In this episode of A Good Laugh Podcast, hosts Moonie and Jess Desvarieux welcome comedian Joanna Briley as their first guest. They explore the joy of comedy, the importance of community, and the challenges faced by comedians, particularly Black women in the industry.
From being jokingly "kidnapped" by her father to a major a-ha moment on 9/11, Joanna shares insights on how comedy has always been there to preserve joy during tough times.
The conversation is filled with anecdotes, humor, culminating in a fun game segment and deep reflections on the art of comedy.
