I am not a standup comic and am not even funny really (lol). I have been listening to a comedy podcast recently and in the show the 2 hosts interview other standup comics. Some of the guests are super experienced and some are just up and coming. Age ranges are all over...as young as 16 up to early 60s. One common theme I noticed is that (most) of the comics they interview are extremely confident, even if they admit that they suffer from crazy anxiety. I noticed that it is very common for comics to experience anxiety/depression and not feel sure of themselves. Yet in interviews they come across as so confident (not cocky). As someone who is looking to fake confidence I am wondering how those of you that feel anxiety and have imposter syndrome do it?? Are there some tips and tricks specific to your industry?
