I met Stephanie at a Denver event, and wanted to deconstruct her sense of humor - which reminded me so much of Mike Birbiglia. Stephanie recorded this just a few weeks after her dad passed away, and we talk about his influence on her comedy.
Stephanie’s journey with comedy began as a child when she learned the power of making people laugh. Eventually she began pursuing stand up comedy in her 30s, married with 2 small children. Nine months after her first time on stage, Stephanie won a trip to the Las Vegas Comedy Festival and has been on the Denver comedy scene for over 17 years.
