He made me feel so comfortable He makes my wife feel so comfortable. He makes sure that I'm straight He don't let me slack. You know I'm saying like it's it's nothing but love there I would I would not you know take a show or do a show with anybody else who's not even rocking with Eddie Like that's how I feel. I don't care what you know who it is or whether you know where I'm trying to go When I tell you that man take care of me and he makes sure that I'm straight and he has Taking my career to the next level. I don't care who it is if you don't rock with Eddie You don't rock with hook. How long you been working with him I've been with Eddie for about a year now and how did you meet him? I met him we I Hit up his manager. I well actually I did a show in my city His opener that I that I guess he had at the time couldn't come I hit up his manager. His manager is like, okay, cool, you know, we'll throw you on the show or whatever This is in March. I did the show. Everything went real good Couple months went by I hit up his manager randomly out the blue. I was like, hey You know if you guys ever need anybody, you know saying let me know He got back to me within about five minutes. He was like, can you be in there? Alabama this Friday. I'm in South Carolina. So I'm like, yo, that's a you know That's right down the road and we was going to the start on which is a big comedy club So we go down there. We did the Friday show after the first show You know, I killed it when I didn't did my thing. I go on the back Eddie was like, you want to come to Vegas with me? What? I'm about to go buy my ticket right now. So before the arm's second show I had them already bought my ticket and everything and the rest was history I'm saying the rest of his and you know, a lot of people try to get to Vegas and get out there and do shows And I'm like you throw on me, you know, I'm saying you throw on me the alley who I'm about to dunk it So I go out there. I do my thing and I mean, you know, I just been with him ever since man Cuz what stood out to me last night was the fact that when I've been we've been to Arlington Improv many times and the headliner sometimes will have three four comics before and that's yeah And I'm like, why does he only have you right? Well, that's just how he like to do his shows but one thing I will say about Eddie is a lot of people want to get on these shows and they want to be with these You know, these leavens, you know, send these legends these og's and stuff like that But you got to remember it is a beast on stage and to go before him and try to you know Do what you got to do and because he gonna come out and go him, you know, I'm saying that's that's a known fact So I go out there and he say he like he liked the way I do things He you know, I say he liked the way I control the crowd the way how I'm out there having fun I'm not necessarily thinking about trying to make everybody laugh. I'm out there and I'm genuinely Fun and on top of that, I make sure that I go out there and do my job that way I get the crowd up I get everybody laughing. Okay. This is just a little taste now You about to get hit in the head with you know, I'm saying with the og I bring him out And you know, I'll show it just dope funny from beginning to the end, you know, I'm saying so How many comics have you worked with prior to Eddie? So I'll get you prepared for Eddie. Um, I've done shows with Capone. I've done shows with Gary Horne I've done shows with Bill Bellamy, Gattori John Witherspoon Well It's a lot of names Pierre It's a it's a nice way you did a lot of people before you actually got to edit. Oh, yeah Oh, yeah in that short span of time What's crazy is like I'm I just feel so blessed to be able to be doing what I'm doing because I know comics who've been doing comedy 10 plus years and Haven't been able to get out there where they need to be at it Some funny people out there in the world, you know, I'm saying, you know, and all of them deserve they shot Let me put that out there But you know, I'm saying a lot of people they want stuff handed to them They they want to just be like, hey, I do comedy. I'm funny. Put me on the show I'm like nah, they look at you ain't even got to pay me Just give me the experience and let me go out there and do my thing and if you like it bring me back again And every time that's what happened because because with me nobody expects for me to do and say the things that I say Like I'm not just up there talking. I'm dancing. I'm jumping around. I'm you know, I'm saying you you think I'm gonna talk About like how big I am or something like that. I'm not talking about none of that I'm giving you the real the straight like me coming up what happened with me and my grandmother You know, I'm saying like the band stuff like, you know, I'm out there just being crazy and having fun Man, that's the that's the big thing about it. And that's why I think that um that um, Eddie is so That me and him are so tight
