Victor Frausto: Hustle, Heart, and Finding Your Voice in Comedy

In this episode of Kill the Small Talk, host Alex Caron continues the conversation with actor and comedian Victor Frausto, diving deeper into the realities of stand-up comedy, storytelling, and staying creatively sharp when the industry offers no guarantees. Victor breaks down how stand-up became both a creative outlet and a survival tool after graduating from Theater of Arts—something that keeps him confident, present, and connected to audiences even when acting work slows down. He shares lessons passed down from mentors about talking to the crowd like friends, leaning into awkwardness, and building material through honest, story-driven comedy. The conversation explores Victor’s approach to joke writing, self-deprecating humor, crowd work, and why warming up an audience matters more than shock value. Victor reflects on the adrenaline of his first stand-up performance, the importance of refining material over time, and how posting stand-up clips has helped open doors with casting directors. Alex and Victor also dig into Victor’s experience with the Independent Shakespeare Company—from auditioning during his TOA days to working behind the scenes, house managing shows, and eventually landing an on-stage role performing Shakespeare in Griffith Park. It’s a candid look at how relationships, persistence, and professionalism quietly build real opportunities. The episode wraps with a fast-paced “This or That” segment, advice for new comedians, thoughts on creative discipline, upcoming shows, and Victor’s plans for short films and a comedy sketch series. This episode is about staying ready, trusting your voice, and building momentum one honest step at a time.
