#217 Crowd Work at Open Mics
from Two Stand-Up Gals · host Erica Spera and Teresa DeGaetano
E & T are back this week talking about how crowd work has taken over comedy, if you should practice crowd work at open mics, and reminiscing about the days they were open mic hustlers to the point of running their own. The gals also discuss a woman who married an AI chatbot, the viral "Is it embarrassing to have a boyfriend?" article, and how society reinforces that relationship milestones are an "accomplishment".
