Kid Cudi has always been a man of many talents. Besides just rapping and singing, he’s dabbled in a variety of different creative mediums. Take his acting work in films like Luca Guadagnino’s film, We Are Who We Are, and the HBO cult classic show, How To Make It In America. Additionally, he’s directing his own Netflix film soon while continuously trying his hand at fashion and modeling. There’s no shortage of things that Cudi isn’t willing to try.
Now, the Cleveland crooner is trying his hand at another creative avenue: stand-up comedy. On Saturday, January 10th, Kid Cudi shared on social media that he made his debut on the comedy stage the night before in Santa Monica, California. He admitted that he had some serious nerves beforehand and felt an unparalleled high after the fact. “Sooo this happened!!! Did stand up last night for the first time and holy fuck it was ELECTRIC!!!” Cudi wrote. “Hearing people laughing their asses off and enjoying my set really touched my heart man. I was maaaaad nervous, this was another type of nervousness I hadnt felt before. The high I felt when I got off stage, never felt that before either.”
