Description

What’s it really like to live out of your car, travel the country, and make people laugh in the wildest places on Earth? This week, I’m joined by Trish Smart, a fearless stand-up comedian, Kill Tony alum, and comedy show producer who’s built a career outside the usual club scene.

We talk about:
🚐 Life as a traveling comedian and finding gigs on the road
🔥 Producing stand-up shows at Burning Man (yes, in the middle of the desert)
🎤 Her experience performing on Kill Tony and what it taught her about comedy
🎟️ How to promote your own shows and survive in stand-up without waiting for someone to “discover” you
