Amy Shanker - Quit Teaching to Become a Comedian, Storytelling Tips + MORE - comedy podcast

In last week’s pod you heard CJ Landry get real real…for real…about sleeping on floors, living in Air BnBs, and stealing food from DoorDash all to survive while chasing his comedy dreams. 

Well I say all that to say we’re now building on this comedy sacrifice theme with this week’s guest Amy Shanker. 

She was an award winning teacher that quit her job for comedy. You’ll hear the full story on our interview, but it was getting to the point she was out all night doing mics then up early teaching. 

So wherever you are in your comedy journey just know you are not alone. 

This episode adds a lot of perspective to when it’s time to take that leap of faith and the reality of the decision. 

If comedy was easy, everyone would do it so embrace the struggle and revel in the fact that’s all part of the comedy hustle. 

That’s why we have this community for you to connect, learn, and grow together.
