Summary

Comedian Blair Socci sits down with Bridget and talks about the ins and outs of comedy, how people’s understanding of standup comedy is being shaped by social media, why crowdwork is causing problems, making sure not to miss the simple jokes, when you have to aggressively put yourself out there in a way that feels disgusting, what balancing comedy and being a mom looks like for Bridget, everyone being a public person these days, respecting the hustle, feeling good about what you put out into the world, and the delicate dance of talking about family members on stage. Check out Blair’s new special Live From The Big Dog.   Sponsor Links: - Shopify - https://bit.ly/shopify-wiw - Your Welcome podcast - https://bit.ly/WiW-YourWelcome - PlutoTV - https://bit.ly/WiWPlutoTV
