I actually started in improv and sketch first, and was very interested in comedic writing. That was my focus. Then I had videos go viral on Instagram, and that kind of changed my course. Before my course was, “Okay, I’ll get really good at writing, really good at stage performance, and work towards SNL, and then work towards a show.” Then, when I had videos that went viral online, the path changed a little bit, and I had a lot of demand to be seen in person by people, and so stand-up was the easy way to perform for people. I was really enjoying it. I looked at it as another form of storytelling, and while it’s not my favorite vehicle of storytelling, it was one that I enjoyed for a very long time, and still do from time to time. – Quinta Brunson for Flaunt Magazine
