Standing Up
The Journey to Becoming a Stand-Up Comedian Happens With The Help and Support of a Great New Community.
This week's Standing Up guests are Kyriaki Chonacas and Brittany Raper.
This multi-part episode series traces our origins and evolution into stand-up comedians. If you didn't already know, I decided to become a stand-up comic. So, I'm taking a class and going to open mic nights.
The class has been terrific! And my wonderful classmates have agreed to share their stories too! We are chronicling our journey and the excitement, fear, and sheer creativity it takes to get up on stage and inspire people to laugh with stories from your soul.
If you have ever wanted to get up on stage for any reason, these multi-talented people will inspire you with their ideas, energy, and heart.
