Monica Nevi is an ex-collegiate basketball player turned nationally touring comedian. Monica opened for comedians like Michael Ian Black, Ari Shaffir, Sarah Colonna and Nick Swardson among many other impressive names and has performed in the Bridgetown Comedy Festival, 208 Comedy Festival, Limestone Comedy Festival, Bumbershoot Music and Arts Festival and the Seattle International Comedy Competition. She also has a new album "Mostly Finger Guns" available now for pre-order and releasing 10/30! Monica drops by to talk with Stephen about: -How Monica got into comedy after getting injured playing college basketball. -Her growth after doing comedy for 10 years and how jokes require training from a writing and performance perspective. -The inspirational origin of her Huglife podcast where she and co-host Mike Coletta put a more positive spin on the world. -Monica’s brilliant mini docuseries 80-for-80 where she interviews the elderly (and the reason she started it).  Then the two hobble into some advice, including how to get a sleepy dog off of your chest, how to react when friends don't reciprocate gift-giving, and so much more.
