Talking With Nick Di Paolo – September 23, 2019
This week, Ira spoke with Nick Di Paolo, headlining in The Comedy Works at The Plaza September 27 and 28. In this 30-minute episode of Talk About Las Vegas, Di Paolo talks about his role as a comic, which is to point out the truth; whether the pendulum is swinging back to free speech and away from political correctness; his first time performing in Las Vegas; why he doesn’t watch other comics; why he considers Colin Quinn the closest thing to a mentor; and why he never has optimism in his life, but still makes people laugh.
