Put your hands together from my buddy, Angela Johnson!

Alright so the way this works people have written in question specifically to you and I specifically to you and I have called the best ones I have ignored the weird sexual ones, no she and I will not make out! And even if we did you wouldn't see it because it's like us. So we're just gonna get into it and you're gonna get your answers because I find you to be you're very centered. Thank you. You're very positive. Thank you. And you're very nice.

And some of your comedy, you know, like you kind of, you know, like little tough, some of the jokes. But I, you see right through me, you're just adorable to me and you were one of the first women I will never forget this, we knew each other. You and I were new phases together in Montreal.

There's like a like 2009, 2008, 2008 and you, Angela Johnson, you were made famous from your Bunk Week We nail sketch and then you run mad TV and then you've had this huge career, this girl, like selling out theaters before any of us had a career. This is like always what I say. And if you go on our Instagram, it's like, oh I'm doing 52 shows in Braya and 50. And you're so sweet and so delightful and like you had a house before any comic I knew had a house. So much money.

Thank you. Yes. And you I will never forget this. I was in I think like Detroit somewhere random and you I think texted me or on some social media and you were like, hey, I'm in the same neighborhood. You were probably playing like a stadium and I was at like the laugh hole.

No, I was at a theater. Yes, but it was probably like Detroit is not one of my best markets. So it's probably like capacity, maybe 1200 and probably 800 paid in the restaurant like bogos or something.

I was listening to a radio station we got in and you this is about maybe three years ago. Yeah. And you sent me a message. You were like, Hey, I'm in the same. I want to come by I want to come by your show and say hi.

And it had never nobody had ever reached out to me before no woman in comedy had ever reached out and you were you were around the same age. Like we're both like cute girls. We both who stand up. But we don't.

It was I was like, Oh, okay, I didn't know women could be like that. And you did and I was like so open to it. You were so delightful and we became friends. Yeah. And it's because you were cool to me.

Well, thank you. That's I mean, we knew each other, but like we don't I yeah, we've known each other for a long time. But one.

I don't have a lot of comic friends because I'm always on the road and I I don't hang out at the club. And I've always said that about you that I admire. No, we're just going to give compliments to each other for the rest of the world.

Yeah. I would always say that I admired how you go up at the clubs around town and go on the road and you're fearless. And I even I remember calling you being like, can I just go with you because I'm too scared to go to the the comedy store by myself.

I would get in my feelings, get like anxiety and then forget it. I'm not going. But anyways, so I remember purposely reaching out to you like even what you're talking about. I didn't know girls could be like that. I remember purposely saying I want Eliza to know that I support her. I am for her. And I'm on your team.

And you've probably done that with other women because you're really big into like putting positive things out there getting them back like I follow you. I stalk you a little bit on Instagram because Angela travels well.

Like she brings a crew. They have matching shirts. They go to fun restaurants. Like it's a thing. And it's actually influenced the way I travel because I'm like,

wrap myself in pajamas. Someone got me to the airport. I don't know where everything is. And you like take the time. And in the last couple years, I've like, I'm like, no, I can wear a cute shirt and go to the fun coffee shop. I don't have to sleep hard and just get up for the show. So you're very tasteful and lovely travel.

Question from Lillani Collins says, do you ever feel pressure to compete against others as female comedians, which is a term we don't love? Or is it some sort of camaraderie because you face the same difficulties?

Now, you don't have to answer that in the context of you and I. It could just be what I'm right. I do not feel pressure of any kind to compete. However, I would be lying if I said the comparison disease does not hit.

Because I think that's for anybody, whether you're in comedy or whether you're a stay at home mom, you start scrolling through Instagram. And that comparison game starts to like trickle into your mind of like, but look at how this mom does her snacks for her kids. And it's like Pinterest. And I don't know how to do all of that. So it could be whether you're a stay at home mom or even us as comedians.

Like, oh, look at Angela. She's selling out this big huge theater, whatever. And you know, little do people know that if I go to this market, it's not even going to be like that, which is why I don't go to that market. You know, right.
