For the first time in close to a year, we didn't feel jaded with a sentient object book, and it brought us back to our roots of questioning what in the smut? While...

Kay shares her thoughts on gentle parenting vs very underpaid retail workers. Both Elle and Kay fully hated the FMC's ex-husband, which we suppose is the point of it all, but didn't need to be quite as descriptive in many cases. As usual, Kay's search history got some questionable exercise, but the mind...

Comedy Mom S2E17 - Thinking Past The 5When you start your stand up journey it can feel like a real uphill battle to fill a full 5 minutes with original material. So, how do you think past the 5 minutes and focus on developing longer sets? When you are doing open mics look beyond five minutes and "workout" with the goal of putting bigger sets together. 1. Write Often 2. Thing about bigger themes. 3. Expand what you have 4. Don't get stuck working on 5 minutes at a time

Comedy Mom S2E16 - New Stage FrightWe all know about stage fright. But, there is a type of stage fright no one really talks about. That's "New Stage Fright." I see it a lot, and I will admit I have a touch of it myself. It's that feeling of anxiety you get when you are performing in a new venue. So, what do we do about New Stage Fright? How do we combat this sneaky bitch?

Comedy Mom S2E15 - The Most Important Part Of Writing JokesIs to make time to write them. - John Vorhaus I applaud anyone who can follow the Jerry Seinfeld strategy of writing jokes every day. Gene Perret, who's books are my writing bibles, also touts the importance of writing a daily quota. I absolutely recommend this... but I definitely don't do it. I can't manage to sit down and write every day. So, my advice is to write every week.

Comedy Mom E30 - Toxic Booking StylesI am spilling some Tea, and I have no doubt some people are going to be pissed. If you working a small scene like I do, you will probably recognize one of these toxic booking styles. Hell, I have recognized myself in a couple of them. You don't control how bookers make decisions as a comic. You are stuck having to work with people like this. So, I break down what I think the common toxic booking styles are and good strategies to get passed by them if you don't have a choice. (Or, they wo...

Comedy Mom E29 - Open Mic is Supposed To SuckI was talking to a couple comics from the scene recently. They felt like they had to "perfect" at open mic. There seems to be this idea that open mics are like mini showcases and you have to have to have a perfectly polished five minutes. This is completely, and utterly, false. Disagree with me? @me about it. So, I rant about why for 25 minutes. There is only one part of your "Open Mic Trajectory" that you should feel pressure whatsoever when performing at an open mic. Listen to find out when that is...

Comedy Mom E24 - The Competitive Nature of Comedy is BullshitIt is competition season for my comedy scene, which always flares up everyone's competitive nature. Here's the thing: The idea that Stand Up Comedy is somehow a competitive thing, is absolutely bullshit. You aren't competing against your fellow comics. You are only competing against yourself. You are competing against your last set, your own work ethic, and your own fears. Be resilient. I also go on a rant about comedy competitions, and tell the hard truth about them. As a producer of a competition, I understand their true nature and purpose. Other producers are going to hate m...

I said it. It's so easy in a small scene to feel like a big deal. Comics with big heads and big egos make big mistakes. Bookers don't need you. You are replaceable. So, don't lose your hustle. Still go to open mics. Still write. Still work on getting better. Being a big fish in a small pond won't really open doors for you in the next big scene. But...

Comedy Mom E17 - What To Do When You Aren't Getting BookedI honestly thought about calling this episode "Why All Bookers Are Assholes." Don't even stress about whether you are getting booked if you are less than two years in. Some Bookers have rules about "time served." It won't matter how well you land with an audience at an open mic. Your stats could be amazing and they still won't book you until you have a couple years under your belt. Especially in bigger cities. I refer you to previous episodes: E2 - Basic Rules of Stand Up Comedy E3 - What t...

In the end, as comics, the trajectory of our career is dependent on the decisions of others. Avoid making goals that depend on someone else's permission or approval. Focus what you can control.

Comedy Mom E13 - Why Open Mics Are ImportantIt's easy to start dismissing open mics when you start getting "paid gigs." Some people see open mics as only auditions for bookers.

Comedy Mom E11 - Why You Should Record Every SetWhen sports teams want to get better the coach sits them down and makes them watch game footage. Watching yourself play is the best way to see what your doing and where you can improve. Comedy is exactly the same way. The best way to see where you can get better as a performer is to watch (or listen) to your sets. Truly and honestly analyzing your sets will help you grow your talent and skills. Seriously. Record every set.

You are probably an open micer if you are listening to this, so definitely get into these habits now. "Practice How You Play" is great advice for sports teams, but also great advice for comedy.
