On Episode 19, David catches up with Timmy, an old friend from his days of doing stand up comedy in Chicago. Timmy part-owned a Chicago comedy club that unfortunately burned to the ground. With depression spiraling out of control, a series of awful events leaves Timmy divorced, jobless, and homeless, during the painful Chicago winter of the 2020 Covid Pandemic. By some miracle, Timmy finds his way to Las Vegas -- of all places -- to turn his life around. In this conversation, Timmy shares his turnaround story of triumph against all odds, and how he reinvented himself, right here in Las Vegas. ------------------------------------------------Episode Time Stamps:0:35 - Timmy's Intro3:00 - Stand Up Comedy In Chicago6:48 - Downward Spiral7:53 - The Dark Side Of Comedy9:30 - Comedy Club Burns To The Ground12:08 - Comedy Business Hard Lessons15:26 - Beginning Of The End17:20 - Comedians' Addictive Personalities19:15 - When Life Knocks You Down Further24:30 - The Darkest Depression30:05 - Leaving For Vegas33:35 - Teeth Knocked Out35:50 - Vegas Turnaround 38:20 - IUOE Local 12 Union Vegas43:20 - Do You Miss Comedy?46:01 - Las Vegas City Of Second Chances50:15 - Vegas Resort Style Living53:20 - Get Back Into Comedy?------------------------------------------------Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/vegas-faces/id1676881525Spotify Podcasts:https://open.spotify.com/show/1JQHzDhxTih1b8wpZHHDkNYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEgUhWKUF0f6p7xsp54qopQ/?sub_confirmation=1Website:https://TheVegasFaces.comEmail: TheVegasFaces@gmail.com------------------------------------------------Created By:David Gavri & Mary GavriLas Vegas © 2023Gavri Group Real Estate | Realty One Group Summerlin
