ONLY BOMBS! 26: Solomon

In this crazy episode that took several days of filming due to me having several jobs and my camera being messed up for some reason…. Solomon was super patient with me and the equipment issues that arose. Solomon has been in the Austin comedy scene for 3 years, with 3 appearances on KillTony. He hails from Pakistan and made his way to Austin by way of New York. This feller is a well-traveled, well-spoken individual with a wealth of knowledge from the theater. Solomon also has his project “Comedy Cowboys” (link below), where he interviews comedians around the Austin area. Go check it out! It was wonderful having Solomon over for the show! Thank you again, man, for not giving up on me during that camera crap. Now I need to go fix my damn camera again!. Enjoy the show!
