Carlos Mateo

Occupation

I am a janitor. I also like writing scripts and my parents don’t approve of my comedy hobby.

Open Mic Comedy Player Type

Aspiring stand up comic/comedian. (Attend open mics but don't get paid to do shows.)

Years in Comedy

Where are you from?

Beaverton & Aloha Oregon

Why do you do comedy?

It’s a hobby. I’m very bored after work and I don’t have much going on so I do stand up to have a good time and have some laughs

Where was your first open mic and what was it like?

Kelly’s Olympian

Who is your favorite comedian, dead, living, or cancelled?

Dave Chappelle. I remember watching Chappelle show way too young and it sparked this idea that comedy isn’t always a stage and a mic. Comedy can be full of silly and fun ideas made into a short clip or film. Chris rock is a second due to him pushing the limits on race jokes and having that ability to just shit on people

Do you want to be a stand up comic/comedian as your career?

Maybe (Its complicated)

Based on your previous response of yes, no, or maybe; please tell us why?

I feel like I wouldn’t like to be famous. I wouldn’t like the idea of being a celebrity. Comedy is something I love doing and if I get paid doing it then I would hope to continue doing it and the only way to do that is to be successful and possibly famous.
