Episode 111: Emily Vokal (Comedian)

Talkin‘ the Talk With Don

I have interviewed musicians of may different genres: pop, alternative, classic rock, psych rock, jazz, blues, etc. I have also interviewed an author, a b-rate horror movie actress, and a tour manager but never a comedian... until now.

One evening while aimlessly scrolling through TikTok after taking my evening edible, I stumbled upon some videos from LA comedian Emily Vokal. Emily is an up and coming comedian and she is definitely on her way up. Her materials is witty, self-deprecating (sometimes we have to make fun of ourselves, I know I do.), and observant of the world around her. Being on her own in LA, working hard to make a mark on the world of stand up comedy, Emily is putting the work into it and it shows.

It was a great time talking with her about her journey as a comedian, mental health in comedy, and other awesome shit. Enjoy this one. I know I did.
