Dom L'Amour speaks with little cousin Cam AKA @_cameronkeys about

Comedy, inspiration, our upbringing, and the future.

Ever wonder what it takes to captivate a room full of strangers with nothing but your wit? Join me as I sit down with my incredibly talented cousin Cam, who has spent the last nine years mastering the delicate dance of stand-up comedy. Together, we unravel the threads of authenticity and originality that hold the power to transform a good joke into a great one. Cam's journey from rehearsed one-liners to genuine, off-the-cuff storytelling reveals the raw honesty that truly connects a comedian with their audience. We also tackle the contentious topic of joke theft head-on, probing the ethical lines in the quest for laughter and the pursuit of a unique comedic voice.

The path of a stand-up comedian is peppered with applause and silences, and Cam and I don't shy away from either. We recount the cringe-worthy memory of a gig in a barbershop where the clippers buzzed louder than the laughter, alongside the triumphs of evenings where every punchline hit home. Our conversation weaves through the tapestry of emotions that a comedian endures, balancing the scales of resilience and vulnerability. As we reminisce, we pay homage to our upbringing and the comedic giants who've inspired us, highlighting the way family and humor often intertwine to shape a performer's destiny.

Wrapping up the episode, heartfelt thanks go out to each listener who's joined the Black man Talking Emotions podcast. Special nods to Carl Christian Flores for his wisdom, and a call to keep the laughter alive by following Cam on his comedic odyssey on Instagram. We hint at future collaborations and the growing community we're nurturing; a space where stories are exchanged, and humor is a shared language. So, keep your ears tuned and your spirits ready for more laughter-laden conversations to come.

Speaker 1:

I'm calling people, I don't sell a joke and they don't even gotta be my joke. If I see somebody stealing something that I know is not there, I'm gonna say something yeah, it's like bro. Now you know that's not your joke, man. You don't have any integrity, any cool, no work ethic, you know. Yeah, I feel like there being original is very important, but a lot of people not, and originally definitely separates you from the rest of the people.

Speaker 3:

That caught himself committing, and I think that's what makes it so important and I think that's what makes it so important. Ladies and gentlemen, and anyone else who is here, my name is Dom Lamor and you are listening to the Black man talking to Motions Podcast. On today's episode, I speak with my little cousin, cam, about comedy, inspiration and our upbringing. Jokes create the air in our lungs and as long as humans deal with humans, there will forever be something laughable to point out in the room. You are a comedian. Your passion, the thing I know you as is a comedian, and I'm very proud of you for pursuing your career and truly making an effort to do what you do. You're actually out there every night. You're traveling, you're meeting people, you're networking. You're doing what you're supposed to do to get where you wanna go. How long have you one been a comedian? How long did you think about pursuing comedy?

Speaker 1:

Actually, this July it'll be nine years. We're just crazy to say out loud.

Speaker 3:

Wow, it's been nine years already.

Speaker 1:

Technically, I started the year before I really started, because I started when I was 17, but I only went on stage one time and then after that I stopped for a whole year and then I started back. So I don't even count the first time. I was on stage for years. So this year it'll be July 21st.

Speaker 3:

And when you hear me say you are a comedian, what does that mean to you hearing that title?

Speaker 1:

That means that, no matter what stage, what situation, you're able to go out there each night and put on the best performance. Be honest on stage, be original on stage. For me that's what it means. For me Some people they might not be as original, but for me it means be original on stage and be honest. Be clear as far as what I wanna talk about Make people laugh. That's what it's about. It's really about making people laugh and letting the audience forget about whatever they're going through. Personally, come to the show for about an hour and a half, two hours. Enjoy they self, get some food, get some drinks and enjoy your show. Enjoy it night out.

Speaker 3:

You said originality is important to you. How often do you write? How often are you putting together?

Speaker 1:

concepts. I mean I'm putting together stuff all the time, daily. I don't really sit down and write anymore because when I first started there was something that was kind of difficult for me because I was trying to memorize what I wrote down everything. I wrote down every line, and that was hard. So I stopped doing that and just started thinking about what I wanted to talk about, and then I might write down a premise or something or a couple lines, and then I'll go and try it on stage and then I'll come back and write it down, do more like bullet points and stuff now.

Speaker 3:

How do you feel comedy wise? Are you improving? Are you slowing down? Are you losing inspiration? Are you gaining more inspiration? Is it getting better, and how do you feel that the process has been going for you?

Speaker 1:

It's been going good. I mean, sometimes you do lose inspiration. I've got into a situation where I might be comparing myself to you know, my peers that's doing this and doing that, and I'm like, why isn't it anything going off of me? So I might lose inspiration, you know, but you can't really think about that. Really, you cannot think about comparing yourself to your peers that do the same thing you do, because it sounds cliche, but what's meant for you is meant for you, yeah, because you're probably doing stuff that they're not doing. You gotta think about that and kind of take everything in and kind of be present in the moment, like in the moment and I'm starting to get better with this but if something happened, I just kind of do something and then I'll just be like, ok, what's the next thing? I'm trying to get funnier. You can always get funnier. Jokes never over. You can always add to it.

Speaker 1:

2023 was kind of rough because I lost my job and stuff. Comedy, career wise, it was great. I mean, I was able to check some things off on my list and it's been definitely a process. But I think once you hit these hardships in life, sometimes that's really the way you're able to get a joke out, you know. Yeah, so if something go away, all you have is the West. Funny about this.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

That's what I've been starting to appreciate kind of hone in on, like just throughout life, trying to just be more honest on stage and have a clear mind, and this is what I want to talk about. Like this last year been great, been able to meet some people, things have been happening and it's been great.

Speaker 3:

Of course, right now we're all in the aftermath of this Cat Williams thing, where he's talking about people still in jokes and this and that, and how egregious people usually look at still in jokes. That is the highest sin of all comedians. And what ways do you feel like you've paved your own style and your own lane, or do you feel like you've borrowed from other comedians, which you know everyone does? It's a weird concept of still in jokes, because most people go up there and they usually are taking elements from other people to build their own style. How do you feel like you've worked your own?

Speaker 1:

originality out. I feel like at first, when you start off, you might watch a comic, especially if you're a fan of comedy. You might see what works, and then try to do that, maybe like your first or second time, yeah, but after that you're able to kind of start trying something and maybe try to find your voice I mean, but it does segment to find your voice, like that's the reason why I started doing stand up. I started doing stand up because I wanted to make people laugh or something that I made up like that I created.

Speaker 1:

There's a lot of people out here that's sharing jokes, which is unfortunate, but the stealing jokes thing is just wack. I've had a joke stolen before and the guy tried to pass it off on the show, like it was like just in private. He thought of off the top of his head, and I saw the video on Facebook and I was like dude, like come on, now you know that's my joke and I called him out on it. Yeah, I've caught people out on stealing jokes and they don't even gotta be my joke. If I see somebody stealing something that I know is not theirs, I'm gonna say something yeah, it's like bro, now you know that's not your joke, man. You don't have any integrity, any cool, no work ethic. You know, I just have to. I feel like there being original is very important, but a lot of people not, and the originality definitely separates you from the rest of the people. That caught himself comedians.

Speaker 3:

I remember this was the same thing being spoken about with rappers when Drake got fronted out for not writing his lyrics by Mick Mill and Tyrese was on an interview once and they were talking about how that's not cool, he should write his own raps. If he gonna say he's the best rapper, he should write his own raps. And Tyrese was like, well, I'm a singer and my biggest song is Sweet Lady and I didn't write that song. What's the difference? And a lot of people really sided with Tyrese on that and me, as a performer, I'm also a person. I sing other people's songs, I write music and I've had people sing songs that I wrote.

Speaker 3:

And that's a really, really fine line when it comes to what I do versus what a comedian does.

Speaker 3:

And I think that starts in the sense that we look at comedians almost as if they're like the news, which is kind of crazy, but it's the truth. And if you are a comedian who's saying things as yourself, if you're going up there being like this is my act, this is me, but then you are reading other people's words or you're taking something you heard from someone else and using it yourself, it almost sounds like you're betraying us, even though your whole job is to make us laugh and most of the time comedians are making us laugh by telling us lies that they've created. That's funny. It's still something that we look to a certain comedian for this honor system. But then there's other comedians, like you know, like Seth Meyers or Jimmy Fallon, where we know they have writers and that's okay. But if it came out that George Carlin or even Dave Chappelle actually didn't write the words that they say are theirs, that would just break our hearts. Why do you feel like that's such a huge thing for a comedian specifically?

Speaker 1:

That's a huge thing for a comedian because we, like you said, we kind of looked at like the news and with the news people kind of look for the news to be truthful and I think it's important. I think it's important to be truthful on stage and, like it's been comedians who made up whole stories that's not their life and then they got found out about it later on. They didn't steal it, but they also just made up a whole story that's not even true.

Speaker 3:

Assaminais has been going through a lot of stuff with that.

Speaker 1:

You really have to just learn how to be you and embrace what your story is, and embrace your creativity and your thought pattern and your process.

Speaker 3:

And last thing I wanna ask before I move on to the next thing someone, literally when I was telling them I was gonna talk to you about comedy, they were like oh you gotta ask them about bombing. We all know what it is. We all know what bombing is, we know what it looks like. We know how awkward it feels for us to watch someone bombing. Have you ever bombed in your opinion?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, absolutely yeah, yeah, yeah bombed. My worst bomb was at this barbershop. I don't even know where it was at, where it what the name is, but I think it was by Umsul at St Louis. I did a barbershop show and I was doing okay, but I wasn't rocking it for real. And it was a lady in there that was at this like TV dinner tray table standing up, so she had like a couple of two-liter solders and some Sir Rock and some NSE or something. She was the bartender or whatever. And this back when Snapchat was really popular. I hear her on her phone. I say hey, are you on Snapchat?

Speaker 1:

She say no this a laugh track. I'm giving you some laughs. I said wait. She saying no, I'm giving you some laughs because they won't laugh. So I'm just saying I'm looking it up. You want to get nothing? Oh my damn.

Speaker 3:

Uh, I, I, I understand. You just give us a story, but, like for you, just explain bombing, explain how it made you feel I used to really get mad about bombing.

Speaker 1:

I mean, I still do, but if I'm bombing now, if I'm not doing well, I'll just get to just doing new stuff like new material, and still staying on stage Like I've never left the stage. I remember I did a show at the Stardome in Birmingham and I wasn't doing well and I just started doing all new stuff, but the new stuff was going over. That's the crazy part. I was doing my set all before then it was, it wasn't really going. Then I just started doing my new stuff and it was going. I just really just put myself out there Like if it's really not going well, okay, well, we're just going to have to see what happens. I'm going to definitely, you know, make you second guess, like, okay, am I supposed to be doing this? Because they just hurt my feelings.

Speaker 3:

You know, yeah, but you just keep going, going from bombing over to the complete opposite side. Try to explain just the feeling of killing a room for me as a performer. You know, when you get up there, everything is energy for me anyway, in life and on stage.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

I usually have this feeling within the room Okay, I feel like people are digging this or people are in it. But then, when you're killing, there's this elevated confidence where, for me, I'm just like oh man, there's nothing I can't do. Up here, I can, I can say anything, I can do anything, and it's going to land.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

And it's just a thrill that people are supportive, people care, people enjoy you, for you. What do you feel when you get that killing moment? How does it help, or how does it if it hurts? What does it do to affect your comedy?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, the feeling when you actually are killing a room is a great feeling. Once again for me. I think about these are jokes that I thought about out of my head and I'm able to relate to people in some way, or they able to see the humor in something that I also saw here. It makes me feel great killing the room, especially when it's a situation where it's like, okay, I have to do. Well, there's certain people in here, you know I need to make an impression that also.

Speaker 1:

that feels great too. What is your favorite room to play? I like the Allentown privates. I just like the way it's, the layout is and stuff. The DC County Law is where I just was at. Max is going to be there May 31st and June 1st this year. If y'all listen to that, if y'all in DC and know anybody, let them know. Some keys, camera keys, is going to be in town. Helium in St Louis, like Oakland, like Pleasanton, california, like the Tommy Tees there. I'm like Denver Improv. I'm like really I love them really Everywhere I've been that. Cleveland Improv is nice. Toledo Improv, or I like Detroit. It's an old bunch of cities. I'm probably forgetting something, honestly.

Speaker 3:

I've always loved working with comedians. I love the process. Just talking to a comic about how they write and how they think about the world is just so dope For my cabaret. I love to have comics open for me. I believe Cam's first set in front of our family. He opened for me at one of my shows back in St Louis. Actually, from that moment to now he has been on the grind. He has played all over the country. He has opened for Cedric the Entertainer. He's opened for Ali Sadiq.

Speaker 3:

I'm so proud of Cam. He inspires me so much and I'm so happy he is chasing his dreams. Every time I see him post about a show I can't even explain how I feel. I love to see family making moves. I love you, cam, and keep on shining. Fam, of course you're my little cousin, yeah, but I wanna hear from your own words how you felt your upbringing pushed you to where you are now Growing up in the group with me. You, chris, ryan, lil' John, ashley, tamara all of us like did that help you wanna become a comic or was it just comedy just came to you and you just so happened to be in our family?

Speaker 1:

Us growing up watching Shepard Show, watching them living cutlery runs, watching different comedy specials and stuff like that. I think that definitely helped. But then I also spent a lot of time at Butch's house and Butch introduced me to a lot of standup comedy, richard Pryor Show, flip Wilson introduced me to a lot of older comics, and also in school I kind of developed this thing of making people laugh. But I wasn't like a class clown though, but I was just more so like just say things, and I got in trouble a lot Just talking in class. But yeah, I think the upbringing definitely helped me become a comedian. I was able to look at those influences and say, okay, well, maybe I should have tried. Oh, and then also so, in addition to our family watching Shepard Show and all of that, growing up, my dad would always say that he had like comedian friends like he'll say that all the time Like cause, you know, I was interested in standup and just comedy in general. The two friends were Senator and the tanner and this guy, jj Williamson, and when I first started doing standup, my dad told JJ that I was gonna be doing standup until you know, look out for me as far as like, just give me, you know, some tips or anything. He said he would. And then my dad ended up passing away.

Speaker 1:

Jj ended up coming to St Louis a couple of times to do the comedy club and I did a couple of guest spots for him and I was able to meet him and he was cool and he came two years in a row. After the second year he came, he asked if I wanted to do some shows with him later on in November in Florida and I was like, yeah, him yeah. So he said, man, it's not gonna be any money, but you know it'll be a good experience. I wasn't even thinking about money at all, I was just happy to go. Really, and both of my parents are funny too. I think really my mom is one of the funniest people I know, like she was safe, funny stuff, but then she also just do funny stuff and but then also my dad growing up was funny. So I think comedy is important to each of us. So I think that definitely helped shape me.

Speaker 3:

So, with Aunt Carmen being your mother, I'm sure there's a lot of influence from her as well, and just from my visual on the outside looking in, she's extremely supportive.

Speaker 3:

She'll be at any show she can be, She'll come from St Louis down here to Atlanta to support you, which is so dope, and we have a family like that my mother's like that too, with my shows and everything I do, so it's really interesting. The one thing I always notice you don't really you don't say a lot about your mother in the set that I've seen. Maybe you've added more, have you? Do you have any jokes that you wrote about Carmen, or are you just avoiding that topic all together?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, no, I got some stuff about her coming up. I've written a few things Like I have a couple of jokes where I have her in them and I try to do her, do her voice and stuff. But I've got some stuff coming though.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I always feel like Aunt Carmen does a great job of looking out for you and we all know that Aunt Carmen and Big John, they were incredible athletes. So the idea that their kids they spawn. You know all performers, all of us are performers. I'm the singer and the host, you're the comedian, ashley's the rapper Like it's just incredible to see what came of those two incredible people, and especially in your scenario, like I said, aunt Carmen makes me laugh too. So it's funny to see that you actually started to pursue comedy with someone like her. And, of course, I just know it's special for you to have your mother on board with you. So many people can be doing this thing and their folks can look at them like why would you do that? But you got someone that doesn't do that.

Speaker 3:

She actually gives you a really genuine Effort to make sure you're happy with what you're doing.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, she's super supportive. You know it's been times where she's helped me. You know, get tickets if I needed to, or just make sure I'm good, like if I go to Dallas she'll come, if I go to Memphis she'll come. Of course you're gonna be there saying Lewis, he's super supportive. I love her, love her.

Speaker 2:

This girl of my job on life, when I really the girl so it's a satchel to display at work. I want the idol like is when people call up work and when they return to work they're building to tell you why they was off work Because the reason most inside never really make too much sense if you listen hard enough.

Speaker 2:

This girl told me the other day, camera, the reason why I have to call off yesterday it's because my kids mama was in the hospital and I had to go visit. So what she said, you heard me right my kids mama's in the hospital had to go visit. It was an emergency. I Said your kids mama, they think you yeah the nerve to keep the line, go and dumb off some gas, but she was very ill. Shut your ass up. If that's the case, tell our supervisor, I'm your doctor. Then, bitch.

Speaker 3:

That's my god cam. I've always loved hearing them doing this stuff and you can check them out for more information on his Instagram at underscore C A M E R O N K E Y S Instagram, and you can follow me for more information on my music. Of course, at down, the more calm where you can get anything and Everything down, the more I, of course, sing and host shows, but I've never tried comedy like I tried. I've never went to a comedy club or an open mic and been like I here's my five minutes. I've never done that Because it's an art that I appreciate and I understand just how difficult it is.

Speaker 3:

So what I do, my performance, is I might throw some jokes in here and there, but that's the format that I feel more comfortable Doing it in. I like to get up there and sing and then crack a joke here and there yeah, but then keep it moving. Maybe one day I might do an open mic I'm not sure yet, but what? That being said, a lot of my inspirations as a performer are Indeed comedians, though. Even though I'm not a comic, I still look up to our senior hall. I still look up to Dave Chappelle, jim Carrey, loves, love, all of them, so many people, who are some of your comedian inspirations.

Speaker 1:

But you just said some of them. Like Chappelle, I love Jim Carrey movies. Grew up watching Robin Williams movies, grow Watchin more. And Lawrence, like blue streak, is hilarious. Yeah, I grew up watching Chris Tucker movies. Yeah, I just seen a clip from Russia. I would ever so hilarious. I'm like, okay, I need to watch this tonight. Man, it's too many comics to just say one person.

Speaker 3:

I know, if you just sitting at the house and you just want to zone out and watch something, what would be the stand-up routine or the special you would?

Speaker 1:

turn on Patrice O'Neill elephant in a room. That's a good one. You know I might, cuz it's just a Knock out the park, like you can tell, he was just so prepared. Yeah, he wasn't in there. Pity pad, you know. Yeah, he was getting to it. Yeah, you know a special that I watched recently that was dope Zainab Johnson. Yes, our special called his jobs off. You could tell she was so ready for, like, she wasn't up there playing this high noose, she was comfortable when she started Giving like the backstory on bits in the moment she was talking about her hair was and she noticed that. She know that people know this ball I bought. She went into that whole thing like I was like, oh no, she's up here having fun and she's hella comfortable, like that was dope you know, my favorite Comedian right now is Ali Sadiq.

Speaker 3:

Oh yeah, I will only. His last Stand up special was just so impressive. He gets up there and he keeps you focused on him the entire time. But then also I mean, this is the only time I think I've ever seen this in a stand-up special. The dude already know you about this breaks down yes, in the middle, oh my goodness, in the middle of the special breaks down crying and then he wins the audience back. He comes right back. It's like it never happened, almost where it was, like he did it just so that he can make you laugh about it afterwards. It was incredible work and he just continues to impress me more and more with his style and the things that he's doing yeah, that's a downwind, all I think you know.

Speaker 1:

He just shot three and four mm-hmm. Yeah, so I'm looking forward to those. He's on a run right now. It's great to see he was the first person I work with, really, yeah, it was the first person I did a weekend with in 2016 that's dope.

Speaker 3:

Shout out to Ali Sadiq any projects that you have dreamed up, that you're really hoping to make.

Speaker 1:

I'm writing a couple shows that I plan on getting pitched. I've got a couple contacts, so I'm hoping to get some things in the works with that. I want to be able to have my own show on on the air and you see that, created by and written by credit, I feel really good about it. I just got to put in the work.

Speaker 3:

See what happened one of my favorite things that I heard from Eddie Murphy. I believe he was the one that gave this advice. He was talking to another comedian about just writing everything. It's like you're a comedian, you have these ideas and you already are doing this with your stand up. So, with these ideas, just continue to expand on them and you can create stories. And if you write it down, you put it down. You never know where it can go. Next thing you know you could be doing shows, you could be doing movies. Just stay active, stay working that muscle, continue to push yourself into different directions and you never know what happened. So I believe in you. I believe everything you're going to do is going to happen. You just got to keep on grinding and I know that you're going to grind. You, thank. You are so good at networking, you're so good at working with people and that's so important. The only thing you got to work on is your CP time, because you are just like your mama, where you will be late or you will have problems.

Speaker 1:

Oh my god, man, I did pretty good today, so that did pretty good right you did good today.

Speaker 3:

You did good today, for sure, we've made it to the end of the show. Cam, I appreciate you taking the time out being here with me today.

Speaker 1:

Thank you nah, thank you of course, of course.

Speaker 3:

At the end of every show I do the same thing always say we got through everything we want to speak about. All I want to know now is how do you feel?

Speaker 1:

I'm starting to feel better about things. As you know, like I said, I lost my job last year so I wasn't in space where it's like dang, like I was kind of feeling bad about what's going on. But now it's like I'm able to have certain opportunities, like I was able to go to LA in November to do the serious XM show and stuff if I would have had a job, I would have had to figure out if I could even go and take off and all of that.

Speaker 1:

But it's like, hey, man, it's just time to get it in. I'm starting to realize like it's just let me just use this time where I don't have a job and stuff been kind of working out. That's kind of making me feel better about the overall picture. You know I eventually, you know I'm gonna get a job again like that. But I feel like something maybe you know is happening for a reason right now. I got this time off but let's try to actually make something happen with it. You know, feel good.
