Comedy Journey with Lena Stone (The Snack Bitch) Media

In today&;s episode, I chat with the hilarious Lena Stone, a San Diego-based comedian who calls herself "the snack bitch" because she&;s always handing out snacks to her kids! We dive into her fascinating journey into comedy, starting from her elementary school days when she held comedy shows on the playground until a yard duty lady threatened to suspend her for "inciting a riot" - a comedy riot!

Lena shares how she rediscovered her comedy passion years later, her approach to writing, and the comics who inspire her. We also discuss our shared experiences as comedians - from dealing with stage fright to navigating comedy clubs and open mics around San Diego. Plus, don&;t miss our conversation about how we both approach material about our spouses and families!
