Tatyana Guchi on Failing Speech Class, Finding Stand-Up & Life as a Comedian | New Dope

Before stand-up comedy, Tatyana Guchi failed speech class twice. Then she found improv, stepped onto an open mic stage in New York, told a terrible joke, and somehow knew she’d found what she wanted to do for the rest of her life. On this episode of New Dope, Deezy & Dom sit down with Tatyana to talk about finding her way into comedy, developing confidence on stage, bombing sets, and the preparation that goes into performing. Tatyana also gets into money vs. happiness, love vs. loyalty, why she needs space before hitting the stage, the comedians doing way too much in the green room, and the night getting crossfaded taught her a lesson she never forgot. From failing speech class to finding her voice on stage, the conversation gets into the funny, uncomfortable, and unexpected parts of building a life in comedy. 🎙️ NEW DOPE Hosted by Deezy & Dom Subscribe for more conversations with the people shaping what’s next in music, culture, business, comedy, and creativity.
