We had the good fortune of connecting with Tommy Lucero and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Tommy, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Being able to produce shows and do comedy wasn’t an easy road for me. I had to overcome alcoholism and personal struggles to be able to do what I do now. I’ve been fortunate to learn not only about myself but people in general and I couldn’t be more grateful for that opportunity. Most people don’t get the chance to not only meet many of their heroes, but also become the person they feel they were meant to be. I just want people to know that anything can be accomplished as long as you focus, work hard, and never give up on yourself.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Some spots around town I enjoy spending time and working on my craft are places like Mic Drop Comedy Club, Lamplighter in Mission Hills, and Main Tap Tavern in El Cajon. In two of these businesses I go to work on material and in one I do a monthly show at. The staff at all three of these venues are not only incredibly professional but some of the most personable people I’ve had the pleasure of working with.
