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, Dana Moon is miserable about hiding her self help books, performing on a cruise and having f*k’d up sex fantasies.
Dana’s comedy style is character-driven, physical, outlandish and over the top (in exactly the right amount). A famous comic once told her she’s like a young Carol Burnett and now she uses that as a credit.
She is known for appearances on major TV networks such as Netflix, Fox, MTV, Oxygen, Facebook Watch TV, and Hulu.
She was accepted to the University of Southern California (on her own merit) and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Theatre without pretending to be on a rowing team.
After college Dana studied improv at The Groundlings where she birthed characters such as Duke Ellington, Empty LA Girl, Dirty Diane, Sandy, Janelle Waters and The Hoarder Lady.
After completing three levels at the Groundlings her teachers and classmates urged her to start doing standup comedy and after resisting them she finally obliged. Dana quickly established herself in the Los Angeles comedy scene and has completed five national tours and most recently a USO Military Tour.
Dana made her first TV appearance as the lead in Oxygen channels’ “Straight up with a Twist.” She has most recently been on MTV sketch show called ADD TV, based off videos gone viral. She has also done man-on-the-street pranks for Fox’s hit daytime show “The Real” which an audience member told her “she should be up there, on the show more” (that audience member was her Mom)
She made her stand up TV debut on Laughs on Fox. Be sure to check it out streaming on Hulu right now!
Currently you can see Dana perform live this summer and keep an eye out for her man-on-the-street sketch show Follow her on all social media platforms!
