Today we’d like to introduce you to Alex Soto.
Hi Alex, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
The birth of Alex Soto Comedy started 6 years ago, while working in a middle-class management position in a giant retail business, I started longing for more freedom & personal direction in my life. Taking a GIANT leap of faith, I left corporate America & started a chauffeur business & in the evenings started doing stand-up comedy. Though I’m new to comedy, I am a 3rd-degree black belt in business & sales.
So I started my 1st comedy show 5+ years ago that fast forward to today is now 10 shows/month throughout Central FL, where we present the best comedians in the country. My latest room, the Winey Wench Comedy Show inside the Seminole Towne Center Mall in Sanford, FL is my latest endeavor, once again bringing the best talent at truly 1 of the most beautiful n unique venues in the world!
This show is every 1st & 3rd Sunday at 4 PM & it is fastly growing to be a premier event in Seminole County. My social media & local fan base combine to enjoy some pristine comedic talent, incredible drink prices & set in a Beetlejuice themed theater, makes for an incredible experience that’s over by 6 PM on a Sunday evening with plenty of time to get home to rest before work or on to your next adventure!
Entertaining & being creative are key factors in my stability & mental health. At Alex Soto Comedy, our motto is “Healing the world with LAUGHTER!” In these times especially, it’s vitally important! WE’RE OUT HERE!
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
Struggles are a part of life & I don’t want to make light of them, but obstacles, to me, are opportunities to make moves. Besides venues changing, conflicts between personalities, staffing issues & the world are on fire with Covid.
we continue to grow & people continue to laugh! The most important thing I try to focus on is the feel of the laughter from the audience & the look of appreciation in their eyes from truly needing the experience of rib hurting hilarity.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
As a human, I learned to be professional, punctual, driven with serious attention to detail between immigrant parents & high-intensity careers my ability to work hard has always been in my bones. As an artist, I learned the therapy, to others & myself, of reducing stress, feeling joy, & for a short while, helping others forget about the things that keep them up at night with stress n possible sadness.
I’m proud that Alex Soto Comedy has risen above Alex Soto the manager, the employee, the guy who blended in & disappeared among everyone else. The thing, I hope, that separates me from the rest is that I’m a dealer of silly, happy & fun.
Will serve you the humor in the light or in the dark… out front or behind the dumpster Brigid the building I take this mission of spreading this message of healing very seriously. It’s paramount, I believe, to the healing of this world. It’s an old adage, LAUGHTER is the BEST medicine!
Alright, so to wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
I think inside each of us there’s a person, who, as a child, wanted & dreamed of being an actor, an astronaut, a comedian, & life took away those dreams & replaced them with life, hard & cold & every once in a while they wonder if this is all that there is going to be & stuff stacks on top of stuff & we go in debt chasing something that because of the circumstances you don’t even have time to enjoy & 1 day you look up from your giant high definition TV.
With nothing to watch & wonder if this is all that life is… & I hope every once in a while, someone gets up & wonders are this all I have to look forward to? Then you go out & try an open mic, tell a joke, get a laugh & possibly find something meaningful & a direction is made & 1 day, you perform at the Winey Wench Comedy Show in Sanford for a guy who once had that exact “aha” moment six years ago & that sets in motion the REST of that person’s life. Respect and namaste.
