I had the pleasure of watching an amazing production of The Engine of Our Disruption, done a year ago at Central Works. Pat Milton, the playwright (Episode 270) is our guest host and the star of that production is our next guest, Chelsea Bearce. Chelsea and Pat has collaborated several other times and Chelsea just did a stint at the Flash Comedy Show last night in Hayward. Chelsea talks about acting and comedy career, where she started and where she’s headed.
You can learn more about Chelsea via her webpage: http://www.chelseabearce.com
Chelsea can be reached directly via Instagram: @chocnilla
We also want to thank Charles Blades Barbershop for sponsoring The Yay! Charles Blades Barbershop is located at 180 Second Street in downtown Oakland.
