Timmy part-owned a Chicago comedy club that unfortunately burned to the ground. With depression spiraling out of control, a series of awful events leaves Timmy divorced, jobless, and homeless, during the painful Chicago winter of the 2020 Covid Pandemic. By some miracle, Timmy finds his way to Las Vegas &#8212; of all places &#8212; to turn his life around. In this conversation, Timmy shares his turnaround story of triumph against all odds, and how he reinvented himself, right here in Las Vegas.<br>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br>Episode Time Stamps:<br>0:35 &#8211; Timmy&#8217;s Intro<br>3:00 &#8211; Stand Up Comedy In Chicago<br>6:48 &#8211; Downward Spiral<br>7:53 &#8211; The Dark Side Of Comedy<br>9:30 &#8211; Comedy Club Burns To The Ground<br>12:08 &#8211; Comedy Business Hard Lessons<br>15:26 &#8211; Beginning Of The End<br>17:20 &#8211; Comedians&#8217; Addictive Personalities<br>19:15 &#8211; When Life Knocks You Down Further<br>24:30 &#8211; The Darkest Depression<br>30:05 &#8211; Leaving For Vegas<br>33:35 &#8211; Teeth Knocked Out<br>35:50 &#8211; Vegas Turnaround<br>38:20 &#8211; IUOE Local 12 Union Vegas<br>43:20 &#8211; Do You Miss Comedy?<br>46:01 &#8211; Las Vegas City Of Second Chances<br>50:15 &#8211; Vegas Resort Style Living<br>53:20 &#8211; Get Back Into Comedy?<br>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br>Apple Podcasts:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/vegas-faces\/id1676881525\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/vegas-faces\/id1676881525<\/a><br>Spotify Podcasts:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/1JQHzDhxTih1b8wpZHHDkN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/1JQHzDhxTih1b8wpZHHDkN<\/a><br>YouTube:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCEgUhWKUF0f6p7xsp54qopQ\/?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCEgUhWKUF0f6p7xsp54qopQ\/?sub_confirmation=1<\/a><br>Website:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/thevegasfaces.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/TheVegasFaces.com<\/a><br>Email:&nbsp;<br>TheVegasFaces@gmail.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br>Created By:<br>David Gavri &amp; Mary Gavri<br>Las Vegas \u00a9 2023<br>Gavri Group Real Estate | Realty One Group Summerlin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Episode 19, David catches up with Timmy, an old friend from his days of doing stand up comedy in Chicago.
