Out of all the different creative career pursuits, many have stated that being a comedian is one of hardest things you can do. This is because, with everything else, there’s an option for you to simply do it in solitude. Musicians can play on their own, painters can paint on their own, but comedians have no choice but to bear their soul in front of a live audience. The very essence of being a comedian is making others laugh, and it can be stressful responsibility—but J/R Castro doesn’t seem perturbed at all.
Indeed, this Chicago-based comedian, who has just under 1,200 followers on Instagram, is frequently posting videos of his escapades on stage, where he rants and raves about all kinds of shenanigans he goes through on a daily basis. In one particular video, he confidently laughs at himself after mispronouncing a word. Those are the kinds of moments where one needs to be good at improvising on the fly, and Castro does it pretty darn well.
If you like what you see, feel free to join his followers and become a fan as well. Better yet, if you’re in the Chicago area, check him out at a live show!
