Rising Stars: Meet David Hardy of Van Nuys

Today we’d like to introduce you to David Hardy.

Hi David, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I started to fall in love with performing when I was in high school. With my first performance as Snoopy in “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown”. From that performance on, I have always wanted to continue to be on stage or in front of the camera for the rest of my life. I still have that feeling every time I have the opportunity to show that part of me, it’s one of the greatest feelings in the world and that’s to perform.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
No it hasn’t been a smooth road… Remember 2020? JK. But seriously no and I do not think anything worth wild is supposed to be smooth,(Even though I wish it would be) Shoot it ain’t smooth currently, but it’s part of the journey and I am learning how to embrace it with a positive attitude. I am just glad that I am even on the journey to be honest.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I am a man that loves to make people laugh, think and have a good time. I have been doing improv since I was 13 years old and I also am a stand up comedian as well. I am very proud of how I make people feel during my act or even when I perform. I just want people to feel better after they see me.

Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
The only advice I can give is to be open to new opportunities. (Again something I am currently understanding)
