Welcome to Whiskey Ginger a Wave series presented by Fanduel. Andrew Santino sits down with comedian Rene Vaca to talk about coming up fast in comedy, navigating the internet spotlight, and what it actually takes to turn viral attention into real stand-up chops. Rene gets into the pressure of being “next up,” learning on the fly, and why the stage will always humble you no matter how many views you rack up online. They get into bombing, confidence, the weird expectations that come with early success, and why staying sharp matters more than chasing hype. It’s honest, funny, and exactly what you want from a young comic figuring it out in real time.
