Up And Coming Comedian: Jett Wilson


Bro, let everybody out there who don't know you know who you are and what you do!

My name is Jett Wilson I'm a stand up comic/ actor/ writer from Fort Lauderdale, Fl

Where can people find you bro?

I'm a local comic I'm prolly somewhere at a open mic rite now working on my set, but I'd prefer my e mail jettwilson954@gmail.com  I'm also on twitter just @ me, @JettWilson , on Facebook Jett Wilson and on YouTube JettTv and on instagram under the same name!


Who inspired you to do what you do an why?

I would have to say Martin Lawrence made me wanna be a comedian, Richard Pryor made me love comedy, and Mike Epps and Patrice Oneal make me want to keep going!!!
How long have you been doin what you do?

I got on stage at the Hollywood Improv when I was 16 years old and haven't gotten off the stage since, I'm 24... 8years!!! But the last 2 years have been my most consistent years in comedy



Why do you do it?

I love making people laugh, I love the attention when I'm on stage and the fact that people want to listen. I look into the crowd a lot at their crowd facial expressions and the more and more I'm on stage it seems like the more they want to hear. Besides that this is a one man job, I don't have a teammate on stage it's just me, and I love holding my own weight out there it's a real rush.








Where do you hope/aim to be in the next three years?

In the next 3 years I just want to be an established comedian, that doesn't have a set crowd I can only perform in front of, I want to be able to get on stage anywhere and get the same results, LAUGHTER!!



What words of encouragement do you have for someone coming up tryna do what you do?

I tell a lot of comics to be themselves, advice we've all heard our entire lives but it's also the best advice you can get in this comedy game. People wanna know what bothers you, your story, your life, not someone else's you trying to portrait. So just be yourself, talk about what you feel comfortable talking about




What makes you different from everyone else who's doin what you do?

One of the biggest differences between me and other comics is I don't do this for the money I actually love doing stand up, if I'm able to come up financially I'd be happy but just to be able to be considered as a comedian and such



What projects are you workin on?

I'm on the road now putting together a 30 minute set for my 3rd local DVD "Live, Local, and Late Breaking". I plan on putting together a comedy special in my hometown of Fort Lauderdale, Fl




Any closing remarks?

I appreciate you guys opening up to me and inviting me on your blog, I'd like to give a s/o to my Mother, thank God for allowing me to do this much and basically ask them people to Free my Daddy
