S2E3 - NYNJ #3 - Chelsea Woodmansee

This is Week 3 of our series about "The Great Premise HUnt of 2021." All of this is based on the New Year - New Jokes Writing intensive we did earlier this year.

This week's interview with with Chelsea Woodmansee. Someone I consider one of my Comedy Sisters. She was, and really still is, the biggest star of comedy in our hometown here. Recently she moved to Chicago to persue her art.

She has always been an amazing example of the power of vunerability. So, please enjoy this interview with the amazing Chelsea Woodmansee!

The exercise for this week is all about vunerability. I want you to write down you 10 ten embarassing moments. Or your 10 fears. Honestly, do both. Then, pick one and try to write about it.

So, why? When you talk about your own embarassing moments and the audience can feel that authenticity and vunerability. Some of you might know my "becoming friends" chunk. This chunk really did come from reading a self help book from Brene Brown. She talks about mutual disclosure. People feel connected when they have shared the deep, dark, embarassing stuff. By taking the time to share some of that stuff with our audience, the audience will feel more connected to us. Let's be honest, people are more likely to laugh with (and frankly at) friends.  There is a good chance someone in the audience can relate, too. Audiences love it when they can see themselves in our material.

I am Katy Ipock, your comedy mom. Take your vitamins, take care of yourself, and don't be a dick on stage.
