Caitlin Austin’s Life Sounds Made Up… But It’s Somehow Real | If This Doesn’t Work…

from If This Doesn’t Work… · host Justin Anderson

Baltimore-area comedian Caitlin Austin joins If This Doesn’t Work… for one of the strangest, funniest, and weirdly heartfelt episodes we’ve done yet.Caitlin talks about growing up around Dundalk chaos, being raised by her grandmother, having a real-life “prison papa,” becoming a pre-K teacher, getting sober, starting stand-up comedy, living in her car while still going to open mics, smoking Newport 100s, calling the cops on herself, and somehow turning all of it into comedy.This episode goes from completely unhinged to genuinely inspiring about every five minutes.Follow Caitlin Austin:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/caitlinisacutie?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==Follow the Podcast:📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ifthisdoesntworkpodcast?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==🎵 TikTok Main: https://www.tiktok.com/@thejustintimee?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc🎵 TikTok Clips: https://www.tiktok.com/@itdw_clips?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcNew episodes every week.
