Jaz Zepatos is featured on this week's episode of Nicstalgia. We talk about being funny, not caring about what people think, and getting used to feeling stupid. (Or in the words of the inimitable Weird Al, “Dare To Be Stupid”.) You will come to discover in this episode that both crying in public and falling down a flight of stairs are essentially rites of passage living in New York City.
We discuss Jaz’s experience with improv, making music, being a former child actor, and how to dismiss the limiting tropes and stereotypical boxes that female-identifying comedians are put in so you can be be the funny, smart, sexy, and [whatever you want] person to desire to be.
We realize just how many similarities there are between Mean Girls and Never Been Kissed, My So Called Life, and well, kinda everything that came before it. We also play a game where Jaz composes songs about our favorite movies! Am I the next Princess of Genovia? Who's to say. Shout out to (probably) listeners of the podcast, Weird Al, Dua Lipa, and Evan Rachel Wood.
