Taking Creative Risks with AGT Comedian Alex Hooper

Hello Dahhhhling with Erin Darling

Comedian Alex Hooper took the America's Got Talent stage by storm in a onesie and a fur coat. We discuss what it was like filming America's Got Talent in a pandemic, finding your voice, pivoting in unpredictable times, and taking risks on stage as a comic (like roasting the judges on national TV) and not being afraid to truly be yourself in this world, especially if it's different than everybody else.

TOPICS INCLUDE:

• Finding his voice as comic
• Embracing fun flamboyant costumes and a unique on stage persona
• How to handle haters
• Clapping back at trolls with positivity
• How he came up with the roast book idea for AGT
