E191. Brittany Schmitt Believes Comedy Is Tragedy Plus Time

Comedian Brittany Schmitt returns for a talk with Bridget about her new comedy special, From Ho To Housewife, what it actually takes to produce a comedy special, why being an artist means having to let go of the results, and how stand-up is essentially a solitary activity - it's just you and a mic, you don't need anyone's permission to do it. They also cover the letdown that can occur after completeing such a huge project and long-term goal, being selective about the opportunities that come your way because time is finite, her experience with Ayahuasca and what it revealed to her, their odd psychic abilites, how no amount of money is ever enough, why she tells everyone she loves them, and the idea of going to small claims court for a fart in a jar.
