Everyone has a voice in this world, but in the Bay Area, these types of voices are definitely worth listening to regularly.
Normally hosted by Northern California comedic personalities JD Arandia, Corde Snell, and others, The Voice Party podcast features in-depth interviews from some of the funniest minds in entertainment as they find the funny in various current events and life topics.
In this week’s episode, JD and the crew chatted with comedian/producer Holly Shaw.
Shaw shares her thoughts on the current state of stand-up comedy, her producing methods, coaching, ticket sales, and much more.
In addition to being on her way to becoming a powerful voice in comedy she is also known for producing and creating spaces where creativity and innovation thrives. She is the executive producer of The Comedy Edge on the Oakland waterfront which enjoyed a streak of sold-out weekly shows from 2020 – 2022. Shaw is also the creator and host of the Comedy Lab Open Mic where participants write and perform new jokes all in one night which has presented workshops from 2019 – 2023.
Before finding her voice in stand-up comedy, Holly Shaw spent a lifetime on stage, T.V. and film as an actor, professional dancer and finally a speaker and coach to performing artists. Her past credits include starring in an ABC Afterschool Special at age 16, hosting a UK TV show, the Edinburgh Revue at 23, and dancing with the Pacific Symphony Orchestra at 33. She is the author of two books: the Amazon bestseller, The Creative Formula, and the #1 New Release, Making Art In the Middle of Madness.
