"Not every joke will land, and that's okay." Amanda Cohen Talks About Life in Comedy, Part 2
More of our behind the scenes look on what it's like to be a working comedian, and from the female perspective to boot.Amanda discusses the writing process, some of the unique and sticky situations she's found herself in, and the importance of understanding audience dynamics. No two audiences are the same, which logically means that a joke that doesn't work one night could knock 'em out the next. We learn about some pre-show rituals, and why it's important to understand comedy history and assumptions if you really want to grow and thrive. Fascinating stuff! And this is only part 2! We'll have our final part with Amanda for you right here, next week, before we launch into our next slate of full episodes later in January.Check out Amanda's Set at the Copa Santa Barbara:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4WR-ly5RBw---Reach out to the show by visiting our website,weareoldpodcast.comand remember, you can watch the unedited video versions of the podcast on YouTube.
