When resilience meets humor, you find a comedian with stories that rival any daredevil's saga, and that's what you get as Amber, Richard Asperger, and I, Gill, unpack the laughs and the struggles in our latest episode. From the vibrancy of open mic nights to the anticipation of live podcast events, we reveal the raw and often unseen facets of the comedy world. The buzz from our YouTube showcased podcast has us itching to share the behind-the-scenes magic, and the inclusive vibes of our Los Angeles comedy hub where every performer's voice finds a mic.
Laughs may come easy on stage, but this conversation isn't shy about the tough crowds and tougher battles. I peel back the curtain on my journey through cancer, not once but thrice, and how each comeback fueled my stand-up with a deeper grit. Richard and I also reminisce about the evolving cityscape of Los Angeles, bringing you tales from the comedy trenches that include the legendary Ice House and its storied transition from music to mirth, and my own pivot from spinning records to penning a book offering a lifeline to the homeless.
We're wrapping things up with a heartfelt nod to Richard Asperger for his wit and wisdom, and a spotlight on the laughter-laden gatherings on the horizon for our local comedy community. With open mics and interviews set to light up Paramount, we're inviting you to join the camaraderie, share a chuckle, and maybe find that golden thread connecting comedy, history, and the indomitable human spirit. So pull up a chair, plug in your headphones, and get ready for a ride through the highs, the lows, and the stand-up blow-by-blows.
