy, and stay tuned for his forthcoming second album. Thanks for listening.
