Ep. 38 - Getting An STD Ft. Jasmyn Carter
from You Can't Laugh At That Hosted by David Horning
It can either take a simple antibiotic or it can be a life-changing diagnosis, regardless, if it happens to people, we're going to find the funny in it. Joining the podcast to do that is the very funny Jasmyn Carter, an L.A.-based comic from Cleveland who is more than willing to share her experience getting chlamydia. No one wants an STD, and being honest about personal stories is not only a way to build connection with people who may be going through a similar experience, but it can help us cope with our own circumstances too. In this episode we talk about: -Jasmyn's first time doing comedy. -The story behind Jasmyn's experience with chlamydia. -Honesty and the courage it takes to share that with audiences onstage. -The subjectivity of art. -Telling STD jokes at an LGBTQ+ show. -The only time Jasmyn has ever been booed. -Getting verbally sexually assaulted as an audience member by the comedians. -Ali Wong's bit on HPV. -Cooties. -Instant perspective shifts. -Writing ahead of our skill levels. -Developing the skill of "writing onstage" and improvising lines. -The body language of trusting yourself while performing. -Marc Maron's bit on being a hypochondriac. -Prostate exams. -The cliche open mic'er take on STDs. -And more!
