Christina Vasili: Breaching Grief + Listening to Your Gut

This week, I’m joined by Denver comedian and producer Christina Vasili (@heystinahey), host of Death Comedy Jam at The Brutal Poodle. We talk about starting stand-up later than planned, navigating rooms full of dude comedians, and the quiet labor of recalibrating a space while hosting. Christina opens up about grief, losing her dad, gym community, and the struggle and reward of continuing to show up. Also: gut health, poop shaped like letters, and the long art of punching a joke up until it refuses to stop getting laughs.
