Keeping Up With the Comedy: Stand-Up as a Senior. Part 2 with Susan Rice

In part two of my chat with comedian Susan Rice, Susan talks about how comedy writing changes over time, and how if you want a steady career, you gotta keep up. Do you lean into your age, your appearance and your life experience? Or do you try and sweep that under the rug? Not to mention your gender, and putting that together with everything else.Self-esteem plays a crucial role in performance, and there are few things more raw than stand-up comedy. Which is probably why so many people are fascinated by it.Susan shares some great personal anecdotes too on the absurdities of life and the unique situations she has encountered as a performer.We'll be back with the final of our holidays bonus series with Susan Rice next week!⁠Remember you can watch Susan's act on YouTube, in examples like this: We All Become our Parents | Susan Rice | Stand Up Comedy SpecialAnd visit her YouTube channel for more great clips and videos:⁠Funny Old Bag, Susan Rice (YouTube channel)⁠---Reach out to the show by visiting our website,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠weareoldpodcast.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and remember, ⁠⁠⁠you can watch the unedited video versions of the podcast on YouTube.⁠
