This week, Marcela is joined by stand-up comedian Lynn Harris.
Lynn Harris is a comedian, award-winning writer and producer, and founder of GOLD Comedy, the comedy school, creative network, and content studio where women and other “others” amp up their comedy careers, build powerful communities, and make funny stuff. Prior to that, Lynn’s 25+-year journalism career included writing on gender, culture, and social issues for the NYT and NYT Magazine, Salon, Glamour, NPR, and a million other publications and anthologies; her work changed laws and lives. Lynn co-created one of the internet’s earliest success stories: the award-winning Breakup Girl—the superhero who saves your love life—who appeared online, on TV, in books, and on stage. She is author of 6 books, including Death By Chick Lit and Breakup Girl to the Rescue! As VP of Communications for the global human rights group Breakthrough, Lynn brought her blend of humor and advocacy to create high-impact programming including “Be That Guy” animations screened at NASCAR and Indy 500 events, and Dudes Against Violence Against Women—live comedy shows reaching 38M. An experienced comedy performer/teacher/producer, she’s a co-founder of the wildly popular comedy event series Persisticon, which raises money to elect women. She’s also a former Tonya Harding lookalike, which is a long story.
