NYC Comedian and Tonight Show writer Chloe Radcliffe proves you CAN laugh at your own insecurities by saying the thing that's on everyone's mind, but is being left unsaid as a way to release the tension.

The birthmark on Chloe's face is an obvious distinguishing feature, so she has multiple hilarious bits about the awkward way she dealt with it as a kid, the things she can't do because of it, and why she knows what it's like to be a supermodel.

We also talk about:

-How stand-up experience could help improv, rather than the other way around.

-Chloe’s history in speech and debate impacting her stand-up.

-Addressing her birthmark at the beginning of a set and if it’s starting to get tiresome.

-Getting catcalled.

-Chloe’s bit about the naïve way she countered being called “a freak” as a kid.

-Being a specific brand of nerd in high school.

-Getting a laugh on a joke that isn’t done yet.

-The inauthenticity of manufacturing body language and intonation onstage.

-Dealing with being so recognizable because of a distinguishable facial feature.

-Chloe’s perfect response to trolling comments on TikTok.

-The mean comments that DO get to Chloe.

-Why people are mean on the internet.

-Releasing the tension by saying the thing that is unsaid.

-The phoniness of false confidence.
