????️ Stand-Up Comedian Wins By Going Back to Her Theatre Roots Media
Published: 1 week ago
In this episode of the Suzi Chicago podcast, I sit down with Jamie Shriner, a brilliant musical comedian I met at a comedy club in San Diego. We dive into her fascinating journey from musical theatre student to writing and performing her own musical comedy songs. Jamie shares how the pandemic helped her find her authentic voice and why she&;s no longer trying to impress "five guys in the back" but instead creating content for her true audience.
Jamie opens up about her childhood as the class clown, her creative process for writing comedy songs, and even reveals her embarrassing "worst gig" story involving a hot-boxed 420 show and an accidentally recorded rant! We also bond over our shared Midwestern roots, our love of chocolate and sweets, and why having your own unique voice is essential in comedy.
