LoginThe Metro: Crowd plays key role in comedian Sam Tallent’s sets
Sam Tallent is an entertainer who has spent two decades on the stage as a musician and comedian. Sam, like many comics, has told jokes that didn’t land with the crowd, so he pivoted in real time. He turned those moments into lessons that refined his craft.
It’s a relentless grind that he illustrates best through the perspective of a fictional comedian in his recent novel “Running the Light.”
He joined the show ahead of his run of stand-up shows October 16-18 at Mark Ridley’s Comedy Castle in Royal Oak to discuss his process, his inspirations, and his new book.
