When it comes to contracts, bookings, travel, health and safety…comedy can be no laughing matter.  In this episode co-hosts Michele VanDusen and June Colson dive into the business of comedy. They discuss how to reach out to your target audience, website designs, thank you cards, professional attire, car and auto safety, and much much more.  Of course, Michele has her silly joke of the day, however, this time she snuck it in before June could see it coming.  You’ll also never guess which one of the ladies can’t hold in her laughter every time the phrase, “Doing your business” comes up.Email us: [email protected] Laugh Support: https://laugh-support.captivate.fmwww.facebook.com/LaughSupportPodcastwww.youtube.com/@thelaughsupportpodcast Follow June Colson:www.junebugcomedy.comwww.facebook.com/junebugcomedyon youtube @junebugcomedyFollow Michele VanDusen: ww.MicheleVanDusen.org@MichelesComedy On Facebook, Instagram & YouTube Tornado Relief Contact: www.samaritanspurse.org

It’s another fun-filled episode of the Laugh Support Podcast. Michele and June are still reeling over the excitement of their last interview with actor, director, author and coach TC Stallings. There were so many take-aways, as well as the exciting news that June will be in an upcoming film with TC.  Let’s hope she doesn’t get paid in cash though, that seems to be a sore spot for both Michele and June as they discuss how strange people can be when you pay with actual paper money. Michele gives her first impressions of the UCAC Program and she tries to help June recall an important 4-digit number. There is also some random ranting and observations that will keep you entertained, a little informed, and quite possibly absolutely perplexed.Email us: [email protected] Laugh Support:https://laugh-support.captivate.fmwww.facebook.com/LaughSupportPodcastwww.youtube.com/@thelaughsupportpodcast Follow June Colson:www.junebugcomedy.comwww.facebook.com/junebugcomedyon youtube @junebugcomedyFollow Michele VanDusen: www.MicheleVanDusen.org@MichelesComedy On Facebook, Instagram & YouTubeUncompromised Christian Actor Program: https://tcstallings.life/ucac

Total Eclipse or Total Meltdown! Who says we have to choose?  June may have stared into the sun too long because she came into this episode like her brain was on fire.  Michele “chiad” the perfect Tea combination to keep everything from getting unbe-leaf-ably out of control. However, we’ve discovered June’s new delivery style could be that of a ranting comedian.  What has her so upset that she throws an ink pen and is Michele able to calm her down with some silly sunny Mom Jokes? There is talk of funny money, going fast, and finding a way to use laughter to lift up a community and a good cause.   Email us: [email protected] Laugh Support:https://laugh-support.captivate.fmwww.facebook.com/LaughSupportPodcastwww.youtube.com/@thelaughsupportpodcast Follow June Colson:www.junebugcomedy.comwww.facebook.com/junebugcomedyon youtube @junebugcomedyFollow Michele VanDusen:www.MicheleVanDusen.org@MichelesComedy On Facebook, Instagram & YouTube Stand Up For Theatre April20th info: www.facebook.com/SandSpringsCommunityTheater Love and Laughter Benefitshow for the homeless in Boone County, In Tickets:   @loveincbc.org
