E282. TikTok Is Ruining Comedy - Blair Socci

Walk-Ins Welcome with Bridget Phetasy

Comedian Blair Socci sits down with Bridget and talks about the ins and outs of comedy, how people’s understanding of standup comedy is being shaped by social media, why crowdwork is causing problems, making sure not to miss the simple jokes, when you have to aggressively put yourself out there in a way that feels disgusting, what balancing comedy and being a mom looks like for Bridget, everyone being a public person these days, feeling good about what you put out into the world, and the delicate dance of talking about family members on stage. Check out Blair’s new special Live From The Big Dog.

Bridget Phetasy admires grit and authenticity. On Walk-Ins Welcome, she talks about the beautiful failures and frightening successes of her own life and the lives of her guests. She doesn’t conduct interviews—she has conversations. Conversations with real people about the real struggle and will remind you that we can laugh in pain and cry in joy but there’s no greater mistake than hiding from it all. By embracing it all, and celebrating it with the stories she’ll bring listeners, she believes that our lowest moments can be the building blocks for our eventual fulfillment.
