Meet Mr. Sam See, stand-up and improv’ comic – and the MC for ANZA’s Hilarity for Charity event on Wednesday 18 April.
What was the day job before becoming a full-time comic?
I was a show runner and producer for other comedy shows and festivals, but I gave that up last year to fully focus on being a performer.
What do you draw on most with your comedy?
It seems weird to say but “anger” and “hate”! Things that annoy me drives me to speak in a passionate and funny way about them.
What would people be most surprised at when coming to see your set?
The fact that I am acerbic and caustic, all coming out from something that small and petite.
Toughest gig?
Performing in front of my parents for the first time in a theatre. They haven’t disowned me yet so I guess I did okay.
Who’s been the most exciting comic to open for?
Honestly, all of the people I’ve opened for. I’ve been fortunate that it’s nothing but a pleasure to watch and work with other stand-up performers.
Do you do many charity events?
I have done a number of them through my time in comedy, and they’re always fun! (Especially when the audience has a drink… or five).
What can ANZA members look forward to with your set at Hilarity for Charity?
A host that’ll wow you, entertain and also help you to finish off any alcohol you can’t consume.
