#11: Simon Huebner | From Asperger’s to Authenticity | Turning Schoolyard Comebacks Into Comedy Gold

Comedian Simon Huebner shares how he transformed his Asperger's diagnosis into comedy gold through developing quick comebacks, studying other comedians, and taking action before feeling ready. He reveals the mindset practices and habits that helped him overcome social anxiety and build authentic confidence on and off stage.

• Started comedy through YouTube algorithms that led him down a rabbit hole of stand-up performances
• Discovered using humor as a defense mechanism reduced bullying in school
• Focuses on authenticity in his comedy while playing with story details for maximum impact
• Practices one bit at a time to refine his craft and builds confidence through consistent performance
• Hosts a regular comedy show at Beer Growler in Brookhaven on second and fourth Mondays
• Manages negative self-talk by breaking challenges into small, manageable steps
• Uses the personal mantra that everyone is "in God's image" to overcome social anxiety
• Believes "no one remembers your screw-ups" which helps him take more risks on stage
• Found confidence through action rather than waiting to feel completely ready
• Recommends reading widely across different subjects to expand comedic material
