As you may know, our Executive Producer Rory Petzer lives and loves all things funny. 

This past weekend, he hosted his first #FactAndFunny comedy show, and it was something that he always wanted to do for the longest of time. He and three other comedians had the audience laughing along at the event.

This project has been three years in the making, but due to the fear that crippled him, Rory put the project on the backburner and postponed it. 

Eventually, everything fell into place, and the show was obviously a smashing success. 

He shared his story with the Drive team, and also told of the various fears that he has faced: 

  • Fear that nobody would come
  • Fear that I would let the venue and my comedians down
  • Fear of doing my own show and putting it together
  • Fear that I would lose money that I don’t have
  • Fear that it would fall flat 


He had to conquer his fear in order for him to take the plunge and pursue his dreams. This prompted a conversation around the fears that prevent people from living their best life. 

If it was not for fear, where would you be now or what would you be doing?
