Laughing Our Way to Mental Health with Special Guest Antonio Barbosa

It's not every day that one has the opportunity to sit down with a very funny stand up comedian who also happens to host a top rated podcast called the "Smoking Simian." In this episode Antonio Barbosa shares his comedic journey from bombing in front of a large audience (and subsequently giving up) as the perfect catalyst to rediscovering his innate gift as a comedic talent who is now doing stand up in some of the best comedy clubs in the nation.

Antonio's Bio:

My name is Antonio Barbosa and the pandemic gave me the excuse I needed to start living MY life on MY terms. Realizing the need for independence, I started a podcast in August of 2020 titled The Smoking Simian. The premise of my show is to have interesting conversations with interesting guests and provide some insight into the lives of people you would have never met otherwise. I also decided that after a 5 year hiatus it was time to get back on stage as a comic and chase that dream as well. One I have had since I was a child. Nothing in this life is set in stone. My advice is to get out and DO everything you have ever wanted to, no matter how obscure or risky.
