Guitar-strumming comic Nick Thune didn’t start off in show business as a funnyman. “I was a musician first,” he says, “and I wanted to be in band really bad, but I just couldn’t take myself seriously enough to do that.” The band he was playing in did what he describes as ridiculous covers. He then started performing between sets, and developed a following. That following, however, wasn’t massive, and many folks didn’t get what he was doing. “I was bombing so bad in Seattle,” he says, “I decided to move to L.A .so I could perform for people I didn’t know. There’s that grace period in stand-up where you figure out what your comedy is, and how you’re going to communicate that to a large audience. It takes a lot of trial and error. That was easier in front of people I didn’t know.” He doesn’t always use his guitar though, and wants to be as strong without it as he is with it. “It varies,” he says. “I'd say about 75/25 but I do use a guitar for the majority of the time when I'm headlining a club.” Nick Thune perfroms at Go Bananas November 5-7.
