Today, we’re cracking up with Whitney Chitwood!

Her delivery onstage seems quite effortless and off-the-cuff, but much in the vein of influential performers like Robin Williams, many of the punchlines you’ll hear are meticulously crafted. The trick is that each bit is modular, and their placement within any given set can be improvised, while the punchlines remain largely the same. This style of comedy is quite difficult to master, and requires extreme skill in joke crafting.

We discuss growing up with musical theater, how to take on a heckler, the worst first open mic story ever told, and more!
