E191. Brittany Schmitt Believes Comedy Is Tragedy Plus Time

Comedian Brittany Schmitt returns for a talk with Bridget about her new comedy special, From Ho To Housewife, what it actually takes to produce a comedy special, why being an artist means having to let go of the results, and how stand-up is essentially a solitary activity - it's just you and a mic, you don't need anyone's permission to do it. They also cover the letdown that can occur after completeing such a huge project and long-term goal, being selective about the opportunities that come your way because time is finite, her experience with Ayahuasca and what it revealed to her, their odd psychic abilites, how no amount of money is ever enough, why she tells everyone she loves them, and the idea of going to small claims court for a fart in a jar.

Beyond Parody with Bridget Phetasy
Walk-Ins Welcome with Bridget Phetasy
Bridget Phetasy admires grit and authenticity. On Walk-Ins Welcome, she talks about the beautiful failures and frightening successes of her own life and the lives of her guests. She doesn’t conduct interviews—she has conversations. Conversations with real people about the real struggle and will remind you that we can laugh in pain and cry in joy but there’s no greater mistake than hiding from it all. By embracing it all, and celebrating it with the stories she’ll bring listeners, she believes that our lowest moments can be the building blocks for our eventual fulfillment.
