Stand Up Trauma Bonding w/ Viv Harper | UnloadingMeat Ep. 99
🎙️ Happy Pride Month! Today, Jared chats up Tulsa's own comedian and podcaster, Viv Harper! She's the mastermind behind the fantastic podcast “Live and Let Viv” and co-hosts the hilarous “Owen & Viv Fistfight Your Dad.” Both are available on your go-to streaming services (but only after you’re done watching this, naturally!).
In this episode, we dive into what it truly means to be progressive, how to tackle the stand-up jungle as a newbie, the therapeutic magic of open mics, and how comedians are basically just trauma-bonding champions!
We also explore the fine line of using sexuality and LGBTQ+ labels in comedy, the pitfalls of tokenism, tribalism, and every other "-ism" in the book (Autism, anyone?). From Hamilton and The Last of Us 2 to The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, the art of crafting the perfect joke, taking pride in more than just rainbows, and a whole lot more, we’ve got a jam-packed session of laughs and insights on today's episode of UnloadingMeat with Jared Ralphie Allen!🎙️
