Misery Loves Mandy is a Mostly Happy Podcast hosted by comedian Mandy Martino; weekly comedians discuss miserable moments and whether or not they made them into jokes.
Mandy Martino: Mandy Martino is a stand-up comedian, writer and actress. Originally from South Florida, Mandy received her Bachelor’s Degree from The University of Central Florida in business, which helps her professionally write dick jokes. While in college she began her comedy career at SAKs Comedy Lab and The Orlando Improv.
Once in LA she continued her love for comedy where she followed her SNL idols and studied at The Groundlings Theater and School. You can find Mandy performing stand-up all around Los Angeles.
In this week’s episode, Katie Thurston is miserable about Valentine’s Day, bringing her cat on a plane and the awkwardness of gift-giving.
Katie Thurston: Katie Thurston is best known for her televised appearance as a contestant on The Bachelor as well taking on the leading role as The Bachelorette in 2021. While her journey for love came to an end, her comedic journey is only just beginning as she trades roses for mics. When the comedy clubs shut down during the pandemic, Katie took the unconventional approach and tested out material on TikTok which lead to a massive following. Her natural comfort with an audience would later open the doors to many opportunities including opening for Whitney Cummings. Katie’s sense of humor is relatable, sexual, and self-deprecating as she vents about life in her thirties. While she is fresh to the comedy scene, she is certainly one to watch in 2023.
