What's So Funny? with Elizabeth Ess
Monday, 6 July, 2015
“Once you find a passion, it feels like a waste of time to not go for it.” Stand up comic Elizabeth Ess talks with host Levi Weinhagen about working clean versus working dirty, one-liners versus storytelling comedy, and trying to fit in with non-comedians. Ess talks about getting started at the Monday Night Comedy Show and how finding stand up made her, without really realizing it, give up prose writing to become a comic. Ess also talks about doing live readings of her Bad Boys 3 script and it failing to get what she thinks it deserves, her Last Comic Standing LA callback and not wanting to date comics but not really wanting to be sucked into some regular world relationship. “It’s hard to find happiness and not see it as a trap.” http://elizabethess.com/
