0:2727 secondsI am your host Ed Porter.
0:3131 secondsThis is the place for full music and culture and how they all connect.
0:3737 secondsOh, dude. I’m going to watch it now. I think it’s dope.
0:4040 secondsWelcome, welcome, welcome, welcome to another episode of the Taste Music Food podcast show. I am your host, Ed Porter,
0:4747 secondsand this is the destination for food, music, and culture, and how they all connect. Today I have a guest that I
0:5555 secondscame across on social media quite some time ago and um she I felt like I knew
1:031 minute, 3 secondsher without knowing her based on the subject matter of her comedy and I I just hit her up like yo I I I got to see
1:101 minute, 10 secondsif you would come on the show. Plus she was doing some tours and she was in the city that I recognized and that I I I used to live in and so I got her to come
1:181 minute, 18 secondshere. So, I’m going to attempt to pay her her just due with this intro here.
1:231 minute, 23 secondsHere we go. Tonight’s guest proves that comedy is different when it comes from a lived experience. She’s a comedian,
1:301 minute, 30 secondscreator, podcaster, viral storyteller, and what I like to call a professional trutht teller disguised as your funniest
1:371 minute, 37 secondshomegirl online. From Maryland roots to building a name in comedy clubs across the country, she’s created a lane that blends motherhood, millennial chaos,
1:461 minute, 46 secondsrelationships, identity, and culture into comedy that feels personal and universal all at the same time. She’s been featured on Fox’s Pictionary,
1:551 minute, 55 secondsperformed at festivals like Black Girl Giggles and Big Pine Comedy Festival, and built millions of views online by saying the things that people are scared
2:042 minutes, 4 secondsto admit out loud. But what makes her stand out isn’t just the jokes, it’s the perspective. Because underneath the humor is somebody talking about
2:122 minutes, 12 secondssurvival, reinvention, womanhood, and finding your voice after life challenges. Welcome to the Taste Music Here Food podcast show, comedian Camille Waters.
2:232 minutes, 23 secondsOkay. Bio. [laughter] Bio. Go ahead and send me that.
2:302 minutes, 30 secondsYeah. Yeah. Listen, that’s on tape now. You know, you got that wherever you need to. So, next time you walk on stage, hit that play button. You’re good. You’re good.
2:382 minutes, 38 secondsPeriod. I’m about to use that. I said, “Oh, thank you for Thank you for being here.
2:422 minutes, 42 secondsI really appreciate that is my that’s me.” Yeah. I I spend time making sure that I
2:502 minutes, 50 secondscould, you know, at least pay respects to all my guests in a way that uh is unique. So, that’s uh that was for you.
2:582 minutes, 58 secondsWell, thank you. I was good. I’m like, “Okay, look at me. [laughter] Talk about it. She cool as hell. Stop me. Look at me.
3:053 minutes, 5 secondsAbsolutely. Absolutely. So, first off, let’s just jump right in. Whiskey mom comedy. So, when I when I when I looked you up and I hit the website like, “Oh,
3:143 minutes, 14 secondsokay. Oh, I [ __ ] with this.” Yeah. So, explain explain the the concept behind Whiskey Mom Comedy and how you got into
3:223 minutes, 22 secondscomedy to begin with. What’s the what’s the origin story?
3:243 minutes, 24 secondsOkay. So, I started comedy when my daughter was six months, like brand new.
3:313 minutes, 31 secondsAnd I was working from home. I was working remotely at a job that paid the bills that I didn’t really love. Um, and I she was just looking up at me. Like,
3:403 minutes, 40 secondsI’m just looking at this baby. She’s looking at me. And I just was like, I don’t want her to think that’s what life is, you know? Like, I don’t want her to think that life is just you work a job
3:483 minutes, 48 secondsthat you don’t like forever just cuz it pays the bills. So, I was like, I need to find some sort of creative outlet.
3:553 minutes, 55 secondsAnd that’s how I I’ve always loved comedy. I’ve always only watched comedy movies. I’ve always enjoyed standup, but
4:034 minutes, 3 secondsI was always too nervous to try it. But once you have a baby, you kind of like, well, I made a person. I could do anything at this point, you know?
4:124 minutes, 12 secondsYou definitely did. You created a whole human being. So, I can [laughter] do I made a person. I could do some stand up. What you talking
4:194 minutes, 19 secondsabout? Like, what you mean? So, and then I just went to open mics. And if have you ever been to an open mic?
4:264 minutes, 26 secondsOh, tons. That’s where I that’s that’s where I go to test out my heckling skills. [laughter] That’s okay. Period. Period.
4:334 minutes, 33 secondsI’m just playing. I was like, yeah, I love open mic.
4:354 minutes, 35 secondsNo, if you go to open mic, you know, there there not a lot of pressure to do good, right?
4:424 minutes, 42 secondsBecause not a lot of people are actually doing good at open mic. And so the first like two I went to I was like, “Oh, I just got to get up there and not get any laughs. I can do that.” You know?
4:534 minutes, 53 secondsYeah. Open mics are like I like to call it like it’s like the barber school for for com for for comics. Like you go there, you get that $5 haircut. Yeah.
5:015 minutes, 1 secondThey [ __ ] your fade up. But you knew what you was coming into, you know? I’m learning, bro. Let’s be Let’s be honest.
5:085 minutes, 8 secondsAnd it’s not like there’s no requirement to be a stand-up comic. like you just
5:155 minutes, 15 secondsget up there, you know? So, I started going to open mics and then like the first I watched a few and the first one
5:245 minutes, 24 secondsI did the first time I got on stage I was like oh this is what I should be doing.
5:295 minutes, 29 secondsBut the whiskey mom comes from I needed I was like I need to get a drink before I get up here. And so I was like
5:375 minutes, 37 secondsI can me and Jack Daniels we we we real cool. We we have we get each other. So I was like, let me get this shot of Jack.
5:465 minutes, 46 secondsAnd I got my shot and they called my name right while I was getting the shot.
5:505 minutes, 50 secondsAnd so my first set, I took the shot and then I ran to the stage and I was like,
5:595 minutes, 59 secondsbut I think the the all of that made it so I was less nervous, so I could find I could get up there and do what I needed
6:066 minutes, 6 secondsto do. And it went really well. And then that was like my routine for a while. I would like get a shot, go right on stage
6:146 minutes, 14 secondsand do great. And so then I was like rest is history. So I was like whiskey mom comedy.
6:216 minutes, 21 secondsYeah. Go liver. [laughter] Right. Right.
6:256 minutes, 25 secondsThat’s so so so comedy was always in you and and basically your your your daughter helped you know push you over that cliff to go do this.
6:356 minutes, 35 secondsThat’s dope. That’s dope. Well, comedy usually can either hide pain or expose truth. Which which one do you think do you do more?
6:456 minutes, 45 secondsI think I expose truth more. I think um I try to be as much as myself. I feel
6:546 minutes, 54 secondslike I was always trying to make myself less my whole life and comedy was my first chance to really be more, explore who I
7:047 minutes, 4 secondsam. Um, so I’d say comedy is exposing the truth of who I’ve been this whole time, just not with the parameters that
7:137 minutes, 13 secondsI feel like the world tried to set on me.
7:167 minutes, 16 secondsRight. Right. At at what point did you realize that social media wasn’t just a marketing tool? It was going to be part of the art form going forward.
7:257 minutes, 25 secondsFor uh for me or for comedy?
7:287 minutes, 28 secondsFor comedy in general? I think for comedy in general, it’s it’s great in the way that it allows it kind of takes away the gatekeepers.
7:377 minutes, 37 secondsUm, you can’t really stop what the people want at this point. You know, if people want to see somebody, they can
7:457 minutes, 45 secondsfind whoever they’re looking for. So, I think that’s what helped a lot for a lot of comics to not have to go through and
7:537 minutes, 53 secondsgo through like the traditional club route or the traditional getting put on by this person to get put on by this person. Like, if you’re funny enough,
8:018 minutes, 1 secondpeople can and will find you. So, I think that’s what social media has created. Has it also created like a a shortcut for people? Kind of.
8:128 minutes, 12 secondsUm, which I’m not gonna bash because I use it for sure. [laughter] you’re not gonna hear me talking bad
8:188 minutes, 18 secondsabout it. But, um, I I understand some of the older comics, their frustration with it because it feels like they’re
8:268 minutes, 26 secondsnot getting they’re not getting the same opportunities they used to get because they’re now this whole new younger social media crop is in there.
8:348 minutes, 34 secondsYeah. Um, but so I understand the kind of good and bad of it, but I don’t feel like there’s any world where more people
8:438 minutes, 43 secondsget the opportunities to share their voice where that’s a bad thing.
8:478 minutes, 47 secondsYeah. No, I wouldn’t I would say the same, but I think, you know, before social media being a platform for for
8:548 minutes, 54 secondsall art forms, not just comedy, but you know, food as well, you didn’t see you didn’t have access to right
9:029 minutes, 2 secondscomedians like that. So, you had to go go to your go to the clubs, hit the clubs, you know, or maybe you’ll catch uh and you’ll bump it to a friend that
9:109 minutes, 10 secondswent to a club and he’ll tell you some [ __ ] up version of the joke that he heard that, you know, terrible version.
9:169 minutes, 16 secondsLike, this is a horrible game with telephone. Um, so the that was the you know the connection or you know the few
9:249 minutes, 24 secondsthat would hit the stratosphere would have the specials but outside of that you didn’t really have the contact the connection with uh your favorite comedians or to know be exposed to them.
9:339 minutes, 33 secondsSo there’s some good and bad and everything. Um I always believe though cream rises to the top. So you can have this influx of everything. The the funny
9:419 minutes, 41 secondsfunny is funny, right? And so um and the one thing about social media is that there’s you know everybody there’s a pocket for you. There is a group of
9:509 minutes, 50 secondspeople looking for what you do. You just got to find them and then continuously speak to them. So that’s that. All right. Right now we’re going to get into a little uh segment called Cold Truths.
10:0110 minutes, 1 secondSo every flavor tells a story. Every story holds a truth. This is cold truth presented by just fruit sorbet atilier.
10:0810 minutes, 8 secondsThe new standard in sorbet. Pure fruit.

10:4510 minutes, 45 secondsthrough memory, imagination, because flavor is in the mind first anyway. So, instead of tasting sorbet, we’re tasting memories, emotions, culture, and energy.
10:5610 minutes, 56 secondsSo, I’m going to ask you some questions and just shoot out the answer. All right.
11:0111 minutes, 1 secondWait, I’m not going to lie. If I knew there was free sorbet, I might have tried. [laughter] But go ahead. Go. But go ahead. Go ahead.

13:1613 minutes, 16 secondsOkay. What flavor tastes like motherhood?
13:2113 minutes, 21 secondsOh. Um, I would say lemonade.
13:3113 minutes, 31 secondsI’d say lemonade is a flavor of motherhood because it it’s life can sometimes give you lemons. It can be hard, but at the end of the day, it’s
13:3913 minutes, 39 secondsvery sweet. It’s very refreshing. It’s something that you can understand without having to
13:4613 minutes, 46 secondstaste it, you know? It’s It’s just something that’s kind of universal.
13:5013 minutes, 50 secondsGot you. And you have you have the one daughter, right? Yeah. You have plan to have more?

14:2614 minutes, 26 secondsI’m not opposed, but I’m not I’m not I’m not searching for another kid either.
14:3514 minutes, 35 secondsHeard. Okay. That was cold truth presented by Just Fruit Sorbet at where the flavors are cold but the conversations are honest. For more info, head to www.justfruit justfruits.com.
14:4514 minutes, 45 secondsOkay, my next question for you um is about music. So this whole entire platform uh taste music here food is is
14:5514 minutes, 55 secondsnot just in the literal sense but in the uh the the theoretical as well. So food is not only what you ingest for
15:0215 minutes, 2 secondsnourishment but I believe anything that you take in um and that could be people um conversation knowledge of course and
15:1015 minutes, 10 secondsmusic is nothing but vibration um and we are all a part of this uh ecosystem vibrating around like little engineers
15:1915 minutes, 19 secondsof bunnies and absorbing different energies from different sources and choosing them wisely is a thing. So, uh,
15:2615 minutes, 26 secondsmusic is and food are two of the most powerful universal languages. Everybody has come in contact with them in
15:3315 minutes, 33 secondsmultiple times a day from birth to death and everything in between. So, well, how big was music was was music a big thing in your household as a kid growing up?
15:4415 minutes, 44 secondsUh, music was definitely a big thing in my house. My dad is a huge Mottown person. My mom is of course like Anita Baker, Stevie Wonder. like music.
15:5515 minutes, 55 secondsThat’s that good cleanup music.
15:5715 minutes, 57 secondsYeah. Yeah. Yeah. That’s right. That’s good. Clean the house. I was [laughter] spotless with Anita Baker on. Yeah.
16:0316 minutes, 3 secondsUh but yeah. And then me and my brother used to always like make up songs. I always make up songs all the time. I
16:1016 minutes, 10 secondslike have to fight myself not to make up songs in the middle of situations. I’m just like,
16:1716 minutes, 17 secondsso music is something that it very much grounds me too. So,
16:2516 minutes, 25 secondsso along with that shot before you went on stage, what’s the what’s the theme song you hear in your head?
16:3016 minutes, 30 secondsUm, so it depends. Like after I after I got divorced, I’ve been on this um it’s called it’s Little Uzi Bert. Now I do what I want.
16:3916 minutes, 39 secondsYep. Yep. That checks too.
16:4116 minutes, 41 secondsRight. Right. [laughter] That’s the That’s the That’s the [ __ ] theme right there. That’s Right. Right. Right. So that that’s been
16:5016 minutes, 50 secondsmy like that. And then um also Drake has a nice for what. Yep.
16:5516 minutes, 55 secondsHas been my thing. And uh so those are kind of the two that I might listen to before I get on stage.
17:0217 minutes, 2 secondsOkay. Dope. Dope. So standup timing and cooking timing both rely on tension and
17:0917 minutes, 9 secondsrelease. And I always try to connect the the dots between the two industries or or many industries because there’s a lot of similarities.
17:1717 minutes, 17 secondsFirst off, how are your cooking skills?
17:2017 minutes, 20 secondsI’m a good cook. I’m a good cook. I have like my recipes that I make. What’s your What’s your go-to recipe?
17:2617 minutes, 26 secondsBaked chicken. I love a good baked chicken. Especially if I have the time and I can do like a whole lemon herb chicken, like a whole chicken with the
17:3417 minutes, 34 secondspotatoes and the veggies under it and just a big pan and then just eat off of that for like a week. Please, I’m good. I’m good to go.
17:4217 minutes, 42 secondsOkay. And it’s a one pot. It’s a one type thing. You know, all your veggies, one big, right? All the veggies, potatoes, nothing’s healthy anymore because it’s just running in chicken
17:5017 minutes, 50 secondsfat. But, you know, Yeah. It’s good. That’s good stuff.
17:5217 minutes, 52 secondsSpeaking of next time, next go to next time you go to San Francisco, there’s a restaurant named Zouri.
17:5817 minutes, 58 secondsIt’s a there’s a It’s a fire a woodf fired roasted chicken that’s out of bounds. You got to
18:0518 minutes, 5 secondsorder it like a day ahead, but it’s bomb. Anyway, what speak travel a lot.
18:1018 minutes, 10 secondsWhat city has surprised you the most with this food culture?
18:1618 minutes, 16 secondsUm, I mean, when we were in So, we went did shows in San Jose and we went up to San Francisco. Um, and the food was so
18:2418 minutes, 24 secondsgood. Like, we went to a bunch of My friend is very big into like Asian culture. Um, so we went to like
18:3218 minutes, 32 secondstons of games, right? And so, we ate good. I mean, good. Like, we got we went to this like
18:4018 minutes, 40 secondsone spot that was like a small plates Asian restaurant. I’m like, I can’t remember the name of it, but we had so
18:4818 minutes, 48 secondsmany different like we had just like one of everything. It was so good. Dim sum.
18:5418 minutes, 54 secondsDim sum. Dim sum with all the little little tiny uh versions of stuff. Yeah. Yeah.
18:5918 minutes, 59 secondsFood is food is good. Food is good. And I will especially Asian food. And uh but I tell you what, next time you’re in that area, if you go to Oakland, so
19:0719 minutes, 7 secondsthere’s know there’s a Chinatown in in San Francisco and one in Oakland as well. Oakland to me has the better food.
19:1519 minutes, 15 secondsOkay.
19:1619 minutes, 16 secondsChinatown just do not as not as much fanfare, but they do this. This Oakland is it.
19:2419 minutes, 24 secondsHey, I’m into it.
19:2619 minutes, 26 secondsIt’s Yeah. All right. So youent you represent a multitude of identities at once, you know, black woman, mother,
19:3319 minutes, 33 secondscomic. Do you ever feel pressure to represent them all correctly or or at different times?
19:3919 minutes, 39 secondsUh sometimes sometimes I feel like it’s a little bit sometimes I feel a little bit of pressure as a mom to be like a
19:4619 minutes, 46 secondslittle bit more responsible and then I kind of just remind myself that I am a mom, but I am also a little sister. So I let the shenanigans roll. you know, like
19:5519 minutes, 55 secondssometimes I got to just change the identity a little bit cuz like I think but that is also something that I’m actively trying to portray. I want
20:0420 minutes, 4 secondspeople to understand that moms are just people too, you know, like that’s real.
20:1020 minutes, 10 secondsWe made Yeah. So, what’ you say? It’s a very real statement.
20:1820 minutes, 18 secondsYeah. So, if you could if I get like sometimes I’ll get like 24 year old guys come up to me and be like, “Oh my gosh,
20:2620 minutes, 26 secondsI I didn’t think I would like you. Uh, but you’re really you’re actually really funny.” And was like, “Yeah, that’s why I’m here.
20:3320 minutes, 33 secondsLet’s Let’s be Let’s keep it a buck.” And then they they shooting they shot.
20:3820 minutes, 38 secondsOkay. [laughter] They’re shooting they shot.
20:4320 minutes, 43 secondsThey’re shooting shot, you know. that’s happening. You know, that’s that’s that’s it is what it is.
20:5020 minutes, 50 secondsIt is what it is.
20:5320 minutes, 53 secondsHow do you feel, and we talked about this a little bit, but in in your from your perspective as far as how um how you’re received from crowds when you
21:0121 minutes, 1 secondtravel, do you do you feel that social media has made that an easier thing to um to to be able to go to to, you know,
21:1021 minutes, 10 secondsdifferent locations and at least people are familiar with you because of social media? Do you think is it an easier thing? Do you think it’s easier today
21:1821 minutes, 18 secondsthan it has been in the last, you know, 20 to 20 to 25 years?
21:2321 minutes, 23 secondsOh, I think it’s way easier. I think it’s it’s made a big difference. Um, even not even just with the crowds, with
21:3121 minutes, 31 secondsjust kind of me understanding how people perceive me. Like, you can have your own ideas about yourself, but social media
21:3921 minutes, 39 secondswill let you know what the general public thinks about you. And then you can either stick with that and swerve into it or you can make a change. So I think social media has made that easier.
21:5021 minutes, 50 secondsAnd with like crowds, I I love when people come up to me and they’re like, “Oh my gosh, I saw you on I saw you on Instagram. I saw you on TikTok.” Like I be like, “Girl, how do you find me?
21:5921 minutes, 59 secondsWhere you where you come from?” But I think it’s I think that’s also that’s still something that I’m getting used to. Like people being like,
22:0822 minutes, 8 seconds”You haven’t had the crazy yet? You haven’t had the craziest one yet?” like two.
22:1222 minutes, 12 secondsOkay. Yeah, because it’s Yeah, I I’m the opposite. I Yeah, this [ __ ] is crazy. I had people just But so
22:2022 minutes, 20 secondsthe the problem with it is that they really think they know you.
22:2322 minutes, 23 secondsYeah. [laughter] Yeah. Like uh I don’t you know. Okay.
22:2822 minutes, 28 secondsThat’s the That’s the crazy part when people really be like talking to you like, “Oh yeah, I follow you on social
22:3722 minutes, 37 secondsmedia. Like I I I messaged you or something.” And it’s like, do you know how small that icon is? I don’t know what you look like.
22:4422 minutes, 44 secondsFacts. Yes. [laughter] What are you talking about? I’ve never seen you a day in my life. Not a day. Not a day. Not a day.
22:5222 minutes, 52 secondsThe the comedy landscape as far as how uh people are consuming comedy, I think, is has swiftly and vastly changed. So,
23:0223 minutes, 2 secondscase in point, is there a difference between cancel culture and accountability? Because I’m the people out here are very sensitive right now.
23:1023 minutes, 10 secondsSo comedy used to be the if you had the last resort of official truth tellers.
23:1523 minutes, 15 secondsLike you could say whatever you wanted to do wanted to say under the guise of comedy. Usually there’s a lot of truth under that as
23:2423 minutes, 24 secondswell. But you as you see people are getting you know asked left and right for you know something they say. How do you feel about that?
23:3323 minutes, 33 secondsI feel like cancel culture is you can’t please everybody all the time.
23:4023 minutes, 40 secondsThere’s going to be people that don’t like you. There’s going to be people that don’t like what you say. And I’m a firm believer if it’s no matter how messed up it is, if it’s funny,
23:4923 minutes, 49 secondsit’s funny, you know, but just it better be funny. It I feel like there’s a ratio to how [ __ ] up it is and how funny it
23:5623 minutes, 56 secondsis, you know? Like if you if it’s funnier more than it’s messed up, then go for it. But if it’s even it’s you’re
24:0424 minutes, 4 secondswasting your time. Like just write something else. So I I do believe there was a big time for cancel culture, but I
24:1224 minutes, 12 secondskind of don’t even feel like it’s really present with the with the way that this like sub genre of comedy is where people
24:2024 minutes, 20 secondsare just saying the most shocking things they can to get. Yeah. on purpose just to get a rise
24:2624 minutes, 26 secondsout of people. Like it’s really not as canled as it used to be. Like we’re kind of I feel like we’re kind of reaching
24:3424 minutes, 34 secondsthe end of cancel culture because there are some people that are seem to be uncancellable. Like some of the people that were cancelled are doing just fine.
24:4524 minutes, 45 secondsI mean Kendrick called Drake a pedophile at the Super Bowl and he’s doing great. He’s doing great. He’s doing fine.
24:5224 minutes, 52 secondsYeah. I Well, I mean, there’s a lot of pedophiles running around doing great, right? So, it’s [laughter] so it’s really right. That that don’t seem to stop nobody.
25:0225 minutes, 2 secondsThat hasn’t stopped a thing, you know.
25:0425 minutes, 4 secondsSo, crazy. Yeah, you’re right. What’s What’s one stereotype that you intentionally try to break every time you hit the stage?
25:1625 minutes, 16 secondsI think mostly just that moms aren’t fun. you know, like that the stereotype that like moms are these serious people
25:2525 minutes, 25 secondsthat can’t I feel like the bar is so high for a mom to like let’s just lower that bar down a little bit. Bring that
25:3325 minutes, 33 secondsbar to the bar and let’s get a shot, you know? So, I think that’s the stereotype I’m trying to break that like we’re just regular people.
25:4225 minutes, 42 secondsYeah. No, that’s a good one. And then female comedians too. So like there’s there’s there has there’s like pockets,
25:5125 minutes, 51 secondsright? So there’s there’s there’s the people group them into the the runchy female comedians.
25:5825 minutes, 58 secondsThen you have the comedians comedian, you know, and then you have, you know, the ones that have to be funny because
26:0626 minutes, 6 secondsthey, you know, not so nice to look at, right?
26:0926 minutes, 9 secondsSo [laughter] there’s these groups I didn’t make. It’s just this is just what it is. No. Fair. Fair.
26:1426 minutes, 14 secondsThis is what it is. There’s there’s so much of I think any one of those baskets though is kind of uh dehabilitating in a
26:2326 minutes, 23 secondsway because you gota like you got to be all these things to all these people. So like you know uh Nikki Glazer could
26:3126 minutes, 31 secondsnever do anything outside of what she does.
26:3426 minutes, 34 secondsLike that’s she’s a pigeon hold into runchy titty comedy. That’s that’s that’s just right.
26:4026 minutes, 40 secondsThat’s her thing. She couldn’t she can’t she can’t deviate from that. Um right. asks, “Do you feel the the need
26:4926 minutes, 49 secondsto to to to try to fit in any of these boxes?” Like, okay, one of the the reason why I asked that, I remember when
26:5626 minutes, 56 secondsliving looking at a old uh interview with Jamie Fox and he saw when he started in comedy, how he used his stage
27:0327 minutes, 3 secondsname, you know, Jaime is, you know, imbigrant, could be a woman or a male.
27:0727 minutes, 7 secondsHe used that to to get on a lot of stages before they s saw who he was because it was harder for him to get on
27:1327 minutes, 13 secondsas Eric Bishop. So, do you see or feel any of that those kinds of tensions in today’s comedy landscape?
27:2327 minutes, 23 secondsI mean, I definitely think there’s people who they I think there’s good and bad of it because there’s one there’s people who want to put you in a hole so
27:3127 minutes, 31 secondsthey can help brand you so they can put you to the right people. So, sometimes getting put into a niche where people know exactly what you are is helpful for
27:4027 minutes, 40 secondslike branding. Um, but then on the other side for me, I started to get out of of
27:4727 minutes, 47 secondsa of a cycle that I felt like I was being put into. So, I started comedy to be more of myself. So, I try to
27:5627 minutes, 56 secondsnot put myself in any one arena. Like, I I mean, I I do clean comedy. I do dirty comedy. I’ve done roast comedy. Like, I
28:0528 minutes, 5 secondscan do I can do a set in a church. I can do a set in a roast. like I don’t I don’t want to be put into one demographic um other than funny.
28:1728 minutes, 17 secondsYeah.
28:1728 minutes, 17 secondsSo, um and but there there is there is a there is a like a benefit to being put into one demographic, you know, cuz like
28:2728 minutes, 27 secondseven though I can do clean and I can do dirty, there’s a certain I can only post so dirty on my page before I lose the
28:3528 minutes, 35 secondswhole clean audience, you know? So, I I’m very cognizant of like the persona that I put on social media because even
28:4428 minutes, 44 secondsthough I may not be if you come see my show, it’s not it may not be what you see online, you know,
28:5228 minutes, 52 secondsbut if if I know I’m in the arena of if I I know if I’m going to a church or if I’m going to a a professional function,
28:5928 minutes, 59 secondsI know how to be professional because I was in I worked a corporate job for 10 years. So, I kind of know how to
29:0629 minutes, 6 secondsnavigate between I know how to comedy code switch, you know.
29:1029 minutes, 10 secondsYeah. And you got to do that. Let’s let’s let’s tap on some of the accomplishments because I don’t think enough people take the time to celebrate
29:1729 minutes, 17 secondsthe small wins or any win in, you know, in general. So, as we spoke about, you’re touring comedy clubs nationally,
29:2529 minutes, 25 secondsdoing shows all over the place, viral comedy clips suppressing millions of views. That’s why that’s how I found you. Um,
29:3329 minutes, 33 secondsyeah. featured on Fox’s Pictionary, which you won. Okay. Which you which you won, and you took that cruise, you know.
29:4029 minutes, 40 secondsUm, co-host of Thick at Night. Love the title. It was so fun.
29:4729 minutes, 47 secondsAnd festival appearances, including Big Pine Comedy Festival and Black Girl Giggles. At at one point, which one of any of the recognitions that you’ve
29:5529 minutes, 55 secondsgotten thus far have meant the most to you emotionally, not professionally?
30:0130 minutes, 1 secondOh. Um, emotionally, I think the the viral videos probably
30:1030 minutes, 10 secondshave the most emotional impact on me only because it’s I’ve always talked too much and
30:1930 minutes, 19 secondsI’ve always like made my friends laugh with the things that I’ve said. But like see making like my first video that went
30:2830 minutes, 28 secondsfor real viral had like 5.7 million views and I made that on my couch on the
30:3530 minutes, 35 secondsway to a birthday party and just kind of like said something into my phone and like to have 5.7 million people view
30:4430 minutes, 44 secondsthat and like laugh about it. And like that was the first time I saw my face being reposted on people’s stories back
30:5130 minutes, 51 secondstoback which was kind of like Yeah. Surreal. Yeah. Surreal.
30:5530 minutes, 55 secondsSo surreal. And like having people from like my friends that are comics be like
31:0231 minutes, 2 secondsmy cousin hosted you on their story in Dallas. Like what is happening? And I was also like same what is happening?
31:1331 minutes, 13 secondsSo, I think that was that first video and then like most of the comments on that video were positive and people
31:2131 minutes, 21 secondsreminiscing about their childhood and like the things they ate growing up and stuff like that and it just felt like such a positive community and like where
31:2931 minutes, 29 secondsI found a niche that fit me that wasn’t too much of one thing. Um, so that that
31:3731 minutes, 37 secondsmeant a a ton to me. But and then Black Girl Giggles was the first festival that I applied to and got into. So that would
31:4531 minutes, 45 secondsbe like a close second because it was also it was in New Orleans. I love New Orleans. Bad like love New Orleans. And
31:5331 minutes, 53 secondsthe festival was just all black women, all black women comics. I started comedy in San Diego. There’s not a lot of black
32:0132 minutes, 1 secondpeople in San Diego. And there’s definitely not a lot of black comics.
32:0532 minutes, 5 secondsAnd then there’s not a lot of black women comics. it was like of us at the time that I started. So, um, being surrounded by black women comics and all
32:1532 minutes, 15 secondsof us enjoying each other and having such different material and sets, like
32:2132 minutes, 21 secondsno shade to white men comics, but if you see 10 white men comics, you’re probably going to hear
32:2932 minutes, 29 secondsabout six different sets. you know, there’s not too much variation sometimes, but it was like 20 black
32:3732 minutes, 37 secondswomen comics and each set was a totally different life experience and I still and I made some really good
32:4432 minutes, 44 secondsfriends at that festival that are still like some of my best friends in comedy.
32:4932 minutes, 49 secondsSo, very cool. Do do female comics enjoy the road as much as men do?
32:5732 minutes, 57 secondsI do, but I’m still I’m just getting on the road, so everything is new to me.
33:0133 minutes, 1 secondEvery time I go to a new city, I’m like, Vermont, I’m going crazy. But you know, you know, there’s some stories
33:0933 minutes, 9 secondsout there that you know these these Yeah. You know that’s but I don’t know pay sometimes you know
33:1933 minutes, 19 secondsfemale comics I I not a lot of female comics I know do they enjoy the because we don’t get hit on after shows like
33:2633 minutes, 26 secondsthat and like even no but also if I get hit on after a show it’s just like okay thank you
33:3433 minutes, 34 secondsI’m not I’m not going home with anybody from a show you know like what are we talking about like sir I just met you
33:4233 minutes, 42 secondsLike absolutely not. But I know male comics be getting like groupies after the show and I’d be like I would think I would think it would be the same. It’s not the same.
33:5133 minutes, 51 secondsNo, they just run up to you like Oh, not at all.
33:5833 minutes, 58 secondsOkay. I I Okay. Worst bomb as a pro. Everybody has it.
34:0734 minutes, 7 secondsListen, [clears throat] comedy and bombing is like riding a motorcycle and falling. Like every there’s two types of those who have fallen and those who
34:1434 minutes, 14 secondswill. So there’s got to be a story where [ __ ] went left.
34:1934 minutes, 19 secondsBomb bombs for sure happened. Bombs are for sure for sure happened. Uh worst
34:2834 minutes, 28 secondsbomb. I don’t know. I try to black them out but [laughter] be like that never happened. That that did not ever happen. No.
34:3934 minutes, 39 secondsUh, [groaning] I would say worst bomb.
34:5134 minutes, 51 secondsI mean, I’mma get a little one. I’mma get at least a little one. I’m [laughter] not going to run through the whole set and not get a chuckle. Ain’t
34:5834 minutes, 58 secondsnot going to get a chuckle. But I mean I’m definitely I definitely count my had to when I first right after I got
35:0535 minutes, 5 secondsdivorced I I had to change my whole set because I got divorced I got separated after I started comedy and so I got
35:1335 minutes, 13 secondsseparated moved to LA and most of my set was like how it felt to be a wife and a
35:2135 minutes, 21 secondsmom and I was no longer really a wife at that point. So, I kind of had to change my set and refigure my set and like
35:3035 minutes, 30 secondsfigure out who I was as a comic. So, there was like three months where I was like really struggling to refine my
35:3735 minutes, 37 secondsidentity. Um, so when I first moved to LA, there was a few of the sets were rough. Like that that did not go well
35:4735 minutes, 47 secondsbecause you comedy is such a truthtelling experience. If you don’t know your truth,
35:5335 minutes, 53 secondsyou’re lost. Yeah. So, uh I think just just that time period in between like in
36:0136 minutes, 1 secondbetween until I found my stride in being like focusing more on like who I am and less of like who I am defined by the
36:1036 minutes, 10 secondspeople around me. That was a big thing for me. Uh but one one set in particular, I did this show. Um it’s
36:1936 minutes, 19 secondscalled Ladies Love Comedy. It was and I was following I was new to LA. I was following my friends. They they produce
36:2636 minutes, 26 secondsa great show and it just did not I mean nothing was clicking and I was just like
36:3436 minutes, 34 secondsI only got I only got seven minutes up here. It’s been two and I am It was like an hour. Yeah. Yeah.
36:4036 minutes, 40 secondsOh yeah. I will say I will say watching watching somebody bomb on stage for me as who’s been on stage as a performer
36:4936 minutes, 49 secondslike I not doing comedy though but that is the most
36:5736 minutes, 57 secondsyou don’t want to I I got to watch it but it’s oh my goodness I feel so bad like this is the longest and silence is
37:0537 minutes, 5 secondsoh my goodness silence is crazy honestly I would rather Oh, can you see me? Can you hear me?
37:1437 minutes, 14 secondsYep.
37:1537 minutes, 15 secondsI would rather I bomb than having to watch somebody I know bomb. Those are the worst bombs.
37:2237 minutes, 22 secondsLike when you’re when you see your friend bomb, you’re just like, “Oh, help.
37:2837 minutes, 28 secondsJust out. Just pass out.” [laughter] Like I’m about to pull the fire alarm
37:3437 minutes, 34 secondslike my [ __ ] Oh no, my girl. I gotta get her off because this is terrible.
37:4137 minutes, 41 secondsThose are those are worse for me. Just to watch your friends bomb is the worst.
37:4537 minutes, 45 secondsI’m sure of it. I’m sure this this is something that would help um upand cominging or people that are just
37:5137 minutes, 51 secondsentering the the space. How do you how do you turn views into ticket sales? Because there’s a
38:0038 minutesdifference between having millions of views and then getting them to convert over to people that are willing to pay
38:0838 minutes, 8 secondsto see you. How what are the metrics? What are you what are you doing to assure or to to help
38:1538 minutes, 15 secondsaid that? Because it I think it’s a different trend. Why I can just watch you on my phone and just get all the funny right here. Why do I want to come and see you?
38:2438 minutes, 24 secondsRight. I think that’s the that’s the big thing. I think that’s the thing that everybody’s trying to figure out. It’s
38:3138 minutes, 31 secondsit’s like the more people are attached to you as a person, not just as your comedy, the better chance they’ll have
38:3838 minutes, 38 secondsto come see you. So, it’s like building those connections that it can’t just be comedy clips. You have to be a real
38:4538 minutes, 45 secondsperson to these people for them to come and see you. Um, building familiarity, building an audience that really loves
38:5538 minutes, 55 secondsyou as a person and not just as a comic is the best way to get them to switch from views to ticket sales because there’s there are comics that have a lot of followers that can’t sell out shows.
39:0639 minutes, 6 secondsAnd it’s it’s confusing to everybody like why why isn’t this working? It’s because they have to feel connected and
39:1439 minutes, 14 secondsactually want to support you. And you have to find ways to sneak in those posts. Like I I’m I’m not ashamed, but I DM people when I’m coming to their city.
39:2539 minutes, 25 secondsIf I find out you’re in my city, I’ll be like, “Guess what? I’m going to be in your area. Like come holler at your girl.” You know? So, I think I’m still trying to figure that out all the way.
39:3639 minutes, 36 secondsBut mostly the people that show up to my show be like, “Oh my gosh, I just love you.” And that’s kind of what I see.
39:4339 minutes, 43 secondsYeah. No, that’s and that’s where being authentic is is is paramount doing that.
39:4839 minutes, 48 secondsDo you think that female comedians actually have to be funnier than the male counterparts to get the same respect?
40:0040 minutesI think so. Sometimes. Sometimes because I I think it just depends
40:0840 minutes, 8 secondsmaybe just more consistently funny. I think that’s my my thing is I’m trying like I’m trying to work on my
40:1640 minutes, 16 secondsperformance and presentation and I’m in the gym and I’m trying to do all the things to make sure that my my persona
40:2440 minutes, 24 secondslooks the best that it can. But when I get on that stage, I want to be undeniable, you know, like cuz as a as a
40:3240 minutes, 32 secondsfemale comedian, there are going to be people that don’t think women are funnier like, “Oh, you only have followers because you look this way or
40:4040 minutes, 40 secondsyou oh, you only get booked because so and so is it likes you or is like looks likes looking at you or blah blah blah.”
40:4740 minutes, 47 secondsYeah, you can say whatever you want, but when I get on that stage and the audience erupts and I get consistent laughs throughout the whole set, you
40:5540 minutes, 55 secondskind of you can’t really argue with performance. Funny is funny.
41:0041 minutesAnd it it don’t does not hurt to be easy on the eyes.
41:0341 minutes, 3 secondsSo, we going we gonna use it all. It goes the same. It goes the same.
41:0741 minutes, 7 secondsExactly. There’s some, you know, for every Jeff Ross, there’s a there’s a handsome guy, you know, [laughter] right
41:1441 minutes, 14 secondsout there. All right. What? We talked about this a little bit, but now I’m gonna put you on the spot with it. What is the funniest message a dude or woman,
41:2241 minutes, 22 secondsyou know, this is today, has slid into your DMs with trying to shoot this shot? You can’t tell me it hasn’t a lie.
41:2941 minutes, 29 secondsI I do not enjoy people [laughter] DMing me. I don’t I don’t enjoy people.
41:3941 minutes, 39 secondsNo, it happens. For sure. It happens for sure. And it’s like I mean I and sometimes I get like people who are just trying to like neg me into a
41:4841 minutes, 48 secondsconversation like you look like I’ I’ve had a guy he was like you look like the type of girl who only who thinks her
41:5541 minutes, 55 seconds[ __ ] doesn’t think and she thinks that she’s this or she thinks she’s that and blah blah and he went on for like a paragraph and then at the end was like
42:0442 minutes, 4 secondsbut you need to take let me take you out to dinner so I can show you what I was just like it’s the it’s the old hitter with the dodgeball try to Right. And it’s like
42:1342 minutes, 13 secondsand I’m I’m the thing is about me. I love myself. So if you’re going to be mean to me, that’s not going to work.
42:2142 minutes, 21 secondsI’m not a person that you can n because I thoroughly enjoy my own self. So, I think that’s uh that’s the thing that I
42:2942 minutes, 29 secondshate is like don’t don’t also like I I I like when people come in if you
42:3742 minutes, 37 secondscome in my DMs and you compliment my comedy first, you have a better chance of me responding. But if if it’s just like like, oh man, let me see the body.
42:4842 minutes, 48 secondsLet me let me get to it. Let do a spin for the do a spin for your boy. Absolutely not.
42:5542 minutes, 55 secondsAbsolutely not. But you come in and you be like, “I thought that was really funny. I liked your clip.” I’ll probably be like, “All right, thank you. I
43:0343 minutes, 3 secondsappreciate you.” And then until you go out of pocket and then it’s like, “All right, you got to play the long game.” So it’s about it’s about four weeks of
43:1043 minutes, 10 secondscompliments and then literally I’m like a I’m I’m like a deer. You gota you got to you got to
43:1743 minutes, 17 secondsspook me. You got to [laughter] We’re just We’re friendly. We’re friendly.
43:2443 minutes, 24 secondsAbsolutely. I I just always I know I know it’s it could be crazy. I I know what it’s like on my side. So, uh I can Oh, how what what’s the craziest thing
43:3243 minutes, 32 secondsto say to you, man? You listen. It’s there’s here’s the thing. Women, especially
43:4143 minutes, 41 secondspretty women, are not used to being told no.
43:4743 minutes, 47 secondsSo, the average dude, even a handsome dude, has heard has been rejected. But just keep it a buck, you know. There’s not this most men ain’t turning a lot.
43:5743 minutes, 57 secondsMost men have zero morals and we’ll [ __ ] a tree. So, so, right,
44:0444 minutes, 4 secondsyou know, but women are not used to that. They they take that as a personal challenge. Like, oh, no, you gonna take this. You you gonna get something. Like,
44:1244 minutes, 12 secondswait, wait a minute. And it’s [laughter] it becomes it’s like this weird [ __ ] thing. I’m like I yeah I don’t
44:2044 minutes, 20 secondsit’s women are out there because yeah I [clears throat] can’t imagine they’re not used to because again they’re not used to rejection in any
44:2944 minutes, 29 secondssort of way even if it’s not you know it’s a it’s a it’s a respectful thing like again I have five
44:3544 minutes, 35 secondslike but yeah then I y’all not used to hearing no or or or
44:4344 minutes, 43 secondsanything beyond what they are looking for looking to hear so [ __ ] can get a little sticky.
44:4944 minutes, 49 secondsSo, they get a little sticky.
44:5244 minutes, 52 secondsThey get a little sticky in my DMs. It’s wild in there. It’s crazy, man. It’s It’s It’s crazy out there. All right. So, we’re going to go
45:0045 minutesinto the lightning round. This is where I’m going to ask you some questions and you’re going to shoot the first
45:0945 minutes, 9 secondsanswer that pops in your head. There’s no wrong way to do it. Got it? You ready?
45:1545 minutes, 15 secondsYes. [laughter] All right. One got to go forever. Brunch, tacos, wings, or seafood boils?
