Today I sat down with stand-up comedian, podcaster, and filmmaker Anthony Pappaly—an Austin-based comic known for his chaotic sketches, dark sense of humor, and full-send approach to content.Anthony talks about his roots in video production, early doubts in comedy, and how his early videos shape the way he creates now. We get into the stress of perfectionism, working with friends vs. professionals, and what it really takes to make consistently funny stuff online.Also: cringe early work, breaking into the Austin scene, and the fear of AI taking over the industry.If you’re a comic, creator, or just a chaos enthusiast—this one’s for you.📍 Chapters00:00 – Meet Anthony Pappaly00:27 – Sketch comedy, film school & doing it all yourself01:42 – Cringe early projects & trial-by-error filmmaking06:32 – Working with Nick & building a content team10:20 – The art of low-budget sketch comedy13:00 – Writing vs. shooting vs. releasing15:42 – How military life shaped his work ethic18:33 – Making comedy with no rules21:12 – Finding your comedic voice online24:09 – When perfectionism holds you back27:00 – Breaking into Austin’s comedy scene30:02 – Treating sketch like stand-up32:44 – Future plans and what Anthony actually wants👇 Check Out Anthony Pappaly📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UC7Xs-2eLvYMdYT0bCjLkMrA 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anthonypappaly/💥 Support the Show & Unlock Bonus ContentPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/thejimmyclifford🧢 Follow JimmyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejimmyclifford/Twitter: https://x.com/notjimcliffordTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thejimmyclifford📢 SPONSORSWant to sponsor Pastor Bullsht*?
