What I have learnt in seventeen years in comedy
In todays episode, we speak to former amateur bodybuilder and seventeen year veteran of the scene, Sandra Risser. She is smart, funny and older than Twinkies. She’s eccentric not crazy, drives in the fast lane and can still bench press 500 grams. She believes in the tooth fairy, Santa Claus and clean underwear.Through self deprecating stories and one-liners, Sandra builds a bond with the audience.
She entertains them with stories about her misspent youth, young adult antics and middle aged adventures. As she relates tales about her ex-husband and life from an “older woman’s” perspective, she’s quick to point out “I’m not old. I’m used!”, When she performs, audiences know they are hearing a unique comedic talent. Someone they will return to see again and again.
It is great episode, where we find out the joys of starting comedy late in life, UK and US comedy festivals, the second best thing to laughs, how comedy has changed and how to turn joke thievery into a positive. Here is what we cover in the episode:
