Fly as Flux Podcast
Allison McCoin—comedian and founder of the Vice City Comedy Festival—joins Fly as Flux for an unfiltered conversation about launching Miami's largest independent comedy festival, finding her voice on stage, and building something bigger than herself. We talk about how she started comedy at Villain Theater right before the world shut down, performing her first set on Zoom during lockdown, joining displaced comedian open mics at 2 AM with comics from around the world, and the surreal transition from screens back to live audiences. Allison also breaks down what it takes to build a comedy festival from scratch: * How her background in public health led to an unexpected pivot into comedy * Landing Francisco Ramos as the headliner and what that means for Miami's comedy scene * Why year two of the Vice City Comedy Festival is bigger, bolder, and more diverse than ever 🔥 Support the Show: * Subscribe on YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@flyasfluxpodcast] * Follow on TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@flyasfluxpodcast] * Follow on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/flyasfluxpodcast] * Follow on X (Twitter) [https://www.x.com/flyasflux] * Like on Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/flyasfluxpodcast] About Fly as Flux: Hosted by comedian Malcolm McFly, Fly as Flux highlights the voices of urban comedians—uncovering raw truth and nuggets of advice for anyone starting out in stand-up.
