Today I make the case that artists have a lot in common with stand-up comedians. Comics give excellent pep talks and advice to each other about staying the creative course and weathering career setbacks and I think we can benefit from eavesdropping on some of their road-honed wisdom.
Comedians quoted in the episode: Justine Marino, Caitlin Peluffo, Dan Bubitz/Art of Bombing Podcast, Janeane Garofalo, Maria Bamford, Todd Barry, Emma Tattenbaum-Fine, Paul F. Tompkins, Kyle Kinane, Beth Lapides, Joel Byars/Hot Breath Podcast, Johnny Carson,
Amy's fave comedians: Maria Bamford, Paul F Tompkins, Catherine Cohen, Todd Barry, Tig Notaro, Mae Martin, Jes Tom, Calvin Cato, Eman El-Husseini, Oscar Aydin, Hayden Johnson, Jaboukie Young-White
