Life As A Stand-Up Comic: Sallie Smith-Fitch talks about the comedy scene in NYC

I’ve lived in New York City for a dozen years of my life, and one of the best things about that is crossing paths with so many different kinds of striving, determined people going after their dreams. When I first moved here, I literally had nothing except the clothes on my back but I knew I had the drive to get me to where I want to go. I crashed on couches and found a way to get in front of the right people at the right time to end up being able to actually live here, which was a dream come true.So on today’s show, I’m going to have a conversation with my friend Sallie who I met years ago when we both worked at the same place. I was on a break from my modeling career where I picked up a job working in a coffee shop where Sallie showed me how to steam milk and make the perfect cappuccino. When I started working there I looked up her Instagram before I actually knew her, and saw she does all these stand-up comedy shows around the city. Which is a pretty crazy side hustle. So today we are gonna talk about the stand-up scene as well as just what motivates us to go after our dreams.
