spiritual attitude real
I feel like women are frequently seen as guests in the comedy world - you know, a kid sister of the “real comedians”. I like the idea of positioning myself as legendary rather than trying to fit in. Now do I see myself like that every day? No, but I think it's a funny attitude and maybe on some weird, spiritual level, maybe it's a good attitude.
mom song encouragement
I only do private room karaoke where its just me and one of my closest girlfriends. My mom always said I could really belt songs out, and the Dixie Chicks feed that encouragement.
mom years parent
My parents divorced when I was one year old so I don't really remember any of the details, but luckily my mom does so she's been really helpful.
jobs people comedian
Its really irritating. Even people who like my work sometimes come up to me and say, I usually dont like female comedians, but your material is great! It makes the job prospect more daunting. Funny is funny, you know?
interesting nervous sometimes
Sometimes when Im nervous, thats when the most interesting things happen.
maps
Why are old maps always burnt?
relationship love-you writing
If you text 'I love you' and the person writes back an emoji - no matter what that emoji is, they don't love you back.
thinking people guy
Do you guys think its worse to wear a fedora or kill 15 people?
direct
I think that with podcasts, a lot of things are about fostering and having a direct connection with the community.
actual attacked bear imagine living nature obsessed possible
I'm obsessed with nature and living in the wild, which I just think is crazy. Imagine if a bear attacked you! That's an actual possible way you could die.
comic coming ground men performed pulling relief trying workers
I performed after 9/11 for relief workers down by Ground Zero. There were these men just coming back, and they were voraciously hungry. They were heroes, pulling rubble, and I was a new comic trying to go blue just so I could get some laughs.
belt chicks closest dixie feed karaoke mom private room songs
I only do private room karaoke where it's just me and one of my closest girlfriends. My mom always said I could really belt songs out, and the Dixie Chicks feed that encouragement.
absent generic life number people white
'Chels-emojis' are in the works. I use emojis heavily in life, and I think a lot of people do. There are a number that are frustratingly absent - you know how there's kind of a generic white man and a generic white woman? I just want to put a generic black man and a generic black woman.
barely flip work
I barely watch TV. Somehow, I make it work with just the Internet. On TV, there's always so much crap, and you have to flip around.
