Paul Elia has proven that great things will come to those who wait. The comedian has spent years in stand-up honing his craft, and doing everything he could to finally get to this place. He could’ve gotten here sooner – in regards to taping his first special – but he wanted to make sure that hour was perfected first. After all, you only get one first special.
That determination paid off big time. In Elia’s debut special, Detroit Player, we see him at the top of his game. It’s a true examination into what waiting for that right moment can look like. From his family to his terrifying experience of performing in Dubai, Elia’s talent as a storyteller gets to shine in this special.
We recently talked to Paul about taping the special in Detroit, his loyalty with whom he works with, how his family reacts to his stand-up, and more.
