Inside the Hustle of Being a NY Stand-Up

Eagle Witt (IG @eaglewittofficial) is a born and raised New Yorker, a rising star in the stand-up comedy world, and quite possibly, your favorite comedian’s tip for the next big thing. His delivery is wildly comfortable and relatable, with one commenter on YouTube saying “his jokes almost feel like a friend at 3am just sharing his hilarious shower thoughts.” In this episode of ‘The Set Up’, directed by Lee Adams, we hang out with Eagle to learn about the process behind his stand and see all of the work , sacrifice, and failures that go into making a room full of strangers laugh for 15 minutes. For the more pedantic folks in the comments, this was filmed just before the 2024 election, and a bunch of Eagle’s jokes are about that very thing.
