Suzi Chicago's Podcast | Episode 18: Making Your Own Room at 70 with Jesse Egan Media

In today&;s episode, I&;m sitting down with my comedy teacher, coach, and special director Jesse Egan for the final stretch before we tape on February 19th at Film Hub in Vista.We dive into the "daily dose of strange" that keeps me going, from the two life-sized plastic skeletons I&;ve hauled across the globe to my days at Second City in the 80s when I was the only person in the building not doing cocaine. We&;re also talking about the "Fine Art Model" of comedy, treating a year of stand-up like a gallery show, and why I&;m bringing in a professional film crew from New Mexico to make this special worth the price of admission.
