As I welcomed the irresistibly witty Dara Jermott onto the show, we couldn't help but swap audition horror stories and the sort of comedy venue nightmares that comedians whisper about in hushed tones. Dara regaled us with the twist of fate that led her to the stand-up stage and the raucous journey that followed, including a brush with America's Got Talent that proved talent can be found in the most unexpected places. Our laughter echoed as we recounted gigs on perilous rooftops and streets straight out of a hip-hop track, proving the path to comedic success is anything but straight and narrow.

Our conversation took a turn down the less-traveled roads of the comedy tour life, where the spotlight is often accompanied by a hefty dose of solitude. We shared tales from the road, the pre-show jitters, and the post-performance buzz that all comics chase, whether the night was a roaring success or a lesson in humility. Listeners get a backstage pass to the triumphs and trials that come with connecting with crowds from every corner of the map and the strategies that make anywhere feel like home for a night.

Wrapping up with the vibrant Dara Jammott we discovered just where to find her infectious humor online. From her energetic Facebook page to her Instagram handle, @chocolatejem, Darareveals how she keeps fans laughing between shows while steering clear of the Twitterverse. As we bid farewell, remember to support the comedians who keep our spirits high by engaging with our content and maybe, just maybe, you'll be inspired to share your own slice of humor with the world.

Speaker 1:

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another episode of the no ID podcast is me, your host, jerome Davis. I have here fellow comedian. She was featured on America's Got Talent. She is a professional of living her best life. You see her Instagram. Her page is nothing but vibes. You see her all around doing her thing. I'm very proud I discovered her. I want to say discover her. I saw her on the explore page. I won't say discover because I'm not no damn talent host, no booking agent and none of that.

Speaker 2:

The one on there, Hell I ain't no, chris McLean, discover shit.

Speaker 1:

Darrell Jermott, how you doing.

Speaker 2:

I'm doing well, jerome. I'm very happy to be here. One thank you for that amazing intro. One thing is I have to clarify before people get on Google and start calling me out. I was not actually on America's Got Talent, but I auditioned for the executive producers, so that's where that picture came from, just to read. I just don't want anyone being like this. So yeah, but yeah, I got far in the game, but never made it to the actual stage.

Speaker 1:

Okay, let's start. How was that audition? Because I just did one back in February. I was that audition. It was nerve wrecking.

Speaker 2:

It was nerve wrecking. I had a really non-conventional audition and congratulations on your audition. That's awesome. I had a pretty non-conventional audition experience because I used to host a mic in Brooklyn, a Wednesday comedy workout. Shout out to Joanna Briley and everyone who used to come. We were approached for one of the producers to come to the mic and have an audition there. I was hosting the mic.

Speaker 2:

I almost didn't even audition because it felt weird. I don't know I was getting in my head. I don't know why I wouldn't have auditioned. That would have been silly. I ended up auditioning and we basically got front-loaded to the executive producers from there. I just showed up at the Javits Center and was escorted into a room. I didn't really have to wait online or apply or do any of those things. I just showed up. Yay Sounds incredibly unfair to say out loud, but it's what happened. It was a really great experience. It was a few years ago at this point, so I was still pretty green. I don't know if I would do it again, but maybe Maybe I think you should do it again.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I think so. I think anytime you do it one time, and let's just say it didn't go the way that you wanted it to do, just go again. Shit, what do we have to lose? We, as comedians, will drive three hours for three minutes set.

Speaker 2:

I've done things for comedy that I would never have done for anything ever. I was walking to meet my friend at a bar the other day and it was down this sketchy, seedy block. If this was for a comedy show, I would have no problem doing this. I'd be like no, no, no, no. But I was like this is just for fun and just what. This is so dangerous. I got to get out of here, See, but I walked down the shadiest blocks for a comedy show.

Speaker 1:

I walked through the shadiest blocks, performing the raggidest of buildings. We all know how that shit starts, man.

Speaker 2:

Exactly. I've gone up the subway and I've looked at the street sign and I'm like these are addresses I've only heard in rap songs One, two, three, and I'm playing. I'm like we're going to do a comedy show. Let's do it.

Speaker 1:

Damn, what's the raggidest, the most sketch place you've ever performed at, I'm going to say recently.

Speaker 2:

I can't remember any recently, but during pandemic there was this place, which they've cleaned it up. They're inside now, but anyone who performs in New York and if they performed in pandemic might remember when Tiny Covered in Brooklyn first started, it was on the rooftop and you had to climb several stairs, one including one where it felt like you were at any moment going to fall off and fall to your death, and then the roof started sinking. They would barrier it off because there were all these soft spots in the roof that it may or may not have been great to step on. There was also no guardrail around the roof, so just and people would drink up there all the time. The fact that no one died is like. I don't know how that happened, but there are people who would not come back because they were like I'm not climbing the stairs, so that they're now like it's a whole club inside. It's beautiful. They've done all these renovations and stuff.

Speaker 2:

When it first started we were risking our life for comedy, both with COVID and with our dexterity in climbing stairs. We were taking gambles. So yeah, I don't. I can't remember any ragging places recently, thank God.

Speaker 1:

Elevated your life.

Speaker 2:

I've elevated. I've elevated. Never mind the sirens, I've elevated. It's like you want a raggedy block right now.

Speaker 1:

So yeah, they didn't have no sillings. Meanwhile you got sirens going on in the background the whole time.

Speaker 2:

Exactly.

Speaker 1:

How long have you been in the comedy game and what made you, or who made you, jump into it?

Speaker 2:

So I started in 2014. I started September. 2014 was my first show, and how I started was I went on a date with a guy and it was May 19th. I love this story so much. It was May 19th, Malcolm X's birthday, and I remember this because on our first date, he takes me to the Shabazz Center in Harlem for a celebration of Malcolm X's life. Now, next to me on our first date, my date was over here, but over here was my date's grandmother, and next to my date's grandmother were all four of Malcolm X's daughters, when they were all still alive. So I only give you the context of this so that you can understand why I was so upset. Later, May then later took me to his job.

Speaker 2:

So again, I'm still on my P's and Q's. I'm on my best behavior because we just came from Grandma Ma. Now we're in front of the coworkers like I'm trying to be good, you know. So we're passing a comedy club which is actually one of my home clubs now, Grizzly Pear, on McDougal, and he had been listening and he said I got a surprise for you. I'm like okay, and he said we're going to go to. He said once we turned up McDougal, I knew we were going to my Moons, which is like one of my favorite places in New York cheap falafel, real, delicious Staple in New York City. So we're passing the pear, someone's selling tickets outside and I said we're going to get food. He said, well, you can bring the food back.

Speaker 2:

And then I jokingly said well, if I come back, we come back. I'm getting on stage and my date looks at the guy and says, no, she's not, she's not funny. I can still feel my blood boiling every, every time I tell the story of my blood boils to the point where I want to cause physical harm to this man whose name I can't even remember at this point, Like I can't even remember who this dude was, but I remember we got my Moons. We came back to the show, the crowd work wasn't going well. My responses to the crowd work were better than their punchlines. And then at the end my date was like oh, you are funny. And I was like this is above me now. This is above you now. I now have to show the world how funny I am because you got me fucked up. So, yeah, we're on a petty revenge mission.

Speaker 1:

Eight years in.

Speaker 2:

Look, I'm a Sagittarius, I hold a grudge. Okay, once you, once you cross me, you're dead to me and I'm going to piss on your ashes. So that's what we're doing. So, yeah, that's how I started to get in the comedy.

Speaker 1:

You remember that first time have you ever bombed, even at first bad show, that first bad set, like that first bomb? How was it?

Speaker 2:

Um, okay, this is going to sound like BS, but I fundamentally don't believe in bombs.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

Here's why. And he actually told me to stop telling people this. But I can't stop telling people this, and then when I tell people this, I've got to give the credit. So it's to chicken and egg. I was having a conversation with Tony Woods one day and he was like we had both done mingles, and mingles is a particularly hard show. I had been warned, so that was technically a bomb, like it was. It was like performing for old Caribbean people Like is like being at my family reunion and nobody cared and it was really hard because the championship game was playing behind us. The NBA championship was like. It was like LeBron and Curry. So this was this was a few years ago too and he I come back in after my not great set and he's like basically watching the game with them, like he's just, he's just handling it so well. And when he got off stage, we're having conversation and he's like there's a difference between winners and champions. Winners lose, champions learn. So from every bomb experience that you have, it's really an opportunity to learn something. It's an opportunity to look back. Listen to the tape.

Speaker 2:

What didn't go well? Was it my energy? Did I need to clear something from my head before I got on stage. Was it something that was happening in the room that I didn't address? Did I miss a word in one of my setups? What happened?

Speaker 2:

It's a way to be inquisitive about what it is that you're doing and how people are receiving it, rather than just be like, oh, that didn't go well and want to shoot yourself. So ever since he said that, that kind of shifted my perspective on how I think about not doing well on stage. But we can call mingles a bomb. Also, I was supposed to do like five minutes and the host shout out to Smokey, left me on stage for like 13 minutes and I didn't know that, didn't know that was going to happen, and it was like eight years ago. So I was mentally prepared for five. And here we are, 13 minutes later Just trying to entertain these old Caribbean people. I just felt like it was like my grandpa just looking at me, just like not happy to be there, very upset at me for interrupting his sports watching.

Speaker 1:

We got a room. We have a room like that here in Virginia and it's the same way. It's like a Caribbean, jamaican type spot. Tvs are blaring up and everybody goes and he's like man, I did not bomb. I did not bomb, I was like I don't know if he was at the same show I was at, but we all bomb and I remember like I only went there two times, but it was this one guy that was going there. He went there like three weeks in a row. His uncle was bring, come there. Let me tell you something. That third time but it retired from comedy.

Speaker 1:

It was just so fucking tough to get over in there, like Kevin Hart, mike Epps, zanae, josh, could have came out there and did their best work. They did not give two fucks what we said up in there. Like I was like yo, this is, this is rough, and that was like what, like a year and a half ago, and I was like damn. But I was like damn, I bombed. It was like bro, you didn't bomb Everybody in here, bomb it didn't matter. But you hear folks Me killed that shit. Like bro, I don't know what room you was in, but you bombed.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, no, and I don't believe in that. Do Lulu behavior either, where it's like, where someone's like I did grass, what did you know? No, no, no, no, no, no. But I do find solace when every single person gets off stage and they're like damn, you know, because they didn't know, it's not just me that they didn't like, and because I host a lot, sometimes it's really hard for me to gauge what's happening. You know like maybe they just don't like me. But by the third comic, if they're not into the vibes, I'm like okay, well, good, it's all of us. It's all of us that they don't like. I also, whenever, whenever I feel because I never like to blame the audience and sometimes it's it is just the vibe of the audience, sometimes it's just it's hard.

Speaker 2:

And I think, coming out of pandemic, I think a lot of people have watched so much comedy at home that they don't understand the energetic reciprocal experience that a comedy show is. If you give us energy, we're going to give you energy. Now, thinking that when audiences aren't giving me energy, I almost go into like a hyperactive child mode, like I doubled down on the energy. I'm going to be all up in your face. I'm almost going to force you and drag that smile at least out of you, because I'm not paying to be here. I am getting paid to be here. I don't know what you left your house for, but you're here for a good time. So either get on board or watch this manic behavior. I'm making everybody uncomfortable. How about that?

Speaker 1:

I've been in some room with comedians at going on the stage and told inside jokes. They'm like man. The fucking crowd didn't get us. I know I don't think they didn't get it. I don't know comedy. I know what I'm doing. Like bro, you're up, you're on the stage telling inside jokes. You wreck the crowd. I won't blame the crowd personally. I was like man. It could be the person in front of me. It could have been the host. I think one time a fight broke out no-transcript, and another time I had a chicken bone thrown at me and a dinner roll. Yeah, oh, damn bro.

Speaker 2:

Wait, why are you the second comedians Chicken bone throwing at them?

Speaker 1:

I don't know, he did it on purpose. And then, but I'm five for four, I can't, you know me, I don't have no dog in the fight and my voice is not as deep. So, like I saw the chicken bone come at my feet, I'm like who the fuck through it? I didn't work. You know, dinner roll came at me like another time and then, I don't know, they cut the lights off on me. I've had lights cut off on me. I had the music played on me. This is early in my career. I took a month off from comedy and I say I'm gonna start a podcast.

Speaker 2:

And here we are here we are.

Speaker 1:

You know, I fuck, but nah, man Nah.

Speaker 2:

I haven't had a chicken bone thrown at me. I have had a fight start during my set and I have had the lights turned off on me, which was wild, because I was is actually Virginia. I was doing 20 minutes in Virginia and I was really excited. It was one of my first road trips. It was right before a pandemic and I think we were in like West Virginia too, and yeah yeah.

Speaker 2:

So About six maybe seven minutes into my 20 minutes, the lights just go out and like I've been a dancer all my life and One thing that is instilled in me as the show goes on, like I've danced with no music, when the music cut out, you know you, just you got to work with it. So I'm like I can't leave the stage just because I'm in the dark. So I did about 13 minutes in the dark in a dark room with like 300 white people and my head I'm like, did they my head the whole time? I'm like is this an accident or are they doing this to mess with me because I'm black? Like I did not know, and that's just most cycling in the back of my head and of course, I had to say some like real crazy things, like Okay, well, I know you can't see me, but just follow the teeth, you know.

Speaker 2:

In hindsight I'm like it feels a little coonery and buffoonery, but I had to say something so that we could all get on board with the fact that I am in the dark and I'm doing this anyway. And then the guy who was running the lights, he was really out of like apologetic. He bought me a drink, but I still I don't know. I feel like I Don't know. I still, to this day, don't know if they did that on purpose or not.

Speaker 1:

You in West Virginia. You in West Virginia they say NAACP with the heart are up there. I do not go out that bitch. I don't go nowhere with myself on services not accepted. That means my black ass is not going accepted at all.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, no, yeah, I've had. I've had some good experiences in West Virginia, though, but I go there sparingly. If they were paying me, I would not be in West Virginia.

Speaker 1:

So you ain't been to my part of Virginia, so we good.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

I'm in the regular Virginia was actually black people. That's allowed to a certain extent.

Speaker 2:

Were you in like Petersburg.

Speaker 1:

No, who hell? Not Petersburg, not a not allowed there. But uh, I Am in Chesapeake, Virginia.

Speaker 2:

Okay, yeah, yeah, I've been. I've been a few places of Virginia.

Speaker 1:

Is. That's okay. The comedy scene here is fucking weird, but it is what it is. I Speak in a road trips. How is comedy on the road being a role comic, a traveling comic? How is that life? Is it interesting? I know you get different vibes and stuff like that.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's different vibes I haven't done. I want to do more of it. I haven't done as much road comedy as I would like to. I've done Virginia, I've done Boston, I've even done it in like London and Barcelona, but I find the road life to be it's interesting and and also a little lonely, because you know you're there and you're just waiting all day for this show at night and and it's it's.

Speaker 2:

It's lonely but also I like I like Adventures and I like meeting people and I like going to different spaces and like I just did a show in Atlantic City a few weeks ago and there were these people from pine something, new Jersey, I can't. I can't remember what it was and I'm from New Jersey and I had no clue where they were talking about. And there was, like these people from pine, whatever New Jersey looked like they had never Even met a black person, like there's no black people there after the sun goes down ever. They were giving real sundown, sundown. But it was so great is that when I got on stage, one of the guys like even like trucker hat and beard down here Came over and pie my shoulder he was like you were so great.

Speaker 2:

So there's something, I think, really magical. And even that same thing happened when I performed in West Virginia, like I was walking around the casino after and I was having all these conversations with people who I wouldn't be able to interact with if I didn't do comedy. You know, like we, if we were just two people in Walmart, we wouldn't talk to each other. You know, I mean, I probably wouldn't be in their town if someone wasn't paying me to begin with, but To begin with, but to be, to be able to have that bond and to be able to, you know, get past the perception of what, of what each other is thinking about the other and, you know, unify over jokes that I made. I feel like it's it's, it's tremendously gratifying.

Speaker 1:

I yeah, I get it. When I go out of town. This I book my hotel to make sure it has like a restaurant in the hotel, cuz. I don't know shit about what's going on. I think I was in Connecticut one time. I was at the Mohegan Sun performing. I thought, oh hell, no, I'll make sure my shit got a cafe in there. I was in LA, did the same thing, but uh, like the anticipation of waiting for the show. I get there the day before, I'm gonna get there the day before, get myself together, but the Tensipation for waiting for the show, like you trying to clear your head, but I don't want to go out here and waste time and whatever other money I invested To essentially bomb.

Speaker 2:

Did you Bob?

Speaker 1:

I didn't bomb. I didn't bomb, I had a okay set. It was very mid to what I do. And that's when I was in Connecticut and I was like yo, what the fuck? But I had a guy. I Got mad and a little envious cuz he got up there and just talking about shooting cocaine up for five minutes and I was like I can't, I don't even take cough syrup.

Speaker 2:

Why don't you take off syrup?

Speaker 1:

I believe in holistic killing. I we're gonna leave it there, we're gonna leave it there, we'll leave it there, we're gonna leave it there. Actually, like New York comedy, because New York comedy shows one of the reasons why I got into comedy, like I Credit a lot of people in New York, like I love Jerry Seinfeld is my favorite comedian, playing hands down a simple and bad boys a comedy and my eyes was like the ship before but it was canceled too early. So when bad boys comedy came around, when you brung up Tony Woods, that's when I first discovered Tony Woods up there. But it was like a smorgasbord of people With bad boys come because you got the New York comments. She had the down south comments at Midwest East Coast, whatever. But like I've interviewed and talked to a couple people in New York and they just love it. They say, man, I could go to three mics a night. Compared to Virginia, we only have like maybe one, but two quality ones they'll pull up.

Speaker 2:

That's the thing. That's one of the things I love about New York and performing here is, you know, the money obviously is other places, but the fact that you can get I know it's someone who can do Like five shows average a night. I Think I can't remember who has the the top, like who was who's done the most and how much that, how many that was. But there's a comic, jared Waters, and His nickname is turbo because he is. He can go to so many shows in one night. And then, you know, I talked to people who perform other places and they're like, yeah, you know, maybe it's like, so if we get three shows a week, it's, it's, it's good, you know, and you and they're so far away from each other that you can't get from one to the other.

Speaker 2:

You know, like I had to leave a show the other day. I was hosting two shows back-to-back and they're about a half an hour away from each other. So I, you know, I told the last community. I was like you're gonna have to end this show. I'm really sorry, but I'm not giving up this other money. Um, so I got on a train. I was there in like 20 minutes. I was there 15 minutes early ready to go. Let's do it. And I don't know how many other cities I'd be able to do that in. When I was in Boston, I was able to do a few shows a night, but primarily because two of them were in the same location but was able to take the tee and get to the other one. It was not as easy though it is in New York, you know.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, no, I just like you'll get one. It'll start off good and then it just turns into a fucking fiasco, so I'll step away from it. I it was a point even after the lockdown I was still doing virtual mics and that's no crowd, no real host. But the best thing about I could do like four mice without having to put my pants on. I just sit right here in the living room.

Speaker 2:

So good, so good, just Sit down comedy. Just I just put on a lip, did I shower Maybe?

Speaker 2:

Maybe, maybe you get smelling through the screen, so it doesn't matter. I During pandemic I wasn't sure I was going to do zoom comedy. I know people had like Attitudes about it and maintain that same attitude throughout pandemic. But then I ended up started making a lot of money during zoom Shows that, like these companies were paying red. So for ten minutes and I didn't have to leave the house. You signed me up.

Speaker 2:

But the first show that I did which kind of broke any any thought I had about whether or not I was in a do zoom comedy or not, my friend Beth Maria was doing, who's also a comic, was doing a fundraiser to help get 3d mass covers made for medical like Medical people, the essentials, the people who kept us alive for them and then we were able to also get some for the MTA. So she was doing a fundraiser and I was like, all right, well, if I have the time, I'm not doing anything. So I have the time and let me do the Zoom show so I can help out in the best way that I know. And that helped me so much because I had a lot of experience and I was able to do it and I was able to do it and I was able to do it and that helped me so much because I didn't really know how to use Zoom and so I didn't know that you could like slide over to see different views.

Speaker 2:

So I was just on that first view and there was just a little box with the man, like the little, like gray circle, like person emoji thing, and I did my whole set to that and the only time it would flash is if someone like made a noise or laughed and I was like this this can only go up from here, this is so bad.

Speaker 2:

It feels so awkward, but once I realize how you know, just swipe on over and you can see everyone that it was fine. I did a lot of Zoom shows. I'm not going to lie, it was one of the most irritating things about doing comedy that you see all the fucking time.

Speaker 1:

What's the most irritating? I'm not going to lie.

Speaker 2:

What's the most irritating.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, like annoying this, ain't it?

Speaker 2:

Okay, I have a few things.

Speaker 1:

The laugh got me, and then the pearly whites came out.

Speaker 2:

You things that really bothered me. I understand crowd work and how we all need clips and all of that, but when the fourth or fifth comic asked the same exact questions that I, as a host, and the first three comics have already asked, it just becomes so like redundant and you can tell that the audience is over being asked the same exact question.

Speaker 1:

Thank you.

Speaker 2:

It's so irritating. So sometimes when I come in, I like to. I always like to. If I'm late, I like to have a conversation with the host, like hey, what do you know about the audience? So that I'm already, I can already get myself acclimated to the room and what's happening and what did I miss? You know, and I'm happy to do that for any comic that comes in if they want to know. You know, when they just come up there and just start repeating the same thing, it's just like okay, I need you to do something different.

Speaker 2:

Second, I hate when comics belittle the people being there, like if it's a small show or if it's, you know, if the crowds, you know, still need some warming up, when they're like why are you? Oh god, you guys must not have any lives. Why are you here in this back room? It's like they're here to make your dreams come true. They're spending their time and their money and the least thing that you can do is tell the jokes and be a tad bit appreciative that they are giving of their time and their energy, because they could be anywhere else in the world right now. They don't have to be here.

Speaker 2:

Um, I, I hate when people run my light, don't, don't run my light. I don't like that. I don't like that at all. And when people do it unapologetically, especially when they're not getting laughs like if you're getting laughs, all right, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. I'll let you leave on that high, no problem. But if you're dragging it and it's not going well, and now you're three minutes over the light, I will walk up on stage, get off the stage. You are ruining everything. I think that those are my top three. I'm sure I could go on. Those are the ones that are the most annoying.

Speaker 1:

I think my top three was like what you said when people asked the audience the same thing. So like I did an open mic when it was like I wish I was exaggerating. It was 40 comedians. We're all getting three minutes. First, I'm like number 38. I got doing that. What's going on? Second comedian hey, how are you doing tonight? What's going on? I'm like God damn. So I call myself going up there and say hey, how are you doing tonight? Don't worry about answering it. You had 37 other comedians before me say the same shit. Set the crowd off.

Speaker 1:

I hate when people try and skip the actual grind and then get mad Meaning. It's like a comedian that hasn't been doing it even a year, as never touch the actual comedy stage, but wants to shoot a special with 300 followers and then wants to bring you in on it and does the most. I also hate when I have some comedians like here. We get comedians that want to be everything but a comedian. They want to be a booker, they want to be a talent manager, they want to be a mentor. Don't even have ink on the resume. Meanwhile you got somebody that has ink on their resume and you come up here trying to school them. I'm like, bro, I will slap fire out of you If you critique my shit because you have yet to fucking put in work.

Speaker 1:

I had a comedian self told me one time motherfuckers had 131 followers 131. That might have been his baby, mama's couple, church folks, family and coworkers. Yeah, man, I'm going on tour. I'm like how long we doing comedy? Don't worry about that man. Probably about seven months. I'm like, bro, wherever you perform that, nowhere it's church. I was like, yeah, this shit ain't gonna wear a big dog. I think you need to come on back to the drum board, get a little, you know, get a 10 good quality half hour set and come back and hold it. That's the one thing. And then they hit you up when the shit don't go right and get mad.

Speaker 2:

Like try to warn you, Try to tell you, ok, no, yeah, I think. I think people like to skip steps and don't want to put in the work and that that is very annoying. But I guess you know, to each his own, everyone has their own journey.
