What the heck with Richard Dweck

What the heck with Richard Dweck

By richard dweck

Born December 28 1993, I am a self obsessed unintentional/ natural eccentric who is self-aware enough to self-deprecate but never change, somehow very love-able.
I sang in high school( decent tenor ), I did improv comedy from 2009 to 2016 and have been doing stand up since July 18 2015.
On this podcast I interview mostly comedians but also any creative content making person who piques my interest, on their start in their endeavor and how it is going
