We first start off our conversation talking to Jasmyn about the historical background of Cleveland that many haven't been informed about, one specific piece of Cleveland's history, is how they got their nickname "The Mistake On The Lake". Jasmyn later goes on to tell us what it was like growing up in Cleveland for her as a child with her siblings. She describes her childhood to be very happy and peaceful, and her and her two brothers and one sister would go outside and play like normal kids, and the community she grew up in was very hands on. In the sense that everyone knew each other and the police knew all the kids and people in the neighborhood, and the police would even wave at the kids playing outside as they drove by. Jasmyn later goes on to tell us how things started to drastically change in Cleveland as violence and crime started to rise due to lack of opportunities and resources. We then fast forward a bit in her journey to talk about her comedy career and how that got started. Jasmyn tells us that everyone in her family is funny, and her being funny and gradually doing stand up comedy wasn't really a surprise to many people because she was naturally gifted and she came from a family full of funny people. Jasmyn let us know that in her 10 years as a professional comedian, before she moved to LA, she had accomplished a bunch of things in comedy in the Midwest early in her career. Such things as: touring and opening up for major headlining comedians, winning numerous comedy competitions, being a regular host at The Cleveland Improv and performing regularly at The Laugh Factory in Chicago. We switch gears with our conversation and after the smoke break Tun gets into a more serious conversation. Tun mentions that Jasmyn as a certain joke, in which she talks about calling the suicide hotline because she was considering killing herself. But the only problem about that joke is that it was a real life event in which Jas walked us through what happened in her life that lead up to that particular moment that changed her life forever. Like usual, our listeners are definitely in for a treat, and like alway this is one you do not want to miss! So sit back and enjoy the crazy world of The Tune’d In Podcast. Yay! Yay!
