Episode 39 - Emmet Claire
June 15, 2019 17:26 - 56 minutes - 57.9 MBBased out of Austin, TX, Emmet Claire got their start story-telling and doing improv, and then saw the bright, blinding light when they tried stand-up for the first time. With more than just their bodacious curls to engage a crowd, Emmet’s queer perspective welcomes a dialogue that speaks to queers and yells at straights. You can find Emmet hosting their queer comedy showcase called The Gay Agenda. The next one is 6/20 at Palomino Coffee in Austin. Follow Near and Queer to My Heart Insta...
