This Actor Is On Fire And Taking Center Stage

I just had a fantastic interview with my friend Matthias Ludwig, an actor and stand-up comedian. We dove into his journey from acting to comedy, how he started booking gigs, and the interplay between his comedy and acting careers. The catalyst for this change? A desire to stop waiting and start creating.

In our conversation, we dove into the "how-to's" of his journey. Matthias highlighted the importance of facing your fears head-on. Whether it’s acting, comedy, or public speaking; bravery is doing it scared but doing it anyway.

One of the aspects he loves about standup comedy is the immediate feedback from the audience. This instant reaction helps him gauge what works and what doesn't, providing a fast-paced creative outlet compared to the slower feedback loop in acting. He emphasized the value of following your curiosity and keeping your creative juices flowing. 

Exploring different avenues like stand-up can reinvigorate your acting career and provide new opportunities. With a calendar now packed with bookings, Matthias embodies the spirit of taking charge in the entertainment realm. 

Matthias' story is super inspiring. Check out his interview and see for yourself.

Matthias Ludwig is quite active online. You can follow him on Instagram at where he shares updates about his comedy and acting work.
