Comedy Cast

Today you'll be hearing from an American stand-up comedian Liysa Callsen. Liysa and I had a great chat about all things comedy. First we spoke about why she got into comedy and why, in some of her YouTube videos, you'll hear her saying "Improv saved her life." So we had a chat about changing direction in life at a time when most people are settled and finding true happiness through comedy. We talked too about Liysa's comedy coming from a very personal place, rather than ganging up on easy targets she believes in being truthful with the audience. We spoke about her influences growing up, she talked too about growing up the daughter of blind parents and marrying a blind man and all the comedy-gold material that provided her with. We also spoke about the new trend in the corporate world of using improve comedy for team building and motivational exercises. And finally we spoke about her latest undertaking; Women, Wine & Whiskey.
