Hot Breath! (Learn Comedy from the Pros)

In last week’s pod you heard CJ Landry  get real real…for real…about sleeping on floors, living in Air BnBs, and stealing food from DoorDash all to survive while chasing his comedy dreams.  Well I say all that to say we’re now building on this comedy sacrifice theme with  this week’s guest Amy Shanker.  She was an award winning teacher that quit her job for comedy. You’ll hear...

CJ Landry is the definition of "all-in" on this comedy game and has sacrificed everything to make his comedy dreams come true. That is through living out of Air BnBs to stealing form Doordash and much more we get into this episode. You will never look at the comedy grind the same again after this interview. Listen and share!
