“It’s like work, you’re not going to be best friends with all your co-workers.” Comic Jenn Schaal talks about how difficult it can be to feel like you’re often forced to compete with your friends when building a stand-up comedy career. She shares how her desire to support and hold up others can bump up against creating opportunities for herself. Jenn also talks about finding ways to get re-excited about writing new material and creating unscheduled time for her brain to work. Plus, Jenn shares a lot of thoughts on Rape jokes. And she talks about how important it is to not have the audience pity the comic. Recently, Jenn performed in the inaugural 2013 Limestone Comedy Festival, opening for her comedy idol, Maria Bamford and Jon Roy. Additionally in 2013, Jenn was named the third Funniest Person with a Day Job in the Twin Cities, and performed in the Boston Women In Comedy Festival. She was also a semi-finalist in the 2012 Rooftop Comedy National College Competition. https://twitter.com/jennschaal http://jennschaal.com/
